Kotoku-in (Great Buddha of Kamakura)

This nearly 47-foot bronze statue of Amida Buddha is the second largest Buddha statue in Japan.

Reviewed By jeanettekz - Munich, Germany

After reading about some guided tours from northern Kamakura down through the hiking trails to the Buddha, we decided to just try and do it on our own. We were very happy we did because the peace and quiet of doing it as a couple was wonderful. Finishing our hike with the Buddha felt slightly triumphant. We didn't go inside of the Buddha, but it felt like a nice way to finish the day. We went in July and probably got there about mid-day but it wasn't ridiculously crowded, although busy. Very beautiful and impressive up-close. Kamakura was a very fun day trip for us outside of visiting Tokyo--I highly recommend it.

Yokohama Minato Mirai 21

When Japan emerged from centuries of isolation in the mid-19th century, Yokohama was a tiny seaside village, home to only 100 people or so. But as the tide of internationalization rose, a port was established and Yokohama began to grow as a gateway to Japan. Yokohama is now a leading international trading port, the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo. Situated just a short distance along the coast from the Japanese capital, and within easy reach of Haneda Airport, Yokohama is now a magnet for tourists not just from Japan but from every corner of the world; it's a place everyone wants to visit. Minato Mirai 21 is a modern urban development that was created, and continues to evolve, on 186ha of land. A shipbuilding facility that used to divide Yokohama's two main urban centers on Tokyo Bay was relocated, and additional land was reclaimed from the sea. In 1989 an exposition was held to mark the 100th anniversary of Yokohama's city status and the 130th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port. Following that event development gathered momentum, and now the area boasts office blocks, commercial facilities, hotels, amusement parks and convention facilities, as well as such cultural amenities as art museums and concert halls. This, the new face of Yokohama, offers an entire spectrum of urban functions and attracts more than 70 million visitors every year. Minato Mirai 21 is full of great experiences. The liberating expanse of Tokyo Bay and the dynamic appeal of the contemporary architecture contribute to the area's strikingly unusual beauty, which you can enjoy from the elegant surroundings of several first-class hotels. For the shopper, more than 600 stores offer an astonishingly broad selection of goods ranging from top fashion brands to animation character merchandise. Apart from excellent Japanese cuisine, delicious food from around the world is available at more than 200 restaurants. Theme parks offer exciting rides, parks a place to sit and enjoy the seascape. Packed with pleasure, Minato Mirai 21 is a fun place to visit with family and friends at any time of year, on any occasion, and for so many different reasons. If you move on to the area beyond Minato Mirai 21, you'll find intriguing glimpses of a fascinating history in the Kannai district, which developed quickly in the second half of the 19th century after the Port of Yokohama opened, and beyond Kannai you'll arrive at Japan's largest Chinatown. Yokohama offers points of interest that no other city can match. And just a day trip away are some of the best hot spring baths in Japan at Hakone, as well as the globally renowned beauty of Mt. Fuji. So after a day of fun in Minato Mirai 21, you can spend the night at one of the area's great hotels and then the next day you can be soaking in an onsen or admiring a view of Mt. Fuji. That is the special appeal of a relaxing holiday based in Japan's new leading tourism and leisure destination: Minato Mirai 21.

Minato Mirai is by many accounts one of the best places to visit in Yokohama. The area is conveniently located two train stops away from Yokohama station. Minato Mirai has several shopping centers within close proximity of each other, lots of cafes and shops, as well as a carnival style amusement park full of fun and exciting rides, plus a ferris wheel. The Yokohama Hard Rock Cafe is located in Minato Mirai. Minato Mirai also offers a beautiful view of the port and Yokohama Bay. There's places full of activities for families with children as well as romantic spots for couples. The historical Red Brick Warehouse of Yokohama is also in the area. The Red Brick Warehouse often has a lot of interesting events worth checking out. If you go to Yokohama without visiting Minato Mirai, then you are missing out.

Lake Ashinoko

Created 3,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption, this lake is cruised by boats year round and, from its southern edge, offers the view of Mt. Fuji often seen in tourist brochures.

Reviewed By KKgirl93 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

If you are blessed with beautiful weather, your cruise on Lake Ashi will be amazing. We were fortunate enough to take a short cruise on a cloudless, blue-sky day, and thoroughly enjoyed the serene surroundings. Mount Fuji was not very clearly in view during our cruise, but we could see her silhouette.

this serene lakeside shrine has everything - towering cedars, a beautiful torii gate on the shore of lake ashi, and a main shrine complex up a steep flight of stairs to make your pilgrimage worthwhile! there's usually a line to have a picture under the lakeside gate, but waiting is worthwhile and pleasant in the shade. don't be shy about exploring along the lakeshore after you get your photo. remember that this is a place of worship, so act accordingly while you're here.

Hakone Ropeway

Glide through the skies in the world’s second-longest cable car, whose 13-passenger gondolas offer breathtaking panoramic views.

Reviewed By F2239QNrosec - Melbourne, Australia

The ropeway (in my view more a cable car) provided an excellent morning of views and education, as well as the chance to eat black eggs (which taste like normal eggs), black curry bun (tasty!) and we also sampled a black icecream. However, the main activity was the ride over the thermal vents, and the viewpoint from the end of the ride. There was a geology museum, as well as a number of shops. The trip continued with another ride, this time to Lake Ashi, where there might have been a view of Mt Fuji, except for the customary cloud cover. There were a number of options for a lake trip, but we didn’t do this. The round trip was about $A50, so on the more expensive side for our large family, but worth it. Note: we walked to the base station from the Hakone village, which was a stiff climb of about an hour, and could have been done by bus or car. There was no real benefit to the walk, in that there were no views to speak of, but it was a good work out!
