Kanagawa

Located right next to Tokyo, the prefecture fits in perfectly to classic itineraries. Kamakura as an essential day trip from Tokyo, Hakone en route to Kyoto, and Yokohama as a final base before heading out of either Haneda or Narita. Rediscovery Highlights Exclusive cultural experiences on Tokyo’s doorstep Kanagawa attracts many of Japan’s finest artisans, craftsman, chefs, and Japanese culture specialists. Together with its proximity to Tokyo, this provides the chance to easily upgrade and differentiate your golden route itineraries. Off-the-beaten-free-pass Much of the real magic and cultural essence of Hakone is largely missed on the standard free-pass trail. There are quaint villages, communities and generational family businesses built around its unique nature, heritage as Japan’s original retreat and key position on the Old Tokaido Road.
