History comes alive in Lexington and Concord
It’s hard to separate the towns of Lexington and Concord, as they are forever linked by their shared past. History was made here on April 19,1975, when the colonial militia and minutemen, determined to protect and defend their homes and farms, challenged the British Redcoats, called “Regulars.” Their efforts led to a series of skirmishes, which became known as the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

Discover hidden gems when you go off the beaten path with Oku Japan
First time visitors to Japan typically have Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara on their list, as these cities are well-known and contain many cultural and historic attractions. Other popular destinations include Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and Mt. Fuji. These places are all located on the main island of Honshu. If you’re a return traveler to the country, however, you’ll probably want to explore different areas on Honshu or perhaps head to one of the other islands like Kyushu, Shikoku or Hokkaido. In any case, you most likely have the desire to go deeper into Japan and get away from heavily touristed spots.
