Japan

Wow - what a beautiful country! Japan is lush, green and friendly. If you enjoy the countryside with its beautiful vegetation, plus bustling cities with amazing people, then put Japan high on your “must see list”. The Japanese people are funny, helpful, industrious and fashion conscious. Japan’s history dates back several thousand years, and the Japanese have gone though several devastating wars, yet they have restored their National Treasures. The country is dotted with castles, gardens, palaces, shrines and temples. My personal favorite area of Japan is the City of Koyoto. Koyoto was Japan’s ancient capitol and contains numerous gardens and temples, plus a great shopping district as well as lots of night spots. The traditions of the Geisha are kept alive in Koyoto’s Gion district’s private clubs and ceremonies. Over 250 color photos of Japan.
