Japan has become one of the top tourist destinations in Asia and one of the major economic movers globally. Its advanced infrastructure and technology attract investors, trades and tourism, resulting in a dynamic mix of activities in the country. Despite the advances made, Japan’s well-preserved culture continues to flourish and unite the country.

For history enthusiasts, a trip to Kyoto is a must. The city served as Japan’s capital for more than 1000 years.
Kyoto’s imperial palaces and classical Buddhist temples, built on the basis of superstitions and strong cultural beliefs, represent Japan’s cultural spirit.
Kiyomizudera is one of Kyoto’s oldest and most celebrated temples. Its name, derived from the fall’s pure waters where it stood in the early Heian period of 778 and has since been reconstructed in 1633.
The temple of Kiyomizudera offers a magnificent view of cherry and maple trees which is exceptional in spring and fall.
Jishu Shrine is one of the most visited in this temple because of the belief that the shrine provides good fortune and charm in finding your one true love.
The Ottawa waterfalls on the other hand which is located at the base of the temple’s main hall are said to be magical and give long life, success with studies and glowing love life only if, visitors drank its waters from one of its three separate streams.
Another shrine located at the southern end of the temple grounds, which is mostly visited by a pregnant woman is the Koyasu Pagoda, which brings safe and easy childbirth. The temple of Kiyomizudera, since heavily visited in autumn season or in between September to November, has a special evening illumination to entertain visitors.

The legendary Fuji-san or most commonly known as Mt. Fuji is one of Japan’s pride and one out of its three sacred mountains, where Samurai warriors trained during ancient times. This active volcano is 3,776 meters high and is usually about 6 hours of climbing.
The Fuji Five Lake region is the best spot to stay when wanting to see the legendary mountain and the best start point for hikers who plan for some exciting adventure. Although Mt. Fuji’s last eruption was over 300 years ago, the region of Five Lake is surrounded with hot springs, for which tourists loved the most and also a perfect day-ender after a long day of hard climbing.
Along with hiking and relaxing hot springs activities are camping, fishing, skiing and other snow sports, museums, and amusement parks to fill your trip with fun memories.
