What are some good places to visit (and stay) in Japan?

Tokyo and Kyoto, pretty obviously. Takayama, traditional for the castleMiyajima, pretty island close to coastMt Fuji, climb up for dawnNagasaki, a port with lots of history.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
