Japan

Ancient and modern combine perfectly in Japan, but it is the degree of civilization inherent in the character of its inhabitants that makes it a unique country. The nature of the southern islands of Kyushu and Shikoku is perhaps the real positive surprise, far beyond expectations. Nagasaki and Hiroshima, witnesses of atomic nightmare. Nara and Kyoto, where Japan was born and lived. The Japanese Alps culminating in the sacred mountain of Fuji. Finally Nikko and Tokyo, the sacred and the great beauty united with the sacred.
