Aizawl to Japan

Aizawl stands tall on a ridge, which is bounded by the valley of the Tlawng River on its eastern side and a range of high craggy hills of Durtlang on the north. Serving as the capital of Mizoram, this remote Indian city is speckled with a good number of natural as well as man-made attractions. A number of accommodation options, in addition to roadways and airports for better transportation, have been suitably developed; thereby, making it an ideal hill station for spending vacations. Popular villages like Ruantlang, Falkawn, and Sairung are the best places where tourists can pay visits and get a detailed insight of the unique culture and lifestyle of the Mizos. Cultural Sub-Centre, Luangmual Handicrafts Centre and Berawtlang Tourist Complex are the most popular cultural attractions of the city. An ideal place for nature lovers here is the Mini Zoological Garden, where one can catch a glimpse of several common and rare species of mammals and birds. Those who want to get indulged in shopping while travelling Aizawl can head to Bara Bazar- a bustling marketplace that is quite popular in the whole state. Tourists can also plan for exciting recreation jaunts in places like Reiek Tourist Resort, Phawngpui Hills, Dampa, Vantawng Waterfall, Kolasib and Champhai.

Japan’s well-preserved culture, with traditions in innate welcoming nature of the people, gift-giving, temple-going and bathing is still strong today, set against backdrops of snow-covered mountains, futuristic cities, ancient temples, islands and forests scattered along a 3,000km archipelago. Highlight of any visit includes the ancient art of the Japanese tea ceremony to sushi etiquette, and from Gion, Kyoto's geisha district, to enlightening walks along the Golden Route, following in the footsteps of samurai warriors. A timeless place where the speed of new technological developments is matched by the longevity of its ancient customs. Get around town in the shinkansen (bullet train). Meditate with monks or learn how to whisk bitter matcha (powdered green tea) into a froth. Tokyo, a huge metropolis offers quirky experiences and amazing food. Kyoto is packed with history, important temples, gorgeous architecture and a charming atmosphere. The stunning Temple of Golden Pavilion in Kyoto with garden setting and the Osaka Castle are must see. Hakone, a peaceful retreat at the footsteps of Mt. Fuji provides a chance to relax in an onsen (hot spring bath) and sleep in a ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn). The country is swathed in natural beauty; ski the powdery slopes of Hokkaido, revel in the springtime beauty of the ‘Sakura’ cherry blossoms or frolic at the sun kissed beaches. Wherever you go, great food is guaranteed. From fresh sushi and sashimi to charcoal fired meats and sizzling sauces, Japan is a joy for gastronomes.
