The Land of the Rising Sun - Japan is the focus of oriental sophistication, centuries-old traditions and modern achievements. Picturesque pagodas and ancient temples, stretching against the backdrop of cherry blossoms, are side by side with skyscrapers cutting through the air, and unique architectural complexes - with business centers and major amusement parks.
The sights of Japan are seven natural and man-made beauties. One vacation is hardly enough to explore all the iconic places of this country. A visit to Japan's castles alone will take several days. Add to this the numerous museums, luxurious palace gardens, exhibition centers and theaters - and a rich excursion program is ready. In the list of the main tourist locations in the country:
- Tokyo Imperial Palace;
- Nijo Castles in Kyoto and Matsumoto;
- Egret Castle in Kobe;
- Mount Fuji;
- Kabuki-za theater;
- Nagoya Castle;
- Mount Arashiyama;
- Tokyo Disneyland;
- Aokigahara National Park;
- Hiroshima Peace Memorial;
- Horyuji Monastery and Enryaku-ji Monastery, etc.
The traditions of Japan deserve special attention. In this modern country, even today you can visit a dinner with a geisha, and the legendary sakura blossom in March-April was turned by the Japanese into a grandiose event, accompanied by festivities and picnics.
Perhaps the main disadvantage of a vacation in Japan is the rather high prices for budget travelers. There is no concept of low season here, so the cost of living is kept at the same level all year round. There are hotels of various levels in the country, and all of them - from modest 2 stars to luxurious "five stars" - offer a high level of service. The most budget accommodation option is a capsule hotel - an analogue of European hostels. A night here will cost about $ 50. You will have to pay the most for a room in a 5-star hotel - prices here start at $ 300 per night.
The easiest way to book a hotel at the best price is to use specialized aggregators that allow you to compare hotel prices. A great example is the online service Hotelhunter. An extensive database of hotels of different levels, convenient and simple navigation - with such an assistant, choosing accommodation will take a few minutes.
