Short guide to Japan

Japan is a truly developed and remarkable country. Leading the way in technological innovation, this country is renowned for making most of the leading electrical brands in the world today. Recently coming out of isolation, the land of the infamous Geisha girls and beautiful cherry blossoms has taken the world by storm.

Japan is made up of a number of different islands, neighboured by China and Korea it is separated from these countries via the Japan sea. Between the 17th and mid 19th centuries, Japan had elected to follow an isolationist policy. However, since opening its doors up to the rest of the globe this land has transformed into a landscape full of Neon lit cities and amazingly sophisticated transportation systems.

Besides the evident technological transformation in this nation, Japan has not lost complete touch with its traditional roots. In fact, the ancient customs and traditions are thriving in Japan and are one of the unique characteristics of the Japanese people. From being bowed to whilst being welcomed, to having to take your shoes off when entering someone's abode, all these little characteristics make you feel the simplicity and welcoming nature of the Japanese people.

Throughout the sprawling metropolises found within the city centres, you will find some old and ancient structures. Shrines and temples from yesteryear riddle the countryside, and beautiful Zen gardens provide sought after and much-needed sanctuary whilst hot springs provide relief from the cold of the winter months.

There are numerous landscapes present in Japan. On the Mainland the country is quite Mountainous, in fact, more than three-quarters of the country is actually mountainous. This has made these areas quite uninhabitable and as a result, the majority of the citizens have chosen their dwellings on the coastal plains. Particularly populated is the area known as Honshu.

Tokyo, as an example, is a highly populated city, with the last official figure said to have quoted the number of people in the city to have exceeded the twelve million mark. The remarkable thing about this amazingly crowded city is that the infrastructure copes perfectly well with this mass of human beings. Everything runs smoothly, trains are on time and the crime rates are remarkably low.

Even in the city, you will find parks and open spaces, provided by the authorities in order that locals have a place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The official language of the country is Japanese, however, English is spoken widely within established tourist centres. The accent, however, can be fairly difficult to understand, so be aware of this fact.

In conclusion, Japan is a fascinating country and will leave a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to visit this region of the world.
