Best place to go on holiday to in Japan?

Question:

Konnichiwa :)

A few days ago my family was discussing going to Japan for a holiday, and I was wondering, where abouts is the best place to go? Preferably somewhere with scenic sites, but also somewhere with a nice town or city centre which has activities to do in the evening perhaps.

I'd be really thankful if you gave some advice on the closest place to that - thanks! :)

Answer:

If you are looking for somewhere with scenic sites, there isn't anywhere better to go that Kyoto. Situated just a few hours outside of Tokyo by bullet train, Kyoto was largely spared bombing during World War 2. Therefore, most of it's 2000 temples, shrines, and palaces are old, unlike most of what you will see in Japan. Kyoto is definitely worth a few days of your time.
