My Travels to Chubu Region of Japan


Over the course of my month-long trip to Japan that I organised for myself through XcelTrip, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend 15 days in the Chubu region and explore its nine prefectures in the centre of Japan’s largest island, Honshu.


The diverse Chubu region caters to every tourist’s dream- It has beaches, snow-capped mountains, hot springs and all in the same region! Though, the main highlight and attraction of this region is the iconic, tourist dream, Mount Fuji and the Japanese alps.
To categorise my wonderful travel experience in the region, here is my experience in some of the prefectures:
1.     Shizuoka Prefecture – The Riviera of Japan

I spent most of my time exploring this wonderful area. Home to the famous Mount Fuji, and The Izu peninsula, I fell in love with the scenic beauty of it all. The decision of visiting the country when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, was perhaps my best till date. Visiting the prefectural capital of Shizuoka should be a must on every traveller’s list for those picturesque views of Mount Fuji.

I spent my time in this region almost surrounded by nature. The hot springs of Lake Hamanako and the city of Fujinomiya at the base of Mount Fuji satisfied my little nature enthusiast to the brim. So, this place is a 10/10 for all the nature enthusiast like me.

2.     Gifu Prefecture

This landlocked region is famous for its mountains and collections of small hamlets. The entire region is so distant from the city life that it left me feeling more peaceful than I ever have.

3.     Nagano Prefecture

Site of the Olympic Winter Games, 1998, this region holds a plethora of areas that a must visit. I particularly enjoyed visiting Yamanouchi, the home of the hot spring bathing monkeys. Yes, I did say, the hot spring bathing monkeys! The wonderful castles of Matsumoto and the Takato castle were a wonder to behold.
Being an extremely large area and with my time constraint, I was unfortunately unable to explore and appreciate the prefectures fully. I would love to go back and explore some more.
After all, what can quench a traveller’s wanderlust?

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles.

Visit the Stavropoleos Monastery and Cotroceni Palace by Cryptocurrency hotel booking at XcelTrip

Image
Cotroceni Palace This palace has a fascinating history. It began as a monastery in the 17th century, after which it became the summer residence of King Carol I. Constructed from 1888-93 at the behest of Romania's first king, Carol I, Cotroceni Palace has since 1991 been the official residence of the Romanian President. Built on the site of a former monastery (the foundations and cellars of which remain, and form part of the tour of the palace), the palace was designed by a French team of architects, led by Paul Gottereau. The design would form something of a blueprint for Romanian domestic architecture for years to come. It served as the Bucharest residence of the Romanian royal family until 1939. The part that serves today as the president's office, and official home, however, was added after the great Bucharest earthquake of 1977, and bears the stamp of local architect Nicolae Vladescu. Part of the palace is open to the public, and can be visited on a tour.
