Japan is a land of incredible diversity, modern yet steeped in custom, and home of the friendliest of welcomes. A country of blazing neon lights and rugged mountains, coasts and valleys.

Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture. On the one hand it is steeped in the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years, on the other it is a society in a continual state of rapid flux, with continually shifting fads and fashions and technological development that constantly pushes back the boudaries of the possible.

It could therefore be said that Japan is a country of stark contradictions and it is this that makes it such a fascinating country to visit.
