JAPAN TRAVEL GUIDE - GENERAL INFORMATION

World Travel Guide Asia Japan General Information Sakura Sakura Sakura Woman in kimono Japan Picture choosen by: MissAshley Japan Overview The "Land of the Rising Sun”, Japan, known as Nihon or Nippon in Japanese, is an island nation in East Asia. Japan is the wealthy nation with culture stretches back millennia, yet has also adopted (and created) the latest modern fashions and trends.
Japan is a study in contrasts and contradictions. Many Japanese corporations dominate their industries, yet if you read the financial news it seems like Japan is practically bankrupt. Cities are as modern and high tech as anywhere else, but tumbledown wooden shacks can still be spotted next to glass fronted designer condominiums. On an average subway ride, you might see childishly cute character toys and incredibly violent pornography - sometimes enjoyed by the same passenger, at the same time! Japan has beautiful temples and gardens which are often surrounded by garish signs and ugly buildings. In the middle of a modern skyscraper you might discover a sliding wooden door which leads to a traditional chamber with tatami mats, calligraphy, and tea ceremony. These juxtapositions mean you may often be surprised and rarely bored by your travels in Japan.
