Japan

Japan is essentially an archipelago, formed by four main islands (Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku), and from this island and isolated condition derives its long and complex history. A story that continues, in the almost total exclusion of relations with the outside, and that however forms something exceptional. A trip to Japan should therefore not underestimate this: that the Rising Sun is an archipelago, a continent, a world, and that everything that comes from outside is "filtered" by a deeply sedimented perspective. A trip to Japan is ideal to discover a different world, far from Western standards, with a philosophy and a culture so far from ours as to be fascinating and seductive in the eyes of a Western visitor. A country of strong contrasts, where the dance of a geisha contrasts with the speed of the Shinkansen, where the warm beaches of the islands of the South join the snowy peaks of the islands of the North and where the millenary tradition is accompanied by new trends in pop culture, in a whirlwind of impulses and emotions. Visit the main cities and places of Japanese tradition. Possibility to combine the trip to the Tokyo Olympics, scheduled from July 24 to August 9, 2020.
