Tokyo is Japan's capital and the most populous city in the world, with nearly ten million residents spread across its 2,194 square kilometres. Chiba is a major city of nearly one million people situated in the Kantō region, just 30 kilometres from Tokyo. It contains several significant historical sites and museums that reflect both traditional Japanese culture and contemporary art. Utsunomiya is a significant city in Tochigi Prefecture, central Japan, with a population of over half a million.
Why it works
Rather than one city, this threads Tokyo, Chiba and Mito and more into a single trip, so you see more of Japan in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
