J-Trip Plan

A 3-Day Trip around Tokyo's Neighboring Prefectures (2x4)

Air date: Feb 20, 2017

Our reporter escapes the bustle of Tokyo to discover Saitama, Kanagawa and Chiba Prefectures. His 3-day train trip starts in Saitama with a bonsai experience and a visit to 1,400-year-old ruins. Day 2, he travels to a fishing port in Kanagawa to savor the seafood. Before crossing Tokyo Bay to Chiba, he tries on sukajan - or souvenir jackets, which are admired in fashion circles - at Yokosuka. Day 3, he prays at a temple on a cliff then travels to a peninsula to admire the Pacific Ocean. Reporter: Joel Dickerson
