Beyond the big cities, Japan also boasts an amazing array of outdoor attractions. Hiking in the Japanese Alps or climbing snowcapped Mount Fuji. Wildlife safaris to photograph the famous snow monkeys who lounge in hot springs or the brown bears and crowned cranes of Hokkaido. Skiing or snowboarding the Winter Olympic slopes of Sapporo and Nagano.
