Japan is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean with dense cities, imperial palaces, mountainous national parks and thousands of shrines and temples. Glistening metropolises of neon lights, tropical beaches to the south, breathtaking snow-capped mountains to the north, with countless adventures and experiences to undertake in between; Japan is also a country of great richness and diversity, with many different faces, traditions, cultures and experiences; a land full of endless discoveries for you to uncover.

Best time to visit: Late spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are generally the best times to visit Japan. What's more, the delicate cherry blossom of spring and vivid hues of autumn leaves are visually stunning.
