Japan

Travel to a world of unprecedented variety and deeply-entrenched culture - Japan's history and people date as far back as the 1st century AD; ots spiritual history, friendly nature, unique cuisine and its ancestrally influenced art are just a few of the qualities that make this country a phenomenal place to visit - to witness a truly time-honoured place unlike any other in the world. With a blend of natural beauty and cosmopolitan cities, Japan has something for everyone. Explore Mount Fuji and peaceful Japanese gardens. Traverse the rugged Japanese Alps and travel on a famed bullet train. Delve into Japan's ancient history in Kyoto and go for a walk in Tokyo to witness the frenetic but pleasant vibe of this city. By the end of your journey you'll begin to realise the power of a culture that is hard-working, fun-loving, but deeply rooted in tradition and influenced by a peace that seems to be channeled by their ancestors. It's a true wonder.
