Kanto castle tourism
The Kanto region is a region where you can feel the history and innovation that can only be found in a large city. While there are cities with remarkable growth and development such as Tokyo and Yokohama, and numerous theme parks such as Tokyo Disney Resort, there are also historic cities such as Kawagoe, which retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, Nikko, a world heritage site, and Kashima Jingu, which is said to have been founded in the pre-Christian era. Many spots remain. There are also natural areas such as the World Heritage Site Ogasawara Islands and hot springs such as Kusatsu and Ikaho Onsen, with good access between spots. It is a region where you can enjoy various things.
