Shrines & Temples

Shrines and temples are places of worship in Japan. These are the holy lands which are built with gorgeous architecture and piece of art.

Mountains & Beaches

Cursed by none and loved by all. Mountains and beaches are those natural wonders which are engraved in everyone’s heart. Japan is famous for its beautiful snow-capped mountains and hiking is even more preferred. Mount Fiji is the highest mountain in Japan and each year people from around the world hike on through the mountain. Mount Mitake, Takao and Nikko are some more famous mountains across Japan. Make Alaska airlines reservations and conquer the mountain of Japan.

The main island of Okinawa has numerous white sand beaches which are calm and peaceful and away from the mob.

Festivals

I am a huge fan of Manga and Anime which is originated from the Japanese culture. They are now widespread and enjoyed in the whole world. Anime festivals are a treat to be a part of. People dress up in their favorite anime character and events go in and around every corner with enthusiasm and zeal. Apart from the Anime Fest there are hundreds of other festivals which are celebrated in the country. Sapporo Snow Festival is yet another beautiful festival which is celebrated by building artifacts and sculptures out of snow. Omizutori, another occasion on the island where there are different service ceremonies of the Buddhist religion held. The festival conducts a fire light up in the balcony of a wooden hall which is eye catching.
