Embedded like prized jewels in the Pacific Ocean is the island of Japan—a land of historic legacy, ceaseless innovation, resilience, and perseverance. A country with sacred shrines and bustling cities where the world looks for technological advancements and spiritual answers alike.

Be it the gliding peak of Mount Fuji, cloaked in a white sheet of snow, or the underwater wonders of the Osaka Aquarium, Japan’s unique ability to merge its world to form new astonishing wonders is displayed. In Tokyo, mingle with the locals, shop at Nakamise Shopping Street, or step into the relaxing atmosphere of Asakusa Kannon Temple. In Japan, you can satisfy your thirst for unprecedented experiences by gliding across the serene Lake Ashi or taking a stroll through the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. If these aren’t unique enough, make your way to sumo training grounds.

After a tiring day of experiencing the optical wonders that became a muse for generations of artists, help yourself to some culture-defining culinary delights like sushi, ramen, and grilled bits of takoyaki. Shopping could be an endless expedition with souvenirs ranging from cute figurines to Samurai swords, graphic novels to traditional art, and useful stationery to souvenirs.
