Facts about Japan

Tourist Overview: A modern country with a rich heritage, Japan has long been popular with travelers. While is it one of the most expensive places to live, it is possible for the budget traveller to have a good time as well. There are four main islands which make up Japan: Hokkaido in the North, Honshu the mainland, Shikoku in the South-East Asia, and Kyushu in the South. More than 4,000 smaller islands surround these four main islands.

Japan also combines the most traditional of societies with the most modern of techniques. Technology lovers will love Japan, being the heart of all technological development, tourists greatly enjoy the diversity of shopping in Japan. In Tokyo the districts of Roppongi, Akihabara, and Shinjuku all offer all you could dream of in this respect. Between the neon signs and the sky scrapers you will also find pagodas and shrines where saints are revered according to century old customs. Honshu is the main island. Most of the big cities are here and if you have just two weeks, you can limit your trip to just this island. The city of Kyoto is a must see.
