Go beyond the city with these awesome day trip destinations.
In Japanese folklore, the term “yokai” refers to a broad class of supernatural beings and phenomena like monsters, ghosts, demons, and spirits. The word comes from the kanji yo, meaning attractive or bewitching, and kai, which means mystery or wonder.

Fukuoka may not have as many attractions as some of the more popular destinations in Japan but it is home to one of the busiest international airports in the country. This makes it a prime entryway into the island of Kyushu and a convenient base for day trips.
There’s always something going on in Tokyo, but if you’d like to go beyond the city’s limits, then there are many excellent destinations you can go to on day trips.
