Enjoy your Austrian flight to
Japan and find yourself in a country of dazzling contrast between futuristic Hi-Tec and a many century’s old culture. In Japans capital Tokyo, the largest metropolitan area in the world, you can dive deep into the crazy Japanese pop culture in the Akihabara quarter, where manga, anime, cosplay and maid cafes are celebrated. A shopping trip to Shibuya for the latest gadgets and a party night in Roppongi are also part of the Tokyo experience. After a visit to the Emperors Palace and the Meiji Shrine, take the famous bullet train Shinkansen and a ferry to Okinawa in the south, a tropical pacific island. Here is the earliest start of the cherry blossom festival, the Hanami. You can follow the spring from south to north and visit Osaka and the old capital Kyoto, both full of historical sights, temples, shrines and castles that made it onto the UNESCO world heritage list. For grandiose landscapes go to the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park with the holy Mount Fuji at its centre. Be sure to enjoy the Japanese kitchen in all its traditional glory that goes far beyond Sushi and Ramen. Visit a traditional Japanese spa, called onsen, which uses only naturally hot water from geothermally heated springs. Enjoy your stay in Japan!
