A new list of top destinations in Japan

Japan-guide.com shows their Japan's Top 10 Destinations by their most visited by users.
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e623a.html

However, this list seems to be somewhat biased toward larger cities. It would be likely to be affected by the easiness to visit there.

Here I introduce an excellence indicator of the sites.

Japan-guide.com provides four statistics in What To See sections of their nine regions of Japan.

http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1107.html
http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1108.html
http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1109.html

The four statistics are 1: japan-guide rating, 2: user rating, 3: votes by users, and 4: visited by users. On Jan 25, 2016, Japan-guide.com nominates 181 sites, however, one of the popular site Izumo lacks the second and the third statistics. So far, Izumo was visited by 273 users. Thus, I limit the sites visited by more than 273 users, resulting 92 destinations left for a further evaluation.

Here I regard the former two to be related to the excellence of the sites, while the latter two to be the easiness. For a better statistics, I add the former two to be an excellence indicator, and the latter two to be an easiness. I sort the sites each by the excellence and the easiness, and rate them respectively. Then, I add the resulting rates and sort them again with its summed value and set another new rate to be an e&e indicator.

The followings are results of e&e, excellence, easiness rates of the 92 destinations. Now the 9th easiest destination Nagoya is ranked as the 56th (excellence: 77th), while the 81th easiest Alpine Route gets the 27th (excellence: 8th).

I believe this list would be useful especially for first-timers to Japan. As Okinawa is a bit far, the top 7 would be one of the best set of Japan and all of the 7 are covered by this itinerary by Japan-guide.com:

Here I list raw values that were calculated like below.

Definition 1: A japan-guide.com's rating is converted as a value v1, such as 3 red dots to be v1=3. No dot is regarded to be v1=0.

Def 2: A percent of user votes to be a v2, such as 97% to be v2=97. No data is regarded to be v2=0.

Def 3: A number of user votes to be a v3, such as 5,009 votes to be v3=5,009. No data is regarded to be v3=0.

Def 4: A number of visited users to be a v4, such as 9,991 visits to be v4=9,991.

Procedure 1: v12 = v1 + v2

Pro 2: v34 = v3+v4

Pro 3: A rank r12 is assigned to a value v12. v12 and v34 are not dependent each other. In order to highlight v12's nature of excellence, do an descending sort for v1, then v2 (descending), v3 (ascending), v4 (ascending), v34 (ascending), and finally v12 (descending). Now the rank r12 is assigned to v12.

Pro 4: Similar sorts, taking account of different statistical weights, v1 (ascending), v2 (ascending), v3 (descending), v4 (descending), v12 (ascending), and finally v34 (descending). A rank r34 is now assigned to v34.

Pro 5: r1234 = r12 + r34

Pro 6: Limit the completeness to be full data entries. An entry with the largest v4=v4* and v2=v3=0 (no data) is regarded to be incomplete. Limit the data sets that should have v4 larger than v4*. Mark c4=y that have v4 larger than v4*.

Pro 7: Excellence oriented sorting by r34(descending), r12(descending) and finally r1234(descending). Extract the listing down to just before the first no c4=y mark.

Very interesting and good work, Luis!

I'm always slightly surprised by how high up the rankings Kobe features, especially compared with many of the lower placed locations.

I wonder what makes Kobe so interesting to (foreign) visitors. Personally, I feel that there's little there to appeal so any Kobe lovers reading this, please do let me know your thoughts!

Thanks, Saru Bob, though the following rates Kobe a bit better...

The excellence indicator v12 seems to weakly anti-correlate with the easiness indicator v34. Probably, users visited a harder place would have a better impression on that site to compensate its hardness to get there.

Now I incorporate this effect in Procedures 3 - 5. All the sorts are done in descending order, getting r12*, r34*, and r1234*.

Statistically, Izumo could come up just after Furano. This third list is somewhat similar to the first one. I could say the second one would be somewhat biased to country side, while the third and (incomplete) first ones to city side.

