Japan, Land of the Rising Sun, has been a phrase known for around 1400 years or so. The expression is a translation of Nihon, the name the Japanese use to refer to their country. The historical origins of the name are from a Japanese envoy who declared that the country was so close to where the sun rose, and since then the name Japan, or Nihon, also known as Nippon the difference is down to translation, has remained.
The perfect itinerary of Japan would be an engaging combination of contrasts - futuristic cities alongside ancient culture and pulled together with stunning natural landscapes in between. From the big city excitement of Tokyo to the beauty and mystery of Kyoto; from the hot mountain springs of Hakone to the white sandy beaches of Okinawa every region of Japan has something special to offer. Discover and explore the country beyond the well-known popular attractions such as Mount Fuji, Himeji Castle, Fushini Inari Taisha, Itsukushima Shrine and of course Shinkansen, the bullet train, and immerse yourself more fully into the richness of Japanese nature and culture that exist off the beaten tourist path.
