Japan

Lying off the east coast of Asia, Japan consists of a string of islands in a northeast-southwest curve that stretches for approximately 2,400 km through the western North Pacific Ocean. Nearly the entire land area is taken up by the country’s four main islands namely Hokkaido, Honshu (the largest island), Shikoku, and Kyushu.

Japan is master of both modernity and history. It is a country that seemingly effortlessly embraces its futuristic ideals while holding fast to its captivating tradition.  In one trip you can experience iconic neon-lit cities that never sleep, visit bustling markets and peaceful ancient temples, and admire the exquisite mountain scenery of the Japanese countryside.
