Gay vacations: Japan
There are many different gay vacations Japan, but not all of them could fit below. There are just a few, and by no means is this list extensive, but this is to help you get started on your way to picking the greatest gay vacation you have ever been on!
Gay vacations Japan: Tokyo
Tokyo is the capital of Japan, but it is also the capital of Japans gay night life. Tokyo is easily the most popular tourist destination of all of Japan, but that doesn’t that it’s not also a great gay vacation spot. For starters, there are well over 1,500 gay bars in the gay neighbourhood, which stands to reason that it is a pretty bit gay neighbourhood. Take your time and go exploring, but be aware that, with this many clubs, there are bound to be some fetish clubs that you will not like, and some that cater exclusively for gay women. Look online first to find out which club or bar you want to attend, and which you will feel comfortable skipping. If you’re after a trendy and modern vacation of Japan, Tokyo is the place for you.
Gay vacations Japan: Kyoto
If you’re more of a laid-back person, who enjoys getting up early to see the sunset from a new position every day, then Kyoto is the place for you. Kyoto has a smaller gay community than that of Tokyo, and it is influenced by the surrounding culture. Characterised by ancient shrines and monument, the only problem you will have in Kyoto is finding time to visit everything. There are many places where you can attend a traditional tea ceremony and be entertained by the Geishas, so you will always have something to do.
If you have never been on an international gay vacation, you might want to look at places that are endorsed by the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association. The IGLTA have a list of gay friendly hotels, cities, and travel agents, so you don’t have to worry about walking into the wrong neighbourhood with your partner.
