MOUNTAINS

Sit back, relax, and let us take you on a journey through the most scenic train rides Japan has to offer.

The mountains of the Zao Mountain Range are one of the defining natural features of the Tohoku region.

Because of its location on the Ring of Fire, Japan has more than 100 volcanoes—making it a top destination for those interested in these powerful symbols of danger and beauty.

While travelers tend to be drawn to Japan's major cities, there's much to be savored in its quiet countryside, where a different, deeper kind of beauty awaits.

Japan is one of the best travel destinations on the planet. Here’s why.

Mount Takao is a 599-meter (1,965-ft) mountain in western Tokyo that has received a three-star rating from the Michelin Guide.

It's less than an hour from Shinjuku to Takaosanguchi Station, where a very steep chairlift awaits.
