About Japan

Japan remains something of an enigma to people in the Western world. On one hand it is a giant producer of cars, computers, and a whole array of sleek electronic goods. Yet on the other it is still the land of the geisha and bonsai, the dainty tea ceremony, and the delicate art of flower arrangement. In fact, Japan is a land of curious contrasts - an intricate blend of East and West. While the cities are modern, the farther you get into the countryside, the farther you go back in time. You will find extended families living in large old wooden houses, dressed in more traditional clothes, and getting on with fairly simple lives. There are 9 regions, each with its own dialect, customs, and unique traditional culture. Japan is actually made up of several thousand islands. The terrain is mostly rugged and mountainous with many dormant and some active volcanoes. Mount Fuji (Fujisan), 3,776 meters high, is Japan's highest mountain and a volcano that last erupted in 1708. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain. Nearby hot spring resorts are popular. A highlight of the Japanese calendar is the blooming of the cherry blossoms from Janurary to late March/April.This is Japan.
