We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like David McElhinney, who lives in Japan, and has been published widely, covering the country's extraordinary culinary and arts scenes, including manga and anime; Japanese history and religious traditions; jazz bars; onsens; and more. He'll steer you away from the touristy and the inauthentic and show you the real heart of the Land of the Rising Sun.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsider advice on the best travel experiences, like visiting Naoshima (Japan's Art Island); exploring Kyoto's Gion District; making a pilgrimage to Sensoji Temple; skiing in Honshu and Hokkaido; or riding the Skinkansen Bullet Train.
