Holy cow it's actually out! For the past 4 months I've been spending all of my time creating Beyond The Tourist Trail, my brand new Japan hidden gems travel guide with over 120 hidden gems included. If you liked this video, I'm pretty sure you're going to love it! Check out more info here: geni.us/beyondthetouristtrail
I usually dont like youtubers "off the beaten track" recommendations as they often are not really original, but here you got a solid selection! I've been to most of them and I totally agree with your recommendations! Well done!
after six weeks in tokyo, i am stoked to use your new guide to help me with planning the rest of my adventure. thank you! and looking forward to seeing what's next.
i went for a month trip last october by myself and that was a wonderful experience. i picked a direction and went there. i planned pretty much everything on the spot and booked hotels like 2 days before at the earliest before moving to another city. Your guides are gonna help me out so much when i go in march so i can dodge most of the tourists and have a relaxing time. a lot of my friends don't seem to understand that there's more to japan that tokyo, kyoto, and osaka so i kinda want to show them the other cool parts of japan.
If travelers would like to challenge to go to deep place of Japan courageously, I recommend them to go to Dewa sanzan, especially Haguro mountain in Yamagata prefecture where mountain preasts called Yamabushi or spiritual psychics train on the mountain. Travelers can also experience their ascetic and a little severe practices wearing characteristic white clothes.
This was one of my favourite trips in Japan. We stayed in a shukubo (temple stay) on Haguro San. Loved seeing the beautiful pagoda, climbing the 2,446 stone steps and seeing the Yamabushi (mountain monks) with their conch 🐚 Yamagata is such an underrated prefecture. I recommend Yamadera if you're visiting the area, too!
@Pvemaster2 Oh,That was a shame.You seemed to be so close to Mt.Haguro.I hope you could walk up to the mountain next time. The many steps to the pagoda and shrine are sorounded by clear sacred air and very tall old ceder trees. I think little waterfall also still exists one the way to the shrine.
@Shauna O'Brien It's great!! you made it!! As you tell us, I think Yamagata is one of the hidden good tour destinations in Japan. Especially, their beef, ramen, fruits, sake, vegitables, imoni potato soup and soba are very good taste. Yamadera is also wonderful place which temple is on the mountain.
Thanks for adding oita, it’s quite hidden down in the bottom of Japan, it’s definitely somewhere I wanna visit for work like farming and making things thanks for including it
U may want to look up the town of Hagi in Yamaguchi prefecture. It’s previously an old Samurai township so u get to see a lot of beautiful traditional architecture. Mostly have been restored and under conservation rules
I was so excited about Nikko until you brought up the dreaded Yuba. Definitely an acquired taste! Just returned from Japan and am already dreaming of our next trip so this video is great - thanks!
We are planning our trip to Japan and your videos are literally not only saving us so much time in researching, but also amazing tips for sightseeing the authentic Japan and amazing travel strategies! Definitely grabbing the app as our go-to travel survival guide for Japan! Thank you
@@ronisamurp Through people following recommendations like this lol. It's either word of mouth or a tour operators/ travel agents pipeline funnelling folk to those places - especially if they're 'Instagrammable' (photogenic).
I am so happy you released this ebook! I've been following you for maybe 3 years and have been waiting for something like that from you. Definitely going to purchase closer to my Japan trip! Congrats and keep being awesome and real 💪
Woop woop! All of these places look lovely. Congratulations on publishing the guide! I'll go buy it and recommend it to my vegetarian friend who's visiting Japan next month 😊
Wow, these are some really amazing hidden gems in Japan! I love discovering new and unique places to visit, and this video has definitely given me some great ideas for my next trip. It's always great to see lesser-known spots that offer a different perspective of a country's culture and history.
I love Hakone so much, you can see Mount Fuji, experience onsen from the mountain or even coffee onsen! a very interesting Hydrangea train, go down the big lake with big Torii Gate, and go up to the sulphuric Owakudani mountain which apparently sells black egg that believed can make you stay on earth for 7 years longer 😂 plus there’s Hakone open air museum.. haven’t been to Nikko, but i think Hakone is hard to beat tho! 🤭
