Visit Japan and experience for yourself centuries of tradition mixed with the very latest in modern and high tech. Japan is home to many ancient temples and shrines, both Buddhist and Shinto, as well as many castles and historic towns. Two of the many preserved towns that can be visited are Kyoto and Kanazawa, where many examples of traditional architecture can be seen. Experience many of the different festivals, join in a traditional tea ceremony and see the local crafts at work. There are just a few things that can be done while experiencing the culture and history of Japan. There are also many museums and gardens where one can get insight into Japan’s rich heritage and appreciate the many examples of art that can be found. The quiet rural villages and towns are in stark contrast to the bustling cities but both provide plenty of opportunities to see and experience all that Japan has to offer. A country where history, religion and modern life and culture all sit comfortably together in perfect harmony.
