JAPAN
–
Endless Discovery!
Located in the Far East, Japan is an archipelago of four major islands, surrounded by more than 4,000 smaller islands. Japan features rugged coastlines with varied scenery, towering mountains and twisted valleys that invite visitors into the mysterious world of Japan’s stunning nature.
Just close enough to mainland Asia, yet far enough to stay separate, much of Japanese history has seen alternating periods of closure and openness. The “Land of the Rising Sun” is a country where the past meets the future. Its culture stretches back millennia, yet has adopted and created the latest modern fashions and trends. Japan is the land of landscape gardening and the tea ceremony, but it’s also the unofficial king of pop culture.
Japanese cuisine, renowned for its emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients, has taken the world by storm. It is an epicurean’s paradise both in the scale and quality of its own food and in the scope of its dining imports.
One of Japan’s most compelling attributes is its people, who are legendary for their honesty, politeness, hospitality, and kindness to visitors. Many Japanese are thrilled to have visitors to their country and will often go out of their way to assist foreign visitors.
In short, Japan is a fantastic destination with an incredible variety to offer: rich traditions, splendid national parks, great hospitality, gourmet cuisine, and so much more. The sky’s the limit when it comes to experiencing Japan. The possibilities are endless!
