Lonely Planet - Japan
Somewhere between the elegant formality of Japanese manners and the candid, sometimes boisterous exchanges that take place over a few drinks, between the sanitised shopping malls and the unexpected rural festivals, everyone finds their own vision of Japan.

Get Packing - Japan
The land of the rising sun, Japan is a country whose uniqueness is equalled only by its beauty. A place of contradictions: where people seem to work harder and longer than anywhere else, and yet the leisure facilities are superb, and frequently empty; Where amongst the utterly modern glamour of the cities, you can find ornate Shinto temples; and where in the gardens of peace, you can see some of the most poignant remnants of war. The capital Tokyo is a vast city of some 12 million people, that lies on the southern coast of the main island Honshu. A city so busy, that the office lights remain on all day and night, and the streets are never empty is also home to areas so calm that you could swear that you were in the middle of the countryside.
