Shrine gates, castle towns, and the shadow of Fuji.
A country of packs. Tokyo's neon crossings and quiet forest shrines, the five lakes below Mount Fuji, Nagasaki's layered history from Dutch traders to the atomic age, Matsumoto's black castle reflected in its moat, Kagoshima's smoking volcano across the bay, and Sapporo's wide boulevards at the edge of Hokkaido. Choose a city, choose a route, and walk while a calm voice tells you what you're looking at.

Six cities, six entirely different days. The packs cover all of them.
The city that never settles: Meiji Shrine in its forested calm, the organised chaos of Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Tower lit up at night, Zōjō-ji in Shiba Park, and the Ghibli Museum tucked away in Mitaka.
The Chureito Pagoda with Fuji behind it, the five lakes of the Fuji Five Lakes region, the white thread of Shiraito Falls, and the Sengen shrines that have watched the mountain for centuries.
A port city with more layers than most: the Gothic arches of Oura Church, the terraced slopes of Glover Garden, and the Atomic Bomb Museum sitting quietly above the Peace Park.
Zenkō-ji, one of Japan's oldest temples, drawing pilgrims for over a thousand years. And Matsumoto Castle, whose black-and-white keep is the oldest surviving original castle keep in the country.
Sakurajima smoking across Kinko Bay, the clifftop garden of Sengan-en, Kagoshima Castle, and the boiling mud pools of Beppu's Hells a few hours north on the coast.
Japan's north island has a different pace. The 19th-century clock tower in the centre, Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill looking out over the plains, and Maruyama Park when the cherry trees are out.
Twenty-five stops across Japan, grouped by what they are.
The things travelers ask before they download.
