Few people in the modern world are not affected in some way by the ideas, culture and economy of Japan. Japan is a uniquely adaptable country where tradition and modernity is a perfect match. Kyoto, the old imperial capital, is typical, with many monuments and heritage sites preserved within a lively modern city. Japan��s current capital, Tokyo, is one of the world��s most exciting cities, with the liveliest neon-sign districts, along with places of carefully arranged beauty and tranquility.

A glimpse of Japan
Why Japan

Japan has always been a popular destination for tourism. The main reason is that the country has a special quality created from a magical mixture of traditional heritages, lively cities, and breathtaking landscapes.
Japan offers a chance to immerse yourself in a new culture, because here you can not only visit incredible ancient castles, temples and shrines, but can also become involved personally by preparing sushi at a local home, sampling finger food at a local market lined with hundreds of shops and stalls, enjoying a cup of matcha tea and Japanese sweets at a teahouse, and learning how to make traditional handicrafts.