Great video. Japan is rich in tourism resources, and Japanese people frequently travel within the country. Each region has its own specialties and offers delicious meals and souvenirs that make the most of these specialties. As a volcanic country, Japan has hot springs all over the country, and bathing in hot springs while enjoying nature is a regular trip for Japanese people.
Tip for those of you who seek out a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere but still want to see the "popular" spots. For those popular sites that are open at night- go then. Some examples: Asakusa- night time is much more quiet, especially if you go when the stalls are mostly closed...as a bonus some of the food stalls will offer discounts. Fushimi Inari- Grounds are open 24/7 I believe so if you go at night and bring a flashlight it makes for a great walk with almost nobody around. Kaiyukan- Also open at night, it of course does close but it's way less crowded at night. Of course some of the experience with going to some of these places is experiencing the temple itself which will probably be closed, this is especially so if you wanted to get something from the temple such as a Goshuin in your book. But I try to visit in the afternoon so i can still get these items AND experience some tranquility.
I just found ur channel, and i really appreciate the quality of ur content, and that u highlight things that arent repeated in every channel. Quality can only be matched by Abroad in japan, Sharmeleon, and Tokyo lens, but u stand out in a good way 👌keep it up, when i go to japan i will buy ur book first, i also like how u only advertise for ur own brand
Love this! I have been to a few of the places on your list - Nikko a few times. Shirakawago was magical, it snowed a bit when I was there. I also recommend nearby Hida Takayama. Beppu was so lovely, and I loved visiting the art galleries in nearby Oita City, too. Ouchi-juku was beautiful in the autumn. I had such a nice day there. I loved the whole Aizu area of Fukushima, and stayed in an amazing vegan-friendly guest house in an old school, called Dana Village in Nishi-Aizu. So so recommended. I lived in Japan for a few years and this year am going back for the first time since leaving. I have visited every prefecture, but Nachi Falls is still high on my list! Maybe this time. Just to echo your tip to rent a car - please do! I loved driving in Japan. It was so easy, as I'm from the UK, so used to driving onthe left, all the cars are automatic and the roads are really good. You see sooo much beauty. Aso San was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever done. I really loved it there. Also, you get to stop at roadside service stations and pick up lovely local souvenirs and local produce. Can't wait to come back, you have really inspired me ❤️
I wish I had you guide in 2016 when I went to Japan. I'm going again this summer but I am going on a 6 weeks camper trip from Tokyo to Hokkaido and back. Hopefully to find soms best kept secrets in those prefectures.
Hey, Ineke Boeter, I currently live in tokyo and I always wonder about going on a camper trip but I am afraid of going solo, since I dont know anything about it. If you are interested and have some space, is it possible for me to join. I am also going to hokkaido to attend a flying course this summer.
Perfect for exactly the kind of travel I enjoy. Thank you so much for the dream fuel the past few years, and congrats on the release. I'll be enjoying it!
Wow that travel Guide sounds amazing! I have a question regarding traveling with small children: Which island would you choose: Ishigaki, Amami or Okinawa? Thank you so much in advance!
If you’re travelling with a car, then I’d recommend Amami or Ishigaki but if only using public transport then I think that Okinawa main land will be easier.
I just bought this guide and WOW!!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting this together. I am headed to japan for 2 weeks in april and I'm already going to Tokyo, Kyoto, and probably Kanazawa. But I had a couple extra days I needed to fill and I wasn't sure where to go. So this guide has been a life saver. Thank you for putting it together. And I encourage anyone thinking of going to japan to buy it!
@@alwaysinsearch I did go on my trip! It was great. I spent time in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kanazawa. All three places were quite different. I liked Kyoto more than Tokyo. In fact, Kyoto is a city I could see myself living. Kanazawa was also AMAZING, and sort of a hidden gem. My favorite place I went was Lake Shoji which is one of the 5 lakes near mount fuji. I got an absolutely epic picture of myself with Mount Fuji. The weather was perfect, but that isn't always the case (sometimes the mountain isn't even visible because of the clouds). Fair warning, if you take a bus to lake shoji I think there are only 2 per day, and it makes trying to connect to the train very difficult. If I had to do it again I would stay at a hotel that is near Lake Shoji (you can google it).
