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.
