Hakuba valley is the ideal place for hiking and trekking, which offers an amazing view of the Japan Alps. Hakuba is 3 hours away from Tokyo by train, and there are about 7 hotels and resorts in the area suited for sporting activities. Karuizawa, only an hour away from Tokyo, is another sport oriented region that has beautiful golf courses and amazing scenery.
Another must-visit area is Nikko, which has numerous ancient temples and shrines, hot springs, a national park and botanical garden, among others. Hotels in Nikko usually offer services to visit these beautiful locations which are UNESCO heritage sites.
With all this variety, do choose hotels based on the places and experiences you wish to have from Japan travel guides. This will make visiting the sites and attractions of Japan much more convenient for you.
