Travel to Japan

The most popular destination in Japan is without any doubts Tokyo with its numerous sights and historical monuments. The heart and soul of the city is Imperial Palace, which is nowadays open to public. In spring the gardens are abloom with cherry blossom, particularly along the castle moat. For sure visit Yasukuni Shrine, the home to the souls of about two and a half million soldiers, who had died in the Pacific War of World War II. Electronic wonderland – this is how the Akihabara area is called. There the tourists can buy computer hardware and software. The city's oldest temple, Senso-ji, is located in the Asakusa neighborhood of Tokyo. If you are a real connoisseur of art, visit National Museum, which boasts the largest collection of Japanese art in the world.

Kyoto also has a lot of attractions. You won’t be disappointed with a tour to Japan's imperial family residence – Kyoto Imperial Palace. The tourists can view the ancient furnishings and delicate decorations. Moving to the north of the city, the comers will see a three-storied pavilion covered in gold leaf, glittering in the waters of a calm pond. It is Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji) - a retirement home for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, later converted into a Zen temple. The city of Hiroshima has rather sad fame. There in the epicenter of the atomic bomb explosion the complex of buildings and monuments has been erected. This Atomic Bomb Dome has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the other side in the city there are other interesting places to see. One of them is The City Museum of Contemporary Art - the first public art museum in Japan devoted exclusively to modern art. Fukuoka is one of favorite spots for tourists in Japan. View the ruins of Fukuoka's castle, enjoy the architecture of Shofukuji Temple, and visit Asian Art Museum, where paintings, sculptures, prints and handcrafts are displayed.
