The archipelago of Japan is in eastern Asia, its shores washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Japan. Japan offers a combination of high tech civilisation, ancient traditions and spiritual awareness. Entertainment comes in the form of head spinning amusement parks, colourful festivals, ritual tea drinking, relaxing hot spas, vibrant nightlife and more...... The shopping 'meccas' provide gadgets galore, pearls and other jewellery, ceramics, kimonos and a vast array of cultural souvenirs.

Without a doubt this is a destination of cultural diversity manifested in vibrant festivals, performing arts and other events such as sumo wrestling, samurai fencing and martial arts. Japanese spirituality is rooted in aesthetics and tranquility, which is tangible in their art forms. Evidence can be seen in the numerous sculptured gardens, flower arrangements, geisha performances and virtually all ritualistic and traditional expressions. The Japanese are famous for karaoke, origami (art of paper folding), bonsais, sushi and technological advancement.
