Outside of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, what places are you interested in visiting in Japan?

So, it’s a natural site? Or historic?

We are moving to simplify interactions on tabifolk and will be phasing out discussion forums in favor of activity posts. No more confusion of where and how to post!
Activity posts now allow titles and more formating options and are closer to what forum posts were like. It will also mean that replies won’t show up separately in your timeline…
