Highlights of Japan

Japan's capital is most commonly known as Tokyo, but legally, that has never been clearly defined. Kyoto is still legally the Japanese capital, but is not commonly recognized as such. It depends upon who you talk to and that is one fact that makes Japan a singular country to visit. Japan is also a country of extremes. Here you will find ancient temples and modern, forward-looking cities. Suited businessmen walk alongside traditional costumed geisha. Misty lush vegetation on rolling hills gives way to the excessive speed and modern invention of bullet trains carrying travelers into the great cities. Travel to Kyoto or Nara to take in the breathtaking temples, exquisite tea ceremonies, museums and to experience kabuki, the stylized, globally recognizable, national dance-drama. Travel to Yakushima to roam through the ancient cedars, inhaling their signature scent and then take a soak in one of the many hot springs. Iriomote-Jima offers a tropical jungle for exploration or dive into Manta Way. Hiroshima is a vibrant contemporary city with a tragic past, an emotional, yet important part of Japan's history that shouldn't be missed. Don't forget to schedule a trip to Matsuyama and soak in the historic Dogo Onson, a mono-alkaline spring that is believed to be especially restorative to those suffering the effects of rheumatism, neuralgia and hysteria. Follow the thousands of pilgrims before you as you visit each of the 88 Temples in the famous pilgrimage. Japan is all about contrasts, and you will be amazed at what you see!
