'Dan Flying Solo' shows us the spots you can't miss when visiting Tokyo in Japan!
In this day and age finding a natural environment that's still largely untouched and fiercely protected is rare. In many areas of Indonesia, where tourism has come in and stamped its ownership over everything, it’s a struggle to find the beauty of Mother Nature by herself. However, there is one place I have found where you can immerse yourself in the glory of nature, both above and below the sea.
As it turns out, Mt Everest is one sneaky mountain to find and she likes you to work hard in order to see her.
Life in North Thailand is relaxed, the people are more welcoming and the food is undeniably better!
From flowers to fish, cheap knock-offs to luxury goods; Hong Kong is the place to arrive with an empty bag and a full wallet. With shopping as one of the favourite national pastimes, it’s no wonder incoming flights are full of shoppers wanting to find the city’s bargains - and maybe see some cultural sites along the way.
Naked bathing in Japan is like vegemite on toast in Australia - you’re taught to love it from birth no matter how weird it really is.
The train ride to Ella is described as one of prettiest train journeys around the world and with good reason.
Despite its rural locality, Asaka Village attracts hordes of natives during the warmer months due to its great historical significance.
Tenkawa Village is hidden in the crevasses of mountainous terrain, densely covered in forest and teaming with glorious plants and animals. Japanese tourists have kept tight-lipped about this popular holiday destination for decades.
Shinjuku Gyoen is the most exquisitely pretty park in the Tokyo region - and it happens to be situated right next to Shinjuku.
