Every year, seven to eight million foreigners make the trip to Japan. But where do they go sightseeing? And, more importantly, do these places come up to scratch? A list of the most impressive sightseeing spots for the year to date, as ranked by foreign tourists, has been released by the popular travel site TripAdvisor. And while you’d think the top spot might go to a beloved and well-known destination like Kyoto or Tokyo, it actually goes to a simple-looking, modern building in the south-west of the country, in Hiroshima Prefecture.
The places on the list I have visted include the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, Tsukiji Fish Market, Itsukushima Shrine and others.
