Japan
In all honesty, if you’re going to make the journey all the way to Japan, you should see more than just this city. But one destination you should particularly add to your “female solo travel” bucket list is Mt. Koyasan.
Located south of Osaka in the Wakayama Prefecture, just a five-hour bullet train away from Tokyo, this small town is gorgeous and offers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Here, you can stay overnight in a Buddhist temple, experiencing the traditional rituals the Japanese are known for. You’ll sleep on a traditional futon on the floor, and monks will deliver your vegetarian meals and sake directly to your room.
You can bathe in the traditional, shared baths and take a meditation class in the mornings. If you really want to re-discover yourself as a female solo traveler, this is the place to do it!
