Secret Spots Japan

The places that never make the guidebooks. Secret Spots Japan is a hand-picked guide to hidden gems across Japan. Browse restaurants, coffee shops, bars, nature, viewpoints, wellness, craft, museums, activities and Divine places chosen by our team. Verified means we have visited. Scouted means we have researched the place and want to visit and share it. Every spot carries one of these labels. Explore Osaka, Gifu, Kyoto, Shiga and Tokyo, with more being added each release. Browse by prefecture and area, choose your mood to order places by your interests, save spots for your next trip, and open Google Maps directions. Sakyo Ward in Kyoto and Shirotori in Gifu are free while we build, with no account needed. Sign in to save spots. Unlock the other prefectures with a one-time in-app purchase: each pack unlocks every spot in that prefecture. The store shows your local price before you confirm. No ads. No sponsored listings.
