Too far, too expensive, too inaccessible, for a long time, Japan has been likened to a kind of planet Mars in the Far East. A fascinating archipelago, a highly refined civilization, a distant star, appealing, but unaffordable.
With falling airfares and the growing strength of the euro since 2000 (the exchange rate has become favorable for European travelers), everything changed. It is possible to travel to Japan in backpacker, with a small to medium budget. Add to that the will of the Ministry of Tourism of Japan to open the country to a new more economical tourism.
Megacities first: Tokyo, the largest city in the world, an electric urban world, fast-paced, sparkling. Kyoto, the ancient imperial capital, a city of art and geishas, tea and ikebana. Nara, artistic and religious cradle, spiritual city of monks, aristocracy and Buddhism, but Nikko perched high in the mountains, Kamakura to the seaside, Hakone door of Mount Fuji, the majestic symbol of Japan, see the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom.
Connected to the archipelago of high technology reserve all new, this is especially the kingdom of robots! It is also the land of manga and video games. The nature lovers will not be disappointed either. As soon as one moves away from the coast, we find an almost savage Japan: mountains with slopes covered with forests, snow-capped volcanoes, mountain lakes.
And what about the hot springs, famous onsen? This is the ultimate in Japanese etiquette.
