JAPAN
A truly unique country that showcases a blend of tradition, culture and modernity. Usually one still relates to Japan with regards to the Bullet Train (Shinkanzen) and the Cherry Blossom festival which is now more of an annual ritual and of course the Atomic Bombing sites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but there is much more to Japan than just these. Shopping extravaganzas, hustle bustle of its cosmopolitan cities, amazing theme parks, mystical temples, ancient cities and of course its gourmet foods, Japan has it all. Japan’s busy capital Tokyo, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples. The opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine is known for its towering gate and surrounding woods & the Imperial Palace sits amid large public gardens. Kyoto is old Japan with its numerous classical Buddhist temples, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines, traditional wooden & tea houses, sublime gardens and geisha. Osaka is known for its modern architecture, nightlife, hearty street food and theme parks. Allow Déjàvu to curate a lovely holiday to Japan for you!
