Why visit Japan?
1. Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima
The most prominent feature of Itsukushima Shrine is certainly its giant red torii located some 200 meters in front of the main complex. The gate, seemingly floating on the water, is constructed from camphor wood. A wood that is especially rot-resistant. It is painted with vermilion lacquer as another means of protection against corrosion.
2. Gingaku-Ji in Kyoto
A temple covered in gold-leaf. Few highlights in Japan gain more attention than Gingaku-Ji in Kyoto. This picture clearly tells you why.
3. Sumo-Wrestling
Sumo-wrestlers appear to be severely obese. But in fact, they are very nimble and will win their wrestling matches with deadly speed.
4. Monkeys everywhere
Japanese love animals. In some cities (like Nara) wild deer will walk freely around on the pavement. But monkeys are a favorite as well!
5 . Everything is stylish in Japan
The picture above doesn’t show the waiting area of an interior-design-office, but the subway in Kyoto! Expect outstanding design in Japan.
Japan is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. The contrast between modern technologies and ancient customs creates an abundance of reasons to visit the country.
