Japan

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.

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.
