Japan

From the splendour of the cherry blossom festivals and geisha dances to the futuristic world of lights and sounds in Tokyo, Japan will fascinate and enchant you. Japan is a country of unique contrasts between ancient traditions and the ultra modern. While extremely polite by nature, Japanese people are also extremely warm and welcoming so you will be well looked after in this charming country.
