Best places to know Japan's history

Hi, I’m looking to travel to Japan to know more about it’s rich culture, but I’m also a fanatic of Manga and Anime. What are the must see spots for anime/manga fans?

Hey @georgia , for anime/manga, I would recommend spending some time in Akihabara in Tokyo. As for culture, definitely head to cities outside of the ‘Golden Route’, eg. Beppu for onsen/hot springs, Nikko for temples and Kanazawa for a laid back exploration of traditional Japanese culture away from the crowds.

@georgia if you want to immerse yourself in culture, consider spending a night at a Japanese temple for a quiet retreat. The simplicity and quietness of those places are magical, the architecture is to be admired and overall the experience is very relaxing, perfect for the end of your trip!
