Parks, theme parks and buildings

The Kanto region is dotted with numerous scenic spots that can be accessed on a day trip from central Tokyo. Easily accessible by train or car, these places are a valuable way to experience the beauty of nature in the midst of your busy daily life. The charm of these places is that you can enjoy completely different scenery in each of the four seasons: rows of cherry trees and fields of rape blossoms in spring, fields of sunflowers and nemophila flowers in summer, mountains and valleys tinted with autumn leaves in fall, and snowy landscapes in the clear winter air. In particular, those who enjoy photography or are looking for a spot that looks good on social networking sites should not miss these locations. Each time you visit, you will see a new expression, such as a view combined with the sunrise or sunset, or a collaboration with landmarks such as Mt. For those who want to get in touch with nature, spend some quiet time, and experience the changing of the seasons, Kanto's spectacular scenic spots are ideal weekend getaways.
