Home to over 127 million people, Japan』s emerald isles float along the eastern rim of the Asian continent, spreading for over 3,000 kilometres and accumulating nearly 30,000 kilometres of coastline. Ranging all the way from sub-arctic Hokkaido to sub-tropic Okinawa, the Japanese archipelago hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna. With a land mass slightly smaller than California or equivalent to Germany, Japan』s urban areas are the most densely populated in the world.
Japan consists of four major islands and around 3,900 smaller ones. The main islands are Hokkaido in the north, the large central island of Honshu (home of Tokyo), and the smaller southern islands of Shikoku and Kyushu. These dramatic islands are made up of steep mountains, deep verdant valleys, lakes and winding rivers flowing into large deltas and bustling harbours. Most of the country』s mountains are volcanic causing Japan to be one of the most seismically active regions of the world. However, serious earthquakes and tsunamis only occur several times in a century. For the most part, Japan registers only small tremors. From all this geological activity, the country is blessed with an abundance of healing hot springs and spectacular scenery.

Japan was traditionally settled in 660 B.C., by various clans of indigenous people. Written history began in the 5th century A.D. and Buddhism was introced from China in the 6th century. Rivalry between Buddhism and Shinto (Japan』s traditional religion) was defused by presenting Shinto deities as manifestations of Buddha. Today the two religions co-exist and are practiced peacefully, with many festivals and celebrations.
During a long feudal period between the 12th and 19th centuries, military power was held by the shoguns and samurais. Japan closed its borders, forbidding its citizens to leave and foreigners to enter. This national seclusion came to an end when shogun dominance was overthrown by the imperial power of Emperor Mutsuhito in 1868. Feudalism was abolished, and the country opened up to Western trade and instrial technology. Today Japan is highly instrialized and noted for its advanced technology.
The capital of Japan is Tokyo, a massive dazzling city where the old and the new collide into an endless array of exotic sights and sounds. With more than 12 million people, Tokyo radiates exuberant energy, offering fascinating and unique discoveries at every turn.

Highly commercialized with fabulous shopping districts, Osaka is famous for its kabuki theatre, bunraku (a unique form of puppet theatre), Osaka Castle, hearty cuisine and down-to-earth people, revealing a sophisticated and lively atmosphere, especially at night.
Hokkaido is the second largest of the Japanese islands, but the least populated. As Japan』s northernmost island, snowfall is abundant, making it the main winter resort and sport area in Japan. The island』s capital of Sapporo hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics. Hokkaido's scenic beauty is preserved within several national parks, encompassing vast forests, rugged mountains and Japan』s second longest river, the Ishikari.
Okinawa is a group of tiny islands within the Ryukyu Island chain in south western Japan, surrounded by some of the clearest sea water in the world. With a welcoming subtropical climate, the Ryuku archipelago extends for over 1000 kilometres, home to an abundance of wildlife, dense forests, mountains, caves, coral reefs and the most beautiful beaches in Japan. Having historically been a separate nation, Okinawa』s language and culture differ considerably from mainland Japan, making it a fascinating place to visit.

Nagoya has many universities, the magnificent Nagoya Castle and two famous shrines, one of which houses the sacred imperial Kusanagi sword, along with thousands of national treasures.

Yokohama is a large city 30 kilometres south of Tokyo on the shores of Tokyo Bay. As the birth place of Japan』s first railroad, Yokohama today is connected to Tokyo by several railway lines as well as numerous expressways. Almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake and fire in 1923, it was quickly rebuilt and modernized and is now a leading port and instrial centre. It is home to historical and tranquil Sankeien Garden, the Ramen Noodle and Curry Museum, and one of Japan』s tallest buildings, the Landmark Tower, standing at nearly 300 metres.

1. 富士山 Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people.
Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708. It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days.
The easiest way to view Mount Fuji is from the train on a trip along the Tokaido Line between Tokyo and Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best view of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40 to 45 minutes after leaving Tokyo.
Note however, that clouds and poor visibility often block the view of Mount Fuji, and you have to consider yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Visibility tends to be better ring the colder seasons of the year than in summer, and in the early morning and late evening hours.
If you want to enjoy Mount Fuji at a more leisurely pace and from a nice natural surrounding, you should head to the Fuji Five Lake (Fujigoko) region at the northern foot of the mountain, or to Hakone, a nearby hot spring resort.

