Ghid de călătorie în Japonia: Cele mai bune mâncăruri, obiective și hoteluri din țară

Unde mănâncă cei mai buni bucătari din Tokyo tonkatsu și sushi în zilele lor libere?

De unde își cumpără organizatorul expert Marie Kondo pijamalele? Am întrebat 24 de personalități culturale japoneze, printre care arhitecți, designeri de modă și artiști, să împărtășească locurile pe care le iubesc cel mai mult din țară. Singurul criteriu a fost ca fiecare alegere să fie undeva pe care să o recomande personal și cu entuziasm.

Lista rezultată cu peste 100 de locuri – aranjată mai jos pe insule și, în cadrul acesteia, pe prefecturi, în ordine alfabetică – nu este un ghid tipic sau cuprinzător. Dar, sperăm, este plină de surprize chiar și pentru vizitatorii obișnuiți ai Japoniei, cei care poate nu au urcat încă scările abrupte de lemn ale Templului Kasamori-Kannon din Chonan, nu au mâncat mâncare italiană pe coasta sălbatică a Peninsulei Noto sau nu au campat pe insula subtropicală nelocuită Hamiya. — Danielle Demetriou
