Michelin journey
The Michelin Guide is a world-renowned organization, and restaurants (red) are very famous and have the status of listed restaurants. Michelin also publishes a guidebook called the Green Guide that introduces tourist destinations.
In the first place, Michelin is a world-famous tire manufacturer, and is a high-quality tire manufacturer that supplies tires to F1 and even some manufacturers use them as standard on supercars.
The Izu Peninsula has been highly rated by the Michelin Green Guide. In the Kanto region, Yokohama and Hakone are rated one star (★), but the entire Izu Peninsula is rated two stars (★★). Mt. Fuji and Tokyo are rated 3 stars (★★★).
The 2-star rating (★★) means it's worth a detour, so I highly recommend taking a detour when traveling on the Golden Line between Tokyo and Kyoto!
We would appreciate it if you could arrange the course to coincide with cherry blossom viewing and festivals in each region. Please enjoy not only hot spring inns from around the country, but also local specialties and seasonal ingredients.
The purpose is to travel by car.
I feel that the purpose of both Michelin Red and Green is to help people travel by car by serving as guides. I think this is because having customers enjoy their car journeys will lead to sales for Michelin.
Red's guidebooks are famous these days, and many people don't know that they are a tire manufacturer.

There is no Japanese guidebook for Michelin! ?
The Michelin Guide Book is sold all over the world, but since it is a guidebook for overseas travelers, there is no Japanese version of the Michelin Guidebook.
Since people overseas are evaluating Japan's charm as perceived by them, there are also articles that make you think, ``Why?'' from an older Japanese perspective.
However, I think that this place is highly regarded from overseas as a place that is uniquely Japanese.
I also think that even young Japanese people who don't know much about Japanese history will enjoy this trip to experience Japan.
The book is not primarily about Japanese photographs, but is mostly about text. Print has the effect of expanding the imagination, so I feel that I can understand guidebooks that are mainly made up of print.
