日本へようこそ

welcome to japan

Japan stretches from the frozen edge of Siberia down to the tropics. This archipelago of thousands of islands is home to an incredible array of disparate landscapes—not only ultramodern cities and smoldering volcanoes, but also remote beaches and lush valleys. What unites the range of climates, geographies, and outlooks are the rhythms of the seasons to which the heart of the country still beats, dictating the ever-shifting weather, cuisine, and cultural life of the country’s 127 million inhabitants. And binding it all together is an astonishing transportation network, which makes it easy to get there and explore—whether by bicycle, plane, bullet train, or ferry. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, want the afterglow of your stay to last a bit longer, or simply wish to indulge in some quintessential Japanese experiences, the culture has never been more accessible: whether it is eating sushi in London or enjoying blossom viewing in San Francisco, you are closer to Japan than you know.