Japan (Japanese: 日本, Nihon or Nippon) is an island country located in the Pacific Ocean, east of China and Korea, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea in the south. It is composed of over 3,000 islands, the largest of which are Hokkaidō, Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū. Most of Japan's islands are mountainous, and many are volcanic; the highest peak is Mount Fuji.
Historically, Japan adopted many Chinese and Korean customs and institutions beginning in the 5th and 6th centuries. During the 8th century, the emergence of an indigenous culture sparked a "golden age" in Japan called the Heian period, characterized by aesthetic refinement and aristocratic sophistication. The arts and literature flourished, culminating in Lady Murasaki's writing of The Tale of Genji, the world's first known novel.
From the 12th century to the mid-1800s, Japan was a feudal country led by clans of warriors known as the samurai. The Tokugawa shogunate, established in 1603, began to pursue the Sakoku ("closed country") policy of isolation that lasted for two and a half centuries. The arrival of U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry's "Black Ships" and the signing of the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854, signaled the opening of the country to the West. After the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan adopted many European and American customs and institutions. Its culture today is a mixture of these influences along with traditional Japanese culture.
Japan is the world's second-largest economy and one of the world's leading instrialized countries. It is a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and an elected parliament, called the Diet, which is one of the oldest legislatures in Asia. Despite its rugged terrain, Japan is one of the most populous—and one of the most densely populated—countries in the world. Greater Tokyo, with over 30 million residents, is the largest metropolitan area in the world.
Japan's name in the kanji writing system is often translated as "Land of the Rising Sun", and comes from the country's location on the east coast of Asia

Kameyama koen has a stone commemorating Zhou Enlai's visited to Arashiyama. He was moved by the cherry blossoms and mountain greenery. The four poems Zhou Enlai wrote about his visit are engraved on a stone monument: "Arashiyama in the Rain."
Nijō Castle（二條城）
Nijō Castle (二條城 ,Nijō-jō?) is a flatland castle located in Kyoto, Japan. The castle consists of two concentric rings of fortifications, the Ninomaru Palace, the ruins of the Honmaru Palace, various support buildings and several gardens. The surface area of the castle is 275,000 square meters, of which 8000 square meters is occupied by buildings.
History
Present plan of Nijō Castle (click for detailed view)In 1601, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, ordered all the feudal lords in Western Japan to contribute to the construction of Nijō Castle, which was completed ring the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu in 1626. Parts of Fushimi Castle, such as the main tower and the Kara Gate, were moved here in 1625-26.[1] It was built as the Kyoto residence of the Tokugawa Shoguns. The Tokugawa Shogunate used Edo as the capital city, but Kyoto continued to be the home of the Imperial Court. Kyoto Imperial Palace is located north-east of Nijo Castle.
The central keep, or donjon, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground in 1791.
In 1788, the Inner Palace was destroyed by a city-wide fire. The site remained empty until it was replaced by a prince's residence transferred from the Kyoto Imperial Palace in 1893.
In 1867, the Ninomaru Palace was the stage for the declaration by Tokugawa Yoshinobu, returning the authority to the Imperial Court. Next year the Imperial Cabinet was installed in the castle. The palace became imperial property and was declared a detached palace. During this time, the Tokugawa hollyhock crest was removed wherever possible and replaced with the imperial chrysanthemum.
In 1939, the palace was donated to the city of Kyoto and opened to the public the following year.
Ryōan-ji(龍安寺）
Ryōan-ji (Shinjitai: 竜安寺, Kyūjitai: 龍安寺 ?, The Temple of the Peaceful Dragon) is a Zen temple located in northwest Kyoto, Japan. Belonging to the Myoshin-ji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism, the temple is one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The site of the temple was originally a Fujiwara family estate. It eventually came into the hands of the Hosokawa clan branch of the Fujiwaras. Hosokawa Katsumoto inherited the residence, and lived here before the Ōnin War. Katsumoto willed the war-ravaged property to be converted into a Zen sect temple complex after his death. Later Hosokawa emperors are grouped together in what are today known as the "Seven Imperial Tombs" at Ryoan-ji. The burial places of these emperors -- Uda, Kazan, Ichijō, Go-Suzaku, Go-Reizei, Go-Sanjō, and Horikawa -- would have been comparatively humble in the period after their deaths. These tombs reached their present state as a result of the 19th century restoration of imperial sepulchers (misasagi) which were ordered by Emperor Meiji.[1]
Ryōan-ji's tsuku (蹲踞 ?), which is a small basin provided at Japanese Buddhist temples for visitors to purify themselves by the ritual washing of hands and rinsing of the mouth.An object of interest near the rear of the monks quarters is the carved stone receptacle into which water for ritual purification continuously flows. This is the Ryōan-ji tsuku (蹲踞 ?), which translates literally as "crouch;" and the lower elevation of the basin requires the user to bend a little bit to reach the water, which suggests supplication and reverence.[2] The kanji written on the surface of the stone are without significance when read alone. If each is read in combination with 口 (kuchi), which the central bowl is meant to represent, then the characters become 吾, 唯, 足, 知. This is read as "ware tada taru (wo) shiru" and translates literally as "I only know plenty" (吾 = ware = I, 唯 = tada = only, 足 = taru = plenty, 知 = shiru = know). The meaning of the phrase carved into the top of the tsuku is simply that "what one has is all one needs" and is meant to reinforce the basic anti-materialistic teachings of Buddhism.
The absence of a dipper is intended to imply that the water is for the soul only and that it is necessary to bend the knee in humility in order to receive its blessing.
Kiyomizu-dera（清水寺）
Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺 ?), full name Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera (音羽山清水寺 ?) is an independent Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities) UNESCO World Heritage site.[1] Not one nail is used in the whole temple. The temple should not be confused with Kiyomizu-dera in Yasugi, Shimane, which is part of the 33-temple route of the Chūgoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage through western Japan.[2]
