Tips from the community
Kamakura is a seaside suburb just south of Tokyo, on the city's outskirts. In Kamakura, you can find the famous 13-meter tall bronze Buddha statue, countless temples, and shrines, as well as enjoy Japanese seaside culture; that means delicious sushi and other traditional fish dishes. The Beach is also a popular surfing spot and often has a lively atmosphere.

madeleineray (Madeleine Ray) After spending time in Tokyo, it's always nice to get outside of the city and see the surrounding areas. There are a lot of varying landscapes on Tokyo's outskirts, from beaches to mountains, that show different sides of Japan and new activities which you cannot always experience in central Tokyo. I have included in this list suburbs of Tokyo that are perfect for overnight trips, as well as often-overlooked areas in Tokyo around the outskirts to take you a little bit off the beaten path in your Japan travels.
