For the first-time visitor, Japan is
not easy to comprehend. On the one hand, its modern technologies, from sleek cars
to electronic gadgets, prove that this nation is truly on the cutting
edge.
Yet Japanese culture is also rooted deeply in ancient
traditions drawn from years of isolation.
You'll find intricate paper art
and flower arrangements next to the latest in mobile phone technology. You
might see hardcore businessmen, fresh from their latest deal, at a
teahouse enjoying the songs of a geisha.
Japan is an unique synthesis
of east and west, and there is something new to discover around every
corner. Our special section on the Land of the Rising Sun will take you to
Hiroshima and Hokkaido, then to the geisha district of Gion in traditional
Kyoto. Finally, we offer a stunning photo tour through Japan, a
destination that
is sure to keep you coming back for more. |
