Yes! Japan Airlines offers foreign visitors free flights within Japan. We share the details on this amazing offer that is an effort to introduce the less known and less crowded parts of Japan to visitors. With Japan experiencing record numbers of visitors, the most famous places of Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka are overrun with people. So this is a way to encourage visitors to go beyond these three main cities of Japan. Visit less known and off the beaten path places such as Hokkaido, Mojiko and Kyushu. Email us with your questions or travel ideas to info@unchartedjapan.net and check out our many videos on less know places.

One of the most beautiful places in Japan is found on Hokkaido, Japan’s northern main island. We visit Hakodate the island’s second largest city behind Sapporo. Hakodate was one of the first ports to open to the west, and today is a popular cruise ship destination full of history and beautiful scenery. We visit the Hakodate Public House, Goryokaku Castle and the Hakodate Ropeway. Many consider Mt. Hakodate to have the best mountain view in Japan with its 360 degree view and the Hakodate Ropeway. Come with us as we discover the best hidden gems of Japan and less touristy places of Japan.
