PLACES / 47 PREFECTURES
Explore Japan,
prefecture by prefecture.
Begin with the places you know. Stay for the islands, mountain towns and everyday neighbourhoods in between.
ONE COUNTRY, MANY PERSPECTIVES
Every prefecture has
a story worth telling.
Japanwise Studio approaches Japan as a collection of distinct places rather than a single itinerary. Each prefecture will grow into its own considered guide to local culture, food, landscapes, stays and people.
BEGIN HERE
Seven starting points.
Our first guides will begin with these places, before expanding across all 47 prefectures.
THE DIRECTORY
