Farther Afield

For more than 400 years, all roads have led to
Tokyo, the political, commercial, and cultural axis
of Japan. Significant ports, trading posts, temples,
mausoleums, and leisure resorts sprang
up along these highways. As a result, ideas
about architecture, religion, and gardening
coursed into the city. A first-rate train service
makes it easy to explore beyond the
megalopolis, and for sights at the edges
of the city, Tokyo’s subway system is
unmatched. Sumptuous tombs in
Nikko, the ancient city of Kamakura,
and the Edo-era Kawagoe invoke the
past. Alternatively, hiking at Mount
Fuji or Mount Takao is very
rewarding, as is exploring Japan’s
second-largest city, Yokohama.
