INTRODUCTION
Japan is one of the countries of Asia, the eastern edge of the world. Unlike most countries in the world that are multiethnic and have neighboring countries, Japan is a racially homogeneous nation, which is very uncommon. One of the priceless aspects of Japan is that the land is surrounded by the sea. Turning this to account, Japan has developed its own culture by adopting a lot of great items and attributes from the neighboring countries.
Japan is a country that always turns on its charm with different enticements throughout the year. You can enjoy completely different views in the same place; you will see cherry blossoms in the spring, the beautiful ocean along with plants springing fresh and green in the summer, autumn leaves in the fall, and snow in the winter.
Generally speaking, Japanese people are light-handed and serious-minded. They trust people and are very good at keeping their promises. Hence, they are often said to be good-natured and honest. However, although they may be light-handed, they are quite clumsy. Still, Japanese have a diligent spirit. Despite the fact that Japan had gone through a lot of disasters and wars, Japanese were able to restore their country a number of times with their diligent effort.

Traditional
Culture
Many aspects of Japan's current cultures have been originally introduced from the neighboring Asian countries.Japanese is a unique language that the writing system consists of three different character sets: Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. While incorporating influences from the countries around, Japan has developed its own culture. Even now, important cultural properties remain in each city of Japan. You can enjoy the cultural assets not only in the famous ancient capitals such as Kyoto and Nara but in the metropolitan region where modern buildings are standing side by side with the old historic castles. Although there is no longer any Samurai or Ninja, but the spirit of the Samurai, who stride forward with their hearts full of faith, still remains in the hearts of the Japanese people.
Food
“Washoku” is basically what represents Japanese cuisine. “Washoku” has recently been registered on the list of UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). Thanks to the four distinct seasons, mountains and oceans in Japan, you can enjoy the delicious food made from seasonal ingredients, and such a variety of colorful and vivid ingredients make Washoku look more delicious. Washoku dishes include Sushi, Soba, Tempura, Sukiyaki and so forth. Teishoku, a Japanese set meal, is recommended if you want to have a light meal. We also highly recommend you to try Western dishes arranged in Japan. style such as Omelette, Napolitan, Hayashi-rice, Doria, Gratin, and Hamburg steak. You will encounter a whole new taste of European and American cuisines
The Four Seasons
One of the reasons why there are so many tourists who revisit Japan is that you can experience four distinct seasons. You can enjoy the same place in a completely different way depending on which season you visit. It also captivating that you can experience a variety of fascinating faces of nature, such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, in the short period of each season. Please savor the awe and beauty of the limited-time scenery that can be only enjoyed at each season.
Besides the natural features, there are many other things to enjoy the four seasons of Japan such as gourmet and sports. Even Sushi is seasonal; which types of fish are used depends on the season. Isn’t it hard to believe that Sanma(Pacific saury) triumphs over the rich fatty tuna in the fall, its peak season?
Cities
The size of Japan is very small, and yet the small island is packed with a variety of unique towns. It's a small country, so you can visit as many places as you want in a short time. Japan has a highly developed transportation system, including the bullet train, Shinkansen. In the capital city, Tokyo, there are Kabukicho, the largest entertainment district in Japan, the Tokyo Tower, which served as a symbol of Japan's post-war rebirth after World War II, Tokyo Sky Tree, another symbolic tower that represents the Heisei Era, Kaminarimon, the outer gate of Sensoji Temple, Akihabara, the mecca of Japanese subculture and Shinbashi, popular playground for hordes of white-collar workers. Japan is certainly a country that “preserves the old, but know the new”.

But...
High accomodation costs
Prices in Japan tend to be a little more expensive than other countries, and the lodging expenses are no exception. Recently, there have been private houses available for accomodation at a much lower cost compared to hotels. However, hotels in Japan are still among the most expensive in world that there are many people out there who would definitely visit Japan if the accommodation expenses were lower.
Difficult to make reservations
There are a lot of popular facilities in Japan such as hotels and gourmet restaurants. However, even Japanese living in Japan fail to book those popular places. Furthermore, those who visit Japan for the first time wouldn’t even know how to make reservations in the first place.
Language problems
Japan’s official language is Japanese. There are some places that English is not understood at all. Yet, more and more translators and devices that are configured to support multiple languages are being featured in those places that are listed in travel guidebooks. Still, there is not enough number of clerks who speak English in Japan. It would be nice if the visitors could enjoy the trip without any stress derived from language barrier.
