Question
I’m planning a trip to Japan and I would love to visit some historical landmarks while I’m there. I’d like to know how to ask “Can you recommend any historical sites to visit?” in Japanese if I’m talking to a local or someone at a tourist information center.

Osusume no rekishiteki na kankouchi o oshiete kudasai.
Can you recommend any historical sites to visit?
This phrase is handy when you want suggestions for historical sites to explore. “Osusume no” means “recommended”; “rekishiteki na” means “historical”; “kankouchi” means “sites” or “places to visit”; and “oshiete kudasai” means “please tell me” or “please teach me”.
Using this phrase can help you get local insights into some of the best historical spots, from ancient temples to historic districts, and enhance your travel experience in Japan.
