Missing Japan? We feel you. The pandemic might have upended all of our 2020 travel plans, but we can still dream and plan ahead for when the skies re-open. (Meanwhile, you can still bring a piece of Japan home – and earn KrisFlyer miles at the same time – by browsing KrisShop’s curated range of authentic Japanese products, from exquisite porcelain teacups to stylish mini scarves and handcrafted furniture.)
For your first trip back, consider going off the beaten track to less-travelled Western parts of Japan. In particular, the Chugoku and Shikoku regions promise rural beauty, quaint historical towns and quintessential Japanese cuisine. The best way to get there is by flying to Osaka, before hopping on the highly efficient rail system to explore the various destinations – just make sure to acquaint yourself with the country’s travel safety measures in advance.
