Japan Tour Packages

Japan

One of the most advanced developed nations in the world. Indeed, long before many of the most impressive cathedrals in Europe were completed, Japan's Shinto and Buddhist temples were already well known and, for their frequently elaborate designs and decoration, attracted pilgrims and patrons.

At the same time, from fine porcelain and ceramics to textiles such as silk, the country was already perfecting the skills and trade that would set it on the road to wealth. Most of this rich tradition has been preserved (or rebuilt), amid wars and natural destruction, and a visit to Japan is an unforgettable adventure. A holiday in Japan is definitely a great investment of time and money, boasting an endless list of top attractions, things to see and do, and points of interest to discover.

Fuji Mount : The most recognizable landmark of Japan, without a doubt, the majestic Mount Fuji (Fuji-san) is also the highest mountain peak in the world, towering 3,776 meters to the south. Mount Fuji has been celebrated in art and literature for centuries and is now considered an icon so significant that in 2013, UNESCO acknowledged its world cultural importance.

Mount Fuji, part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, is climbed every summer by more than a million people as an act of pilgrimage, culminating in seeing the sunrise from its summit. While some still prefer to start their climb from the base, the majority of climbers now start at the 5th Station from above the halfway point, resulting in a six or so hour ascent that is more manageable.



Tokyo Imperial : The Imperial Palace, Okyo's most famous landmark, with its stunning 17th-century parks surrounded by walls and moats, is a must-see when visiting the capital of the country. Don't be put off by the fact that most of the palace (it's still in use by the Imperial family) is closed to the public, as there is still enough to see simply by strolling the grounds.

Visitors are allowed to the East Higashi-Gyoen Garden and other areas which are open to the public as part of an arranged tour, in addition to the many fine views of the palace from various points in the surrounding parkland - including the famous Nijubashi Bridge, or 'double bridge,' so named for its watery reflection. The popular Ginza shopping district is another must-see for tourists visiting Tokyo, home to the Kabuki-za Theatre with its Kabuki performances, as well as the Shimbashi Enbujo Theatre with its traditional Azuma-Odori dances and Bunraku displays.

Places to visit in Japan

Kyoto Historic : Even then, the city was the most significant cultural center of Japan, a tradition that continues with its many museums and art galleries, each full of important sculptures, paintings.

Its several well-preserved temples, 30 of which are still in use, and significant structures such as the 14th-century Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-JI), famous for its elegant gold-leaf-clad exterior, are highlights of Kyoto's Buddhist-influenced architecture. Be sure to also visit Nijo Castle, a fortress from the 17th century that retains its original walls, towers, and moat; its magnificent gates; and its fine interior decorated palace.

Itsukushima Shrine of the Island : The island of Miyajima, popular throughout the world as Japan's Shrine Island, is just a short ferry ride from mainland Hiroshima. The majority of the shrine's houses, dating from the eighth century, rise from the waters of a small bay backed only by piles.

The effect at high tide is absolutely breathtaking, making these structures look as if they are floating on water, including the famous Great Floating Gate (O-Torii). It is a fascinating place to explore, connected by walkways and bridges, particularly its larger halls, such as the exquisite Honden


City of the Temple: Ancient Nara : The magnificent, untouched city of Nara, the center of Japanese culture for decades, is home to a large number of ancient buildings, along with significant national treasures and works of art. In addition to its many historic streets, the city boasts numerous significant ancient temples, including the magnificent Kofuku-Ji Temple of the seventh century, perhaps the best known of Nara's Seven Great Temples, and the magnificent Todai-JI (Great East Temple) of the eighth century.

The Great South Gate (Nandaimon), a two-story structure constructed on 18 columns with two Nio statues standing eight meters high and protecting the temple entrance, and the Hall of the Great Buddha, the world's largest timber building, are also of interest in Todai-Ji.

Unique places to visit in Japan

Castle Osaka : Osaka Castle, built-in 1586 by the famous Japanese warrior and politician Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was the country's largest and most important fortress at the time. The new building, built-in 1931, remains true to the original, although it has been demolished and rebuilt a number of times since. The visit's highlights include the massive 5-story, 42-meter-high main tower constructed on an imposing 14-meter-high stone foundation and a collection of displays illustrating the history of the castle and the region.

The Hokoku Shrine is also of interest in Osaka Castle Park, while the best-known temple in Osaka, Shitenn?-Ji, is also worth visiting and dates back to AD 59. fine statues and paintings, the Lecture Hall (K?d?), and a beautiful covered corridor connecting three of the gates of the site.

Shrine of Atsuta, Nagoya : In the heart of the city of Nagoya, the Atsuta Shrine is Japan's most important Shinto shrine and draws more than five million visitors per year. This religious site, built in the first century, is famous for its preserved Imperial insignia, the 'grass-mowing sword' (Kusanagi) one of the country's only three.

While in Nagoya, be sure to visit Nagoya Castle, a beautiful moated complex constructed with a 48-meter-high main tower, renowned for its two gilded dolphins, its museum with ancient palace art treasures, and its stunning views of the city and Nobi Plain.

Sapporo, Hokkaido Sapporo : Located on the northernmost island of Japan, Hokkaido, the city of Sapporo offers visitors many things to see and do. As the largest town on the island, it is a center of cultural activity, hosting many outstanding events and festivals; a distinctive culinary style; a rich theatrical history; and many museums, galleries, and parks. The emphasis here is the attractive downtown area of the city, the core of which is Odori Park, a broad swath of green which is very fun to explore.

You can also reach points of interest from here, such as the Sapporo TV Tower, as well as the city's popular aerial tramway, all within walking distance.
