Japan’s hidden gems

Hi, I'm Hannah, and I've been lucky enough to live in Japan for over 8 years, documenting all my travels on Youtube. Being from Australia, I've always loved exploring the outdoors but gauging from the usual tourist spots in Japan, I always assumed there wasn't much nature to offer. It wasn't until the pandemic, when I started travelling off-the-beaten-path, that I quickly realised just how much Japan has been hiding from me. I have personally travelled to every hidden gem in this guide, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have in the past.
