Allure of Japan

Allure of Japan

The ridge line of the majestic mountains and the wide panoramic view from the sea gradually changes before your eyes into a beautiful town. The scenery of Japan, hidden from view on land or in the air, is truly an unforgettable experience for those arriving after a long sea voyage. Japan's four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, as well as other outlying islands including Okinawa, stretch from north to south and are home to many unique images. Venture south from snowy Hokkaido and you will see cherry blossoms in Kyushu. Meanwhile, the four seasons of Japan are also fascinating. The melting snow on Mt. Fuji signifies the coming of spring and cherry blossoms. The summer rain and festival music is soothing and relaxing. The moon in autumn shines beautifully and soon gives way to winter with its picturesque snowy mountains. The heart of Japan beats in traditional festivals and historical imagery such as temples all across the country. The beauty of Japan lies in craftwork including textiles and pottery, and in the refined art of etiquette. Tradition and culture cultivated in a climate suitably known as 'Zipang', Land of Gold, awaits your arrival.
