OVERVIEW:

One of Japan’s largest islands, Sado Island has an interesting history. Its culture can be seen in its unique traditional arts and entertainment. Jigokudani, home of the world famous “snow monkeys,” is situated in the valley of the Yokoyu River. 200 or so Japanese Macaque monkeys inhabit the area. Hakone, famous for its hot springs, natural beauty and the view of nearby Mt. Fuji, is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists looking for a break from Tokyo. Tokyo is Japan’s capital and the world’s most populous metropolis and offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture, and dining to its visitors.
