Japan is a well-known and highly developed country: the standard of living here is higher than in many European countries, including Austria, France, Italy, Spain, etc. However, the lifestyle of the Japanese, their social structure, their traditions, and culture remain a mystery to residents of other countries, and especially Western, in which everything is “different.”
Among the Russian tourists, there are still few who want to go on holiday to Japan: we often choose less expensive Japan holiday destinations– for example, the countries of South-East Asia, leaving the Japanese “exotic” for the future, and in vain. Holidays in Japan are considered expensive, but everything is relative here: at relatively high prices, in general, local resorts can be called luxurious, and the level of service is the highest.
At the same time, the cost of the rest can be reduced in different ways, and one of them is the choice of hotel. In Japan, even “two-star” hotels offer a higher level of service than in many countries that are also considered developed, and even a “hot” tour can always be found – discounts are tangible. Planning also helps to reduce costs: when you are going to travel around Japan, decide in advance what purpose you will go to this amazing country in all respects.
It can be said that in Japan now “there is everything”: there are many unique sights for history lovers and for those who are more attracted by modern achievements – the technological wonders of the Japanese have long been of considerable interest in the world. Choosing a specific city, you can relax with comfort at luxury destinations in Japan, as well as make the holiday informative, interesting and memorable.
Harmonious Japanese Contrasts
In this sense, the capital of the country remains out of competition: in Tokyo, one of the largest cities in the world, the modern rhythm of life and state-of-the-art technologies incomprehensibly “get along” with the traditions of their ancestors, literally soaking the life and worldview of the Japanese.
True, they say that in Yokohama and Osaka one can see almost the same thing: dynamism, the rapid development of business and the highest level of technology in them are also perfectly combined with the tangible influence of the past.
One of the richest in the cultural and historical sense is called the one that emerged in the VIII century AD. Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan, with hundreds of Buddhist and Shinto temples, with dozens of unique palaces and lush gardens. Almost all architectural monuments unobtrusively fit into the surrounding nature, making up with it one harmonious whole.
For example, as Kiyomizu-Dera – one of the most famous temples in Japan, located on the mountainside at the waterfall, and daily receiving thousands of pilgrims and tourists from different countries.
It is in Kyoto, in the Gion region, you can see the real culture of geishas – in almost the same form as a century ago. And arriving in Kyoto in April, you can get to the Miyako Odori festival, and see the rich and colorful geisha dance shows with your own eyes, and at quite affordable prices – depending on the choice of location.
