Japan and South Korea are two of Asia's most rewarding destinations, and they sit just a short flight apart. Whether you are doing a two-country trip or choosing between them, here are the best places to visit in each ā all covered by a single eSIM.
Japan
Tokyo
A city of endless energy. Hit Shibuya Crossing, explore Asakusa and Senso-ji Temple, lose yourself in Shinjuku's neon lanes, and catch the skyline from Tokyo Skytree at night.
Kyoto
Japan's cultural heart. Walk the thousands of torii gates at Fushimi Inari, stroll the Arashiyama bamboo grove, and wander Gion's lantern-lit streets in search of maiko. Best in cherry blossom season (late March to early April) and autumn (November).
Osaka
Japan's food capital. Dotonbori is the place to eat takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu. Visit Osaka Castle, explore retro Shinsekai, and use the city as a base for day trips to Kyoto and Nara.
Hiroshima and Miyajima
A city of history and resilience. The Peace Memorial Museum is deeply moving, and a short ferry to Miyajima brings you to the iconic floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine, where deer roam freely.
Hakone and Mount Fuji
The best place to see Japan's most iconic mountain. Stay in a hot spring ryokan, ride the ropeway over volcanic vents, and catch Fuji reflected in Lake Kawaguchiko on a clear day.
South Korea
Seoul
Ancient palaces and a futuristic skyline in one city. Visit Gyeongbokgung Palace, explore Bukchon Hanok Village, eat your way through Myeongdong, and catch the view from N Seoul Tower at night.
Busan
Korea's coastal second city. Haeundae Beach, the colourful Gamcheon Culture Village, Jagalchi Fish Market, and Haedong Yonggungsa Temple perched dramatically on a sea cliff.
Jeju Island
A UNESCO island of volcanic landscapes. Hike Hallasan Mountain, climb Seongsan Ilchulbong for sunrise, explore Manjanggul lava cave, and relax at Hamdeok Beach.
Gyeongju
The ancient Silla Kingdom capital, known as the museum without walls. Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto, the Daereungwon royal tombs, and the magical Wolji Pond illuminated at night.
Nami Island and Gangwon-do
Nami Island's golden tree avenues are iconic in any season. Combine it with the Gangchon Rail Bike along the Bukhan River and a trip to Seoraksan National Park for dramatic mountain scenery.
