Japan

Japan is one of those countries that really does have it all—ancient temples, futuristic cities, incredible food, and some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.

Stroll through Kyoto’s peaceful shrines, snack your way through Osaka’s street food scene, unwind in a mountain onsen, or get lost in Tokyo’s electric energy—you could easily spend a month traveling Japan and still not see it all.

It’s also one of the safest and easiest countries to travel solo, especially for women. Whether you’re chasing cherry blossoms, autumn momiji, or just craving something completely different, Japan won’t disappoint.
