Japan fascinates with its contrasts. Tokyo electrifies with its glowing skyscrapers, its trendy neighborhoods and its impeccable subway. Kyoto, by contrast, preserves the serenity of its temples, its zen gardens and its geishas. Between the two, the country unfolds aboard high-speed trains, through traditional villages, steaming onsen and cherry blossoms in spring. Subtle, refined cuisine, politeness elevated to an art of living, astonishing nature: Japan is a revelation for anyone who visits.
