Japan\u2019s unique blend of modernity and history tends to hit a travel sweet spot. Isolated from the rest of the world for many centuries, the country fostered intensely strong cultural traditions. More recently, however, Japan has emerged a world leader in fashion, technology, cuisine and other fields. These contrasts make for an enthralling visitor experience. This journey takes in all these aspects, with a particular emphasis on the nation\u2019s vibrant spiritual fabric. The adventure commences in Tokyo, the capital, where geisha districts, temples and legendary shrines complement buzzing shopping hubs like Omotesando. After a pitstop in the resort of Yamanouchi \u2013 famous for its onsen (healing hot springs) \u2013 guests will proceed to Kyoto, the former capital, home to over 2000 temples and shrines. Another spiritual hub is temple-rich Koyasan, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. The journey ends in the energetic city of Osaka where fun-loving locals and a fabulous culinary scene make for a fun cultural experience.<\/p>\n
