Japan
With Mount Fuji looming large in the background, Japan’s islands have an ethereal quality. Each spit of land has its own stamp of authenticity that distinguishes it from the rest.
Foodies to the fore! Japan is every gastronomad’s dream destination. From that bento-box breakfast to succulent sashimi, Kobe beef or a bowl of comfort Ramen, the food is sublime. And let’s not forget that potent sake, Japan’s favourite brew, which leaves you feeling delightfully heady.
Japan is a country of paradoxes. Sumo to samurai, karate to kyudo, Japanese’s martial prowess is legendary. But before you draw that sword, step into a Shinto shrine or explore the tranquil zen gardens of Kyoto. The cultural center of Japan, Kyoto is known for its serene shrines, which dot the city’s landscape, and you’ll often see monks and pilgrims mingling in the temple complexes.
About Bhutan
The Japanese are known for their hospitality and no visit is quite complete without a stay in a traditional Ryokan. These traditional inns are not only a delightful stay, but a portal to Japanese culture. A stay in a Ryokan is an extremely soothing experience. Dine on excellent ethnic cuisine, as you slow down the pace and imbibe the ambience. Some Ryokan’s also have their own onsen, where you soak in hot water heated by volcanic energy. Onsens are an ancient tradition, and you can find them across Japan. A soothing soak is the perfect way to recalibrate your entire being.
