Why Visit Japan?
Japan is a country of contrasts - where futuristic cities and centuries-old traditions coexist side by side. This fusion of old and new has put Japan on plenty of travellers' wish lists, desperate to see this bewildering blend for themselves. While Tokyo is like a bright, neon scene from a sci-fi blockbuster, it can be a surprise to find such peace and serenity outside hectic urban areas. Nevertheless, Japan’s great outdoors is as epic as its 24 hour cities, with experiences that range from skiing in Hokkaido to swimming in the tropical waters of Okinawa.
