Japan Today has posted the top 20 Japanese travel destinations for foreign travelers.  It is from the tourism website TripAdvisor.com.

The article begins with:


TOKYO —The Japanese arm of tourism website TripAdvisor gathered user comments and evaluations from the past year and used them to rank the Top 20 travel destinations in Japan over that time. Hiroshima Prefecture maintained its popularity with two destinations in the Top 5 while five Kyoto sightseeing spots made the list.

I've been to several of them including the number one destination, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.  I've also visited Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, Hakone Ropeway in Hakone and Miyajima (Itsukushima Shrine) Island in Hatsukaichi City.  It is surprising that Matsushima Bay didn't make the list.
