A Few of Japan’s Natural Wonders

You might be most familiar with the neon-bathed streets of Tokyo or Osaka, but the deep in nature is where Japan’s true mystique lies.

I’ve been meaning to create a Kanazawa itinerary for the readers of Leave Your Daily Hell for a while—it just didn’t feel right until now.

Hiroshima is more than the city where the atomic bomb went off—all meaningful trips here begin and end with this premise.

The Red Lotus Sea deserves a spot on your bucket list—and a commitment from you to tick it off.

I wouldn’t recommend asking the question “is Koh Samet worth visiting?” in Bangkok circles, at least not polite ones.

Sukhothai feels deserted compared to Ayutthaya—and every other “lost city” I’ve visited in Southeast Asia.

Nakhon Si Thammarat is unpretentious, understated and, yes, unadulterated.

I’ll be honest: The Princess Mononoke forest was never high on my Japan bucket list, certainly not the first time I visited Yakushima island.

I was thrilled to be going to Koh Samui, of course—or at least thankful.

It’s easy to create a Tokyo itinerary that lasts three days—or even less.
