Combining the most traditional of societies with the latest conquest of technique, Japan is the rising sun land of wonders with beautiful ancient Buddhist temples and modern sky liners, peaceful sand gardens and trashy night clubs, Shinto shrines and noisy beer festivals.
There’s something here from everyone, from the majestic Mount Fuji to the hot springs of Beppu, from the ski slides in Hokkaido to the neon lighted high-fashion districts of Tokyo.
Whether you indulge in a late light dinner with sushi and sake, watch a Kabuki theatre performance, cheer in a Sumo match or celebrate spring in a cherry blossom festival, Japan is an experience you will never forget. |
