Japan exudes culture, natural wonders and history. In this Asian country, the modern lies next to the ancient. From tranquil zen gardens and peaceful pagodas to neon-lit cities and robot restaurants, Japan is a top destination for first-time and returning visitors.

- Expert advice and easy-to-follow itineraries.

If history is what you're after, take a trip to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or visit Nakanoshima Museum of Art. If you're keen on the countryside, jump a shinkansen and speed your way to bubbling hot springs, explore Japanese beaches or gasp at the majesty of Mount Fuji. And if that wasn't enough to entice you to visit, there's the food - perfect noodles, delicate sushi and warming hotpots.
