country

Japan is an island archipelago in East Asia consisting of four main islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu) and nearly 4,000 smaller islands. With a perfect blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge modernity, Japan offers visitors a uniquely diverse experience. The country's varied landscape includes everything from snow-capped mountains, including the iconic Mount Fuji, to pristine beaches and bustling metropolitan cities. Japan's rich cultural heritage is reflected in its thousands of temples and shrines, traditional arts like tea ceremony and calligraphy, and distinctive cuisine recognized globally for its quality and presentation. Despite being a relatively small nation, Japan boasts 25 UNESCO World Heritage sites, numerous hot springs (onsen), and spectacular seasonal displays like cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. The country's efficient transportation system, including the famous bullet trains (Shinkansen), makes it easy for travelers to explore everything from the ultramodern cityscape of Tokyo to the traditional temples of Kyoto.
