Home of the lightening fast bullet train, historical temples, shrines and vending machines selling just about everything. Modern it may be,
but Japan retains much of its mystical oriental charm, from the etiquette demanded in social situations, to the minimalist décor behind rice paper screens. The culture is alive and well, which makes a visit to Japan a fascinating experience.
Best time to travelIt varies dramatically from the north to the south. Consider April for the cherry blossoms as well as October and November, as it is mild and pleasant. September can be typhoon season.
