Japan Travel Guide - Travel to Japan
Travel to Japan - Why visit Japan? In addition to Mount Fuji, exquisite gardens, memorials for war and peace, shrines and temples, and the famed cherry blossoms, travelers to Japan can shop for the latest electronics, ride bullet trains, watch sumo wrestling and find the latest manga. In short, they can watch the country blend thousands of years of tradition with technology and the future. Japan’s cultural attractions include palaces, historic sites, traditional crafts and Kabuki theater. Popular travel destinations in Japan include Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka and the many temples, such as Todaiji Temple in Nara.
When to visit Japan? The Japanese are proud of their four seasons, but the traveler with a flexible travel schedule should aim for spring or autumn. And avoid traveling to Japan the first week of January, last week of April/first week of May, in late July or early August. These are major holiday periods when there are many closings and public transportation is fully booked.