Good evening. I always feel that the impressions of various parts of Japan that foreigners have visited are very stimulating because the perspective is fresh. I'm going to Kyoto next week, but I can't make such an attractive video. Please continue to travel to Japan. I do too Oh, I have to study English too. ^^
Thank you for this awesome information. Definitely will include those hidden gems on our next trip. Do they allow guests with tattoo to use the onsens? Added this video to my library and will purchase the e-book.
Very nice video and well organized content! When is the best time to go to Japan? Some ppl say during Cherry blossom but that’s during Easter which is usually very crowded. Thank you
Hi Hannah! I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’ve been saving them and keeping notes and finally this year is the year I get to visit Japan(:
My first “Let’s go” was at 0:33 seconds :D the first of many! Buying your guide as soon as the video ends, we’re hoping to travel next year with our 4-year-old :)
I love your content! We also try to cover hidden gems in Tokyo, but Japan is filled with wonders and beauty! Thank you for visiting, and hope you come to Japan again soon(:
Congrats on the net book (I don’t know the right word for digital books. Infact, it’s probably that). You really are a credit to Japan, I hope they notice that. I’ll fire in to the book on payday haha. Keep on the awesome work you do
I just bump into this video and thank you for covering such OUTSTANDING places in Japan. ❤❤ i love Japan but some of the places i didn’t know. Someday i want to visit japan but here i have a question.....can you please tell me which season is best in japan if i want to go there for short time like a month or so???? 😊
Bought your guide! This video and the guide have helped SO MUCH in planning me and my friend's trip. I leave Sunday! Im really looking forward to it!!!! THANK YOU!
If you ever visit Kyoto, there is a kawadoko restaurant (Ryori Ryokan) Hirobun just north of the city you can take a train and bus/taxi too that makes for a fun side trip to eat somen straight out of the flowing water. 日本が とても大好きだ!!
Great videso. Just bought your off the trail guide. heading to japan for first time at xmas - we have two weeks and four days - so hopefully can add a few of your 'gems' to our trip. Thank you.
I will definitely invest in your travel guide I'm so happy to see another japan video from you please post more and I hope the visa is fixed. Another great video good job
Thanks so much for this Hannah, very cool and hope to make use of it for our trip in July! I was wondering if you included any information about how to rent a car in Japan, in advance (online) before a trip from Australia? I am having so much trouble finding a reliable way to book a hire car. Our whole trip is regional based mostly and we really need a car to make it work. Any suggestions, gratefully received, thanks in advance!
In the past I’ve just searched online for a car rental place nearby where I’m flying into but you can also try searching by car brand and then rental car, like “Sapporo Toyota rental car” or something like that should bring up good options!
No thank you hannah because you have given me exactly what i was looking for in going to tokyo japan when it comes to country side of things of course ill be adding more over the years with my hubby and future child in ten years time wholl be 8 years old. ❤ Cannot wait for the dream of a trip. 🥰
These recommendations are AMAZING!!! As someone who has lived in Japan for a long time, just thinking of researching transportation and translating is overwhelming lol I'm surprised you didn't include Tohoku. Highly recommend Towada-ko and Oirase-Keiryu if you haven't been there! Also all the small islands like Tsushima and Hachijo-jima
I am going to travel to Japan for 3 weeks next year and planning it stresses me A LOT. I will travel in spring and my only concern is the massive crowds. I would love to buy your Tour Guide but I would like to know something: Are there also spots while you travelled during Covid and that’s why there weren’t many tourists?
Congrats Hannah! 🙌 A travel guide from you makes SO much sense with all your experience and beautiful photography. I hope to be able to travel Japan by car in the future as well.
I'm happy to see that you included the Kurashiki Bikan district, it's my favourite city destination in Japan. I always recommend it to visitors to Japan, especially those who want somewhere other than as you refer it 'the golden triangle' of tourist sites to visit.
Instant grab for me, it may be a while before I can go but will be happy to look through for inspiration and supporting your channel at the same time thank you for this! :)
So happy to find your channel thank you so much for doing all these hard research and then sharing , I just have to be your new subs 😀 appreciate all the info 😇😎❤️

