Japan (The nation of rising sun or 日本) is one of my favor travel country. For the perspective of preserving the history and culture, and can still build a lot of heritage buildings and they are indeed living and coexist with them. This section is used for the travel content, the trip is split into a dedicated trip section by itself. To make it easy to navigate, it further divide into major dividision by region into sub page(s), just like traditional travel notebook with division, tab.
Best way to get the most travel experience, after I travel it for 8 trips in Japan, for sure is by season and region. As each season have specific highlights, but for some places just no a good timing to visit, said the place it for enjoy Cherry Blossom (Sakura) (during Spring), sunflower and lavender farm (during mid summer) Autumn falls (Momiji) season, or Winter time wonderlands.
Grouping the places you want to visit by region is also a good way based on the time you are available for the trip. The more trips you take, and for sure you will transform from being a tourist and be the traveler. You will enjoy the places less tourist and be more local, to get the most of the quality time traveling this way.
Resources I put here beside my own travel experience (you can read my trip journals section under "trips"), also get from further reading from the past history and literature (as some of the places if you never read certain literature before you are in those places, you will never "click" and appreciate for what you saw).
One of the best experiences traveling Japan is using their bullet train "Shinkansen 新幹線" infrastructure, highly efficient and bring distance point to point travel enjoyable, not to mention allow you to buy and eat bento in the train.
