Attractions: The fascinating land of pink cherry blossoms, sushi and Manga
comics, Japan is a cultural explosion of attractions, neon-lit
cities and exquisite mountainous landscapes. Thankfully this
mystical country retains plenty of its oriental charm resulting in
an 'East meets West' experience of a lifetime. Head to the capital of Tokyo for a spot of shopping, sample
authentic Japanese sushi and maybe even enjoy a little karaoke.
With a myriad of ancient shrines and temples round just about every
corner in this dynamic city, it offers some excellent sightseeing
where both old and new world co-exist. Head south to the city of Hiroshima, the country's most famous
tourist attraction, where thousands of visitors make a pilgrimage
to Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, taking in the museums and
lively city that has emerged from its tragic past along the
way. Visit the vast countryside and marvel at the hundreds of
volcanoes scattered around it, take a dip in the hot springs and
explore the mountainous interior of the islands. Parks are
punctuated with cherry blossom trees and mathematically correct Zen
gardens never cease to amaze foreigners.
