Hypermodern and attached to its tradition, urbanized in its megalopolis and wild in its countryside, Japan is an archipelago of all contrasts. From the peaks of Mount Fuji to the fishing islands of the inland sea, via the indescribable Tokyo and the imperial Kyoto, the land of the Rising Sun offers infinite landscapes and cultural richness.
Tokyo, the largest city in the world, an electric, bustling, sparkling urban universe. Kyoto, the former imperial capital, city of arts and geishas, tea and ikebana. Osaka, the creative one, and Hiroshima, which, beyond its tragedy, brings through art and hospitality the best that humanity generates. Nara, the artistic and religious cradle, but also Nikko perched high in its mountain setting, Kamakura by the sea, Hakone the gateway to Mount Fuji, the majestic symbol of Japan, to be seen in spring when the cherry trees bloom.
For fans of new technologies, Japan meets all expectations. Nature lovers will not be disappointed either. The interior, natural, secret, almost wild and still preserved from modernity, is offered to them. Discovery to be completed with a headlong dive (so to speak!) into the thermal springs, the famous onsen? It’s a wonderful experience to let even the slightest bit of fatigue and stress slip away in the natural hot (and sulphurous) water of an open-air onsen, at night under the stars. A great moment that says a lot about the Japanese art of living.
Traveling to the land of the Rising Sun also means discovering Japanese cuisine, delicious, refined and aesthetic. We gradually tame this unknown universe, where tradition combines with modernity, where serenity and respect rub shoulders with animation and agitation, where order and cleanliness are essential...
From this trip to Japan, we come back undeniably enriched by contact with another civilization and another way of living, thinking and acting. A country whose perfume does not exist in Europe.
