Japan is a dream destination to many people around the world.

Aside from the very interesting and colourful culture of the Land of the Rising Sun, the country is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Mount Fuji, the Great Buddah of Kamakura and Tokyo Imperial Palace are just some of the many amazing places in Japan that are in the must-see list of both local and foreign visitors.

Aside from this, Japan has a unique blend of traditional and modern, with many temples and buildings from the past co-existing with modern achievements in architecture and technology. It’s always a sure thing that anyone can make a long list of anything about the country at any given time. Immediately, upon hearing Japan, our mind will be populated with images of amazing stuff like anime, manga, sumo wrestling, the bullet train, origami, cherry blossoms, and samurai.
