When summer vacation rolls around and you find yourself trapped in the stifling heat of Japan, there are still a number of places around the country to keep you cool and entertained in air-conditioned comfort. Some of the best destinations let you learn more about Japanese history and popular brands too, with plant and factory tours providing a unique insight into the workings of modern Japan. For ten of the best in the nation, we turn to the world’s largest travel review website, TripAdvisor, which recently published a list of top-ranked factory and “observation” tours, based on user reviews submitted to the site. Let’s take a look at the list, ranked in order from ten to one below.
