The Land of the Rising Sun Japan combines tradition and modernity with jewelry. Ancient pagodas and spirit gates coexist here with mirrored skyscrapers, pompous "five" - with cozy ryokans, untwisted spa centers - with ofuro national baths. This almost fantastic mix of the heritage of the East and the achievements of the West is the main thing that attracts its guests to the country.

But besides the incredible atmosphere, there is something to enjoy here: many are interested in the unique architecture of Japan - the world-famous "Golden Pavilion" in Kyoto, the Imperial Palace, a great many ancient temples. For children, the country is represented by the best amusement parks: Disneyland, Disney Sea, Universal Studio. In general, Japan is visited by a diverse, but consistently well-off contingent: mostly tourists who have already visited many countries, as well as businessmen. Only in one country "let us down" - at least for a budget traveler - prices are high here, and the concept of "low season" does not exist in principle. As for the number of sights and museums - everything is in order here: Japan will find something to surprise guests on ... the tenth visit.

Guests of the country should remember that foreign languages are not common in Japan. To meet an English-speaking passer-by on the street is one chance out of 100. However, the lost "red-faced barbarians" will definitely be helped - not by passers-by, but by the police, whose duties include delivering foreign "foundlings" to hotels. In addition, all the inscriptions in the subway and road signs are duplicated in Latin, which makes it somewhat easier to navigate in the city.
