Nagoya

Almost completely isolated from the rest of the world for centuries, and despite being a world-leading technological country, Japan has managed to preserve its rich cultural heritage. But in today’s almost borderless world, modern Japan is becoming more multicultural and open to foreign travellers. As soon as you step on the Japanese land, their kindness and politeness will overwhelm you. To soak the authenticity of amazing Japan, you should start your memorable journey by exploring the neon-lit futuristic Tokyo or vibrating and young-spirited Osaka. Then hop on the Shinkansen (bullet trains), which conveniently connect almost all the major cities in Japan, to reach the beautiful and carefully preserved countryside. From the snowy northern island of Hokkaido to the southernmost exotic prefecture of Okinawa, Japan’s long and narrow shape offers one of the world’s most diverse panel of landscapes. And don’t forget to try some of the best and most surprising food on the planet while you discover a culture of thousand shapes, reflected in its splendid temples, castles, and hidden places where time seems to have stopped.
