Japan
We are all very familiar with Japan’s famous exports – cars, electronics, video games, and the sushi restaurants that have sprung up just about everywhere. But just below the surface of what we know is one of the world’s most engaging and culturally rewarding destinations. Experience vibrant Tokyo, and then the calm and peacefulness found in the many beautiful temples and shrines of Kyoto. The Japanese have a deep love of nature, from the fragile and oh so short-lived cherry blossoms that bloom in the Spring, to the mighty snow-capped Mount Fuji. Stay in a deluxe hotel or traditional Japan inn or ryokan, participate in a tea ceremony, learn about traditional crafts, take a dip in the relaxing thermal waters of a hot spring, or delight in sampling delicious Japanese cuisine and local specialties throughout your stay. Now we are just scratching the surface. There is truly no shortage of things to do, see, and experience in Japan.
