Japan
Hidden gem in Japan for September travel that isn't Kyoto or Tokyo?
Learned this the hard way so hopefully it helps someone else.
Back
Takayama in the Japanese Alps is stunning in September with fewer crowds than Kyoto. The old town is beautifully preserved, the food is incredible, and day trips to Shirakawa-go are magical. It's also a great base for hiking the Kamikochi valley.
