1.TOKYO DISNEYLAND

‘To all of you who come to this happy place, welcome. Here you will discover enchanted lands of Fantasy and Adventure, Yesterday and Tomorrow. And may this magical kingdom be an enduring symbol of the spirit of cooperation and friendship between the great nations of Japan and the United States of America.” — E. Cardon Walker, April 15, 1983(a top executive at Walt Disney Productions in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s).

 Tokyo disneyland  was the first Disney park to be built outside the United States, and it opened on 15 April 1983. ] It is owned by The Oriental Land Company, which licenses the theme from The Walt Disney Company.

The park has seven themed areas: the World Bazaar; the four traditional Disney lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland; and two mini-lands: Critter Country and Mickey's Toontown.

In 2017, Tokyo Disneyland hosted 16.6 million visitors, making it the world's third-most visited theme park.

2.Mount Fuji

 Located on Honshū, is the highest mountain in Japan. It is an active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–1708.

Mount Fuji's snow-capped for about 5 months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.

3. HIMEJI CASTLE

Himeji Castle is a hilltop Japanese castle  which is located in the Hyōgo Prefecture of Japan. The castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture, comprising a network of 83 buildings with advanced defensive systems from the feudal period.The castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō or Shirasagi-jō ("White Egret Castle" or "White Heron Castle") because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.

Himeji Castle's construction dates to 1333.For over 400 years, Himeji Castle has remained intact, even throughout the extensive bombing of Himeji in World War II, and natural disasters such as the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.

Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country.
