Japan is a land of diversity and contradictions with a unique, somewhat mysterious culture. It is a place where you will find ancient temples, shrines and customs cherished and unchanged for over thousand years, as well as cutting edge technology and trendsetting architecture. Visitors will be amazed by the courteous and warm way travellers are welcomed and the delicacy of Japanese food and art. Although in Japan the majority of the population lives in vibrant contemporary cities like Tokyo, Yokohama and Osaka, historical places like Kamakura, Kyoto and Nikko are always close. The Japanese archipelago consists of thousands of islands that are often densely forested and mountainous. Situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire the highly volcanic activity in the region has shaped over time stunning landscapes with many natural wonders to discover. Marc Popelier's frequent visits to Japan and life-long interest in the country and culture have crystallised into the pages of this book. It is a perfect introduction to Japan and will surely tempt anyone to visit this fascinating country.
