Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, is a very busy nation of over 120 million people, who live on a chain of islands roughly the size of California. Japan is a great place to experience modern technological marvels, often alongside or close to historical sights such as castles, temples, and archaeological exhibits. The four major islands of Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu) offer varying experiences for the traveler, from relaxing hot springs to ski getaways to temple pilgrimages to some of the world`s best shopping and boutiques.
In the span of seventy years, South Korea has transformed itself from a poor and war-torn society to become one of the world`s most dynamic economies, and their infrastructure is also considered among the best in the world, even outshining its neighbor and former colonizer Japan. No longer `The Hermit Kingdom`, South Korea has been welcoming Western tourists for decades and is quickly becoming a popular worldwide tourist destination. Considering the fact that beautiful rural landscapes and cities are mere train rides from each other, it is very easy to combine all of what Korea is known for, its natural beauty, its culture, and its progress as it looks forward to tomorrow, all into one perfect vacation.
