Japan in a nutshell

Japan

The Land of the Rising Sun is situated on the eastern edge of the Asian continent. Japan is a country steeped in tradition and with a unique culture, where modern pop culture meets ancient traditions.

Japan is an archipelago comprising four main islands – Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku – and many other smaller islands.

As it stretches over 3,800 km from north to south, you’ll experience both temperate landscapes with harsh winters and pleasant summers, and subtropical regions with mild winters and hot summers.

Japan will captivate lovers of megacities, endless densely forested mountains, beaches and ski slopes.
