What are the best cities to visit in Japan besides Tokyo and Kyoto?

Pros

Pro
Unique culture and history

Since Okinawa was originally a separate country from Japan, Ishigaki is one of the best ways to explore Okinawan culture. There are unique food, phrases, and styles of dress visible all over the island.

Pro
'Hawaii' of Japan

The second-largest island in Okinawa, there are long strips of beaches all around the island.

Cons

Con
Need a car to get around

While there is a bus and some taxis, the more efficient way to get around is by car. Renting a car will mean added costs, but it offers the most freedom to fully explore the island.
