With Japan fully reopening to international tourism this fall, a trip to Tokyo is long overdue. Simply wandering around the city's neighborhoods—from the bright lights of Shinjuku to the arcades of Akihabara and the shop-lined streets of Harajuku—is one of the best things you can do to get a lay of the land and stumble upon great sights. Dating back to the seventh century, Senso-ji is Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple, and is a requisite stop on any Japan itinerary. If you want to go shopping, you can hit up designer stores and high-end boutiques in Omotesando, and find any and all electronics in Akihabara.
As you might've heard, Tokyo is home to more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city in the world—212 as of 2021. However, if you're looking for top restaurants in Tokyo, you don't (necessarily) need to dine someplace expensive or difficult to get into. When ordering sushi, order "omakase" at least once, which is the chef's hand-picked selection, something that can typically be pretty expensive to do outside of Japan.
Tusheti is one of Georgia's most remote hiking regions, an adventurous destination high in the Caucasus Mountains, in a country already well off the beaten track. This is a land of extremes, and for six months of the year, Tusheti is entirely cut off from the rest of the world. For the other six months, the only way in or out is over the perilous 9,350-foot-high Abano Pass. Traveling to Tusheti's isolated villages is all part of the challenge—brave the roads, and you'll be greeted by epic mountain scenery and humbling homestays in this untamed corner of Georgia.
