Country Guides: Japan
Mount Fuji is the perfect analogy for modern Japan: symmetrical, beautiful, but with a fiery heart raging under the surface. Walking around the sanitised streets and grand shopping centres, you’re never far from a sight that will get your heart racing – whether it’s the magnificent imperial palace or a man in a green dress casually shopping for food.
Getting around is easy, as Subways criss-cross the cities and the famous bullet trains speed through the countryside at up to 300km/h. Wherever your destination, expect to travel comfortably and efficiently.
