The "Land of the
Rising Sun" is a country where the past meets the future.
Japanese culture stretches back millennia, yet has also
adopted (and created) the latest modern fashions and trends.
Japan has
beautiful temples and gardens which are often surrounded by
garish signs and ugly buildings. In the middle of a modern
skyscraper you might discover a sliding wooden door which
leads to a traditional chamber with tatami mats,
calligraphy, and tea ceremony. These juxtapositions mean you
may often be surprised and rarely bored by your travels in
Japan. |