I'm flying over next week!
Congratulations Hannah, this is very cool and I have shared it with my friends that go to Japan often.
thank you
Purchased, now to start planning for my 6th trip to Japan
I usually dont like youtubers "off the beaten track" recommendations as they often are not really original, but here you got a solid selection! I've been to most of them and I totally agree with your recommendations! Well done!
I’m Japanese originally from Osaka.
This video is obviously correct. It will help tourists to understand the places and locations.
The best guide to Japan on UA-cam. Simply Amazing research.
What?!
As fun as Tokyo can be, I loved the smaller cities and towns the best. Can't wait to get back there.
I agree. There's so much character and charm in the countryside.
Japan is beautiful. Glad to have some new places to visit.
すっごいすっごい勉強になります！Better than ANY guidebook!
Arigato gozaimasu!!

I was in Tsuruoka during the snow storm so unfortunately couldn't go, seems like an amazing place

Yamadera is also wonderful place which temple is on the mountain.
@Eversteijn
Oh,that's great.Thank you for adding it to your maps.
Mogami river cruise and Japanese cherry picking might be also interesting.
OMG I'm so glad you started with Beppu! I love Oita so much. I hope you're situation in Japan has flattened out now Hannah. Big fan of your stuff.
Yesss I loved my time in Beppu! Such a cool vibe in that city.
Thanks for adding oita, it’s quite hidden down in the bottom of Japan, it’s definitely somewhere I wanna visit for work like farming and making things thanks for including it
Literally just purchased! Cannot wait to go through properly over the coming weeks but it looks lovely, especially on my iPad! Great job!
Thank you so much! I really hope you enjoy the guide and the beautiful places it’ll take you to!
I wasn’t sure about Kyushu but you made me pick Beppu and Aso! Looks absolutely stunning
Doing last minute planning for how I want to spend the last 4 nights of my two week trip...this video is just what I needed!
Any reccomendations for someone who is planning on going to japan in 2026 and loves the architecture of old japan?
U may want to look up the town of Hagi in Yamaguchi prefecture. It’s previously an old Samurai township so u get to see a lot of beautiful traditional architecture. Mostly have been restored and under conservation rules
This is fantastic! Just what I was looking for, for my Japan itinerary! Thank you!
I was so excited about Nikko until you brought up the dreaded Yuba. Definitely an acquired taste! Just returned from Japan and am already dreaming of our next trip so this video is great - thanks!
Wow. The clips made me tear up. Looks so beautiful. Hoping to go to Japan next year
Loved Japan! Absolutely fantastic. We got some spectacular footage and more importantly created amazing memories!
3:27 wait! Andrew from the blender tutorial Andrew?! What a surprise!! Love this video by the way.😂
Came to the comments just to see if any one else recognised the blender man. Makes sense they're both aussie
I didn’t even realized, what a surprise 😂
We are planning our trip to Japan and your videos are literally not only saving us so much time in researching, but also amazing tips for sightseeing the authentic Japan and amazing travel strategies! Definitely grabbing the app as our go-to travel survival guide for Japan! Thank you
tanoshii desu ne.
Does anyone else wonder how crowded touristy places get to be that way?
@@ronisamurp Through people following recommendations like this lol. It's either word of mouth or a tour operators/ travel agents pipeline funnelling folk to those places - especially if they're 'Instagrammable' (photogenic).

Congrats and keep being awesome and real 💪
i am adding lots of hidden jems and non visited destinations to my list to be there someday rather than the usual touristic spots in japan!
Woop woop! All of these places look lovely. Congratulations on publishing the guide! I'll go buy it and recommend it to my vegetarian friend who's visiting Japan next month 😊
Thanks for the word of mouth! Yeah it’s tricky for us vegetarians but not impossible! Hopefully my tips with smooth it all out for you!

A camper van is the best way to see (but I’m biased obviously haha)
Hey, Ineke Boeter, I currently live in tokyo and I always wonder about going on a camper trip but I am afraid of going solo, since I dont know anything about it. If you are interested and have some space, is it possible for me to join. I am also going to hokkaido to attend a flying course this summer.
We love Hokkaido in both summer and winter! 💜 We haven’t been to the igloos yet. Next time we want to make it to the snow festival. ❄️ Heidi
This was very good. I love japan. Great job presenting the information
Perfect for exactly the kind of travel I enjoy. Thank you so much for the dream fuel the past few years, and congrats on the release. I'll be enjoying it!
Its good to see some hidden gema of Japan. We already add some in out map. Thank you!
Wow that travel Guide sounds amazing!
I have a question regarding traveling with small children:
Which island would you choose:
Ishigaki, Amami or Okinawa? Thank you so much in advance!
If you’re travelling with a car, then I’d recommend Amami or Ishigaki but if only using public transport then I think that Okinawa main land will be easier.
My sister and I liked this video! Japan is a wonderful place!

That’s so great to hear! 😍 I’m so excited to start seeing people travelling to these places!

I'm glad UA-cam suggest me this vlog. Makes me wanna go back to Japan instantly, ahaks... TQ for sharing, I really appreciate it.
Congrats on the travel guide, Hannah!! So happy for you!! 🎉🎉 I can't wait to finally visit Japan one day to get it!
Thanks for the tips! I'm sure you're well aware and beyond this now - including a brief overview map shot of the locations would help greatly.
さすがです。紹介内容が濃い。映像はいつもとってもすてきです。

Thank you so much! I really hope you like it. Also I believe the kids are calling them "e-books" :P
Out of all the places I have only been to Nikko, thank you for this lovely video..Would love to travel these places soon,,

