Japan is a study in contrasts between traditional and modern. Large bustling cities like Tokyo are only a short journey from traditional villages. Pop culture exists next to the grace of a geisha, bullet trains next to the spare beauty of a Zen rock garden. There are stays at ryokans (traditional inns); and there is the food, made of the freshest of ingredients. Slurp on soba and sample some sake, eat at a takoyaki in Osaka, try your hand at making sushi, and savour yakitori in Tokyo. This is truly a taste of Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun.
