Japan: the one place that truly lives up to the travel writer’s cliché of the “land of contrasts.” You’ve heard it before, but trust us – there really is nowhere else quite like this whacky, idiosyncratic, and frequently beautiful place.
This collection of islands on the far edge of Asia packs some serious punch in its culture, scenery and history. From the electric buzz of Tokyo and Osaka to the historic lanes of Kyoto; the snowy mountains of Hokkaido to the tropical beaches of Okinawa; the perplexing 21st century countercultures to extreme reverence for tradition and fine ceremony… you get the idea. Travel writers might call other places a country of extremes, but only because they’ve not been to Japan yet.
The first thing you need to know is that Japan is surprisingly big – over a map of Europe it would stretch from the middle of France to Norway. But thanks to the famously fast and efficient railway network, you can fit a lot into a single trip to Japan. You’ll go from exploring the neon-lit streets of Tokyo one day to relaxing in an onsen hot spring the next; hiking in the Japanese Alps to skiing in Hokkaido; visiting the shrines of Kyoto to the harrowing memorials of Hiroshima.
