On our Japan by Rail tour you will see why Japan is the quintessential study in contrast and contradiction.
Japanese culture stretches back millennia, yet has adopted (and created) some of the latest modern fashions and trends.
Its cities are as modern and high tech as anywhere else, but tumbledown wooden shacks can still be spotted next to glass fronted designer condominiums.
In the middle of a modern skyscraper you might discover a sliding wooden door that leads to a traditional chamber with tatami mats, calligraphy, and a tea ceremony.
Such juxtapositions are cause for many surprises and very little boredom for any visitor to Japan.
