All over Japan
The best of Japan — nationwide lists (2026)
The Japan-wide lists — the best ryokan, onsen towns and places to visit, chosen from all over the country.
Most people fly into Tokyo and travel on. These lists cover the whole country — the ryokan worth a night, the onsen towns worth a detour — and every entry says where it is and why it earns its place.
