Where Japanese hotel condos and resort memberships are, and what each area is like.
- HakoneA classic onsen region near Tokyo, with Sengokuhara as its quieter highland district of art museums, pampas grass and milky hot springs.
- HakubaAn alpine valley in the Northern Japan Alps, with ten ski resorts on one pass and big-mountain summer hiking.
- IshigakiThe gateway to the Yaeyama Islands, with coral reefs, Kabira Bay and short ferry hops to Taketomi and the Iriomote rainforest.
- KaruizawaA cool, forested highland retreat about an hour from Tokyo by bullet train, long favoured by Tokyo's elite for summer villas.
- MiyakojimaA flat coral island ringed by famously clear water, linked by long bridges to smaller islands.
- NisekoHokkaido's powder-snow capital, with four linked resorts beneath Mt. Yotei and a growing summer scene.
- Okinawa Main IslandJapan's subtropical main island: resort beaches on the west coast, Ryukyu castles and craft villages, and US-influenced towns, all within about 90 minutes' drive of Naha.