Was the guide helpful? How was the trip?
Nice list of locations and great blending between advertisement and actual advices.
Just bought your travel guide Happy that I am able to support you as a long time subscriber :)
I've been to Nikko and enjoyed it there. Stayed in the wrong location perhaps not much around but was still very beautiful
Going to do a little of the Kumano Kodo this year and I CAN'T WAIT to see the Nachi Falls.
It’s such a beautiful area! I think you’re going to love it 😍
Hi!Hannah!
I think your picture is beautiful!
Always looking forward to it.😊
Thank you for your video. It was very helpful for the local resident as well ☺️
So much insight and amazing b roll. You are so talented advenurer with a purpose.
Chefs kiss! Planning to be in Japan in 2024 so looking forward to checking out your guide for all the tips!
こんな綺麗に撮れるんですねー

Great videso. Just bought your off the trail guide. heading to japan for first time at xmas - we have two weeks and four days - so hopefully can add a few of your 'gems' to our trip. Thank you.
Great selection of spots in Japan.
Just came across this. Will be going to Japan Fall 24. Look forward to learning on this site
hannahさんの画像はいつもきれいですね！
Juicy details.,victor
Even as Japanese, I've only been to 1 place (Chapel on the water) among your list of places.
Thank you for the information, Hannah chan✨🙏😊
Oh really? I’m surprised it’s Chapel on the water also because that place is quite far away! So beautiful though!
@@CurrentlyHannahYes! I went there for my cousin's wedding, otherwise I didn't know. 😊
@@LemifromJapan Ooooh that must've been lovely! It's actually the only location I ever saw and thought "I wanna get married there!" hahah
@@CurrentlyHannah hehe Sounds great😆✨💕
I will definitely invest in your travel guide I'm so happy to see another japan video from you please post more and I hope the visa is fixed. Another great video good job
Thanks so much for this Hannah, very cool and hope to make use of it for our trip in July!
I was wondering if you included any information about how to rent a car in Japan, in advance (online) before a trip from Australia? I am having so much trouble finding a reliable way to book a hire car. Our whole trip is regional based mostly and we really need a car to make it work.
Any suggestions, gratefully received, thanks in advance!
In the past I’ve just searched online for a car rental place nearby where I’m flying into but you can also try searching by car brand and then rental car, like “Sapporo Toyota rental car” or something like that should bring up good options!
No thank you hannah because you have given me exactly what i was looking for in going to tokyo japan when it comes to country side of things of course ill be adding more over the years with my hubby and future child in ten years time wholl be 8 years old. ❤
Cannot wait for the dream of a trip. 🥰
These recommendations are AMAZING!!! As someone who has lived in Japan for a long time, just thinking of researching transportation and translating is overwhelming lol
I'm surprised you didn't include Tohoku. Highly recommend Towada-ko and Oirase-Keiryu if you haven't been there! Also all the small islands like Tsushima and Hachijo-jima
I'm living in Tohoku region now, thanks for the tips!
Going back to Japan for my birthday in October definitely gonna hit some of these
I am going to travel to Japan for 3 weeks next year and planning it stresses me A LOT. I will travel in spring and my only concern is the massive crowds. I would love to buy your Tour Guide but I would like to know something: Are there also spots while you travelled during Covid and that’s why there weren’t many tourists?
Thank you so much for this!! 💯
Congrats Hannah! 🙌 A travel guide from you makes SO much sense with all your experience and beautiful photography. I hope to be able to travel Japan by car in the future as well.
Thank you so much! It feels like finally I can put all of my past experience to good use 😃 I really hope you enjoy it!
very nice!!!! New spot to visit!
Surprised you didn’t include Okutama, Tokyo’s hidden nature area that doesn’t get enough love.
I actually have never been before (if you'll believe it). It looks soooo beautiful so I'd love to see it one day.
You're the goat. Booked a few from this video. tyty
Tsubanne Onsen looks majestic nice.
You are an absolute legend! Thank you! 💛💛
I'm happy to see that you included the Kurashiki Bikan district, it's my favourite city destination in Japan. I always recommend it to visitors to Japan, especially those who want somewhere other than as you refer it 'the golden triangle' of tourist sites to visit.
It's so cute hey! And so easy to get to from Osaka :)
Yess! Thanks for including our prefecture of Okayama 😊😊😊 we are often over looked 😂
Instant grab for me, it may be a while before I can go but will be happy to look through for inspiration and supporting your channel at the same time thank you for this! :)
Thank you! I hope you get super inspired by some of the locations!
So happy to find your channel thank you so much for doing all these hard research and then sharing , I just have to be your new subs 😀 appreciate all the info 😇😎❤️