Now I have decided to go into Izumo's page and used the four statistics there.
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5830.html
And I have adopted stepped ranks to avoid any biases related ascending/descending sorts. Any stepped rank does not increase as far as its value is the same. Procedures 3 and 4 give stepped ranks s12 and s34. Procedure 5 gives the final rank ss1234 based on its value of s1234=s12+s34. Here the results of a longer list. Now Ginzan Onsen is the limit of no data. Note Miyajima and Nara rated as the same rank in this list. Izumo Taisha comes the 32nd.

@Saru Bob: personally, I liked Kobe a lot when I went there for a day in October. Mount Rokko and the ropeway offer great views (when the weather is good), Kitano is an interesting area (be sure to stop at the Austria House for cake and a nice glass of wine), I found the sake breweries in Nada intersting, and Meriken Park with Kobe Tower is worth a visit as well. Generally, I found the city quite laid back and nice.

Interesting ranking. I hope Japan-guide will bring back their visible rankings of both destinations and sites.

I agree that Kobe's rating is super inflated compared to what it actually is. It's essentially a duller version of Yokohama. I don't think it's worth its red dot and as I said, 81% is super high. I would have estimated it at 74% if I had not already known the rating.

But that's why it's important not to look at ratings and consider your own interests. Also, some city ratings don't match up with the site ratings. Fukui rates low as a destination, yet its rated sites are at 83% and 81% (the other three were added just a month or two ago). Where the descrepancy lies is difficult to say. Only Ichijodani (currently unrated) is actually in Fukui City, so that could be one reason. People rate "Fukui" based on their thoughts on the city rather than the amalgamation of the sites within.

Saitama is similar, most likely because of Tokyo snobs who want to perpetuate the image that Saitama is lame and foreigners who want to be "in" with Tokyoites. The Railway Museum, Bonsai Village, and Hikawa Shrine make for a nice daytrip with each site being quite unique and different from the others. It's definitely better than a 67%!

I'll have to read your list carefully, but as an observation many visitors only get to go to a few places and do not have the ability to compare the relative merits of different places, simply because they don't know. This results in many "attractions" being hugely over-rated when there are actually better places to go, but someone on a week or two will not get to see the contrasts.

For people that do have the chance to explore a lot, there are some great insights and places to visit. But the country is large and rich, and I still have many places to go.

I also like Saitama and the railway museum, but sometimes it depends on what people are interested in. Waiting for the reopening on the excellent train museum in Kyoto (late April).

Is "easiness" the right word here? It sounds to me like "easy access" and then finding Kawasaki at the bottom of the list is really weird. The Doraemon museum is immensely popular among travelers from south-east Asia, but it seems they do not visit Japan-Guide because with its data of 50 visits (currently) the museum looks like a very minor destination which it isn't.

I completely agree with Rabbityama. Also Fukui would have better ratings if its easily accessible sites were listed (particularly Tsuruga and the entire Wakasa region, which would appeal to a foreign traveler with their rural beauty much more than a dinosaur museum, I believe).

JapanCustomTours: I'm not so sure about the overrated ratings. Personally, I rate everything with at least 4 stars. As you said, the country is rich, it's really hard to find a truly bad spot!

As Izumo had hidden Izumo Taisha Shrine, I have decided to check all the entries with What To See sections. The results are shown at the bottom.

This listing is highly depended on japan-guide.com (what is selected as a single entry, when the entry is opened...), users (who voted for the entry; history lovers or nature lovers, coming from tropical area or cooler countries,...), and me (two axis algorithm; excellence and easiness, promising or popular, or whatever, when the data were retrieved...).

One's interest should be different each other, so this is a mere people-averaged time-integrated indicator. But I was happy when I found my unfamiliar places in the list. And it may also be usable for scheduling. If some site appears before its destination, one might choose a day trip to visit only top places there. From the top, depending the time one has, one could try to stay in Kyoto, Tokyo, Miyajima, do a day trip to Hiroshima, Nara, change the day trip to an overnight at Nara, a day trip to Himeji,... and so on.
