The symbol of the Land of the Rising Sun has always been considered a blooming sakura against the background of the snow cap of Mount Fuji. For locals, there is nothing more beautiful than this landscape, which soothes the heart and soothes the soul. But the sacred volcano alone is not enough for the guests of the country to satisfy their vacation. They want something exotic in all its senses, whether it be national cuisine, kimono dressing courses or bathing in hot springs in the middle of the frozen virgin snow. Not too many Russian tourists come to the resorts of Japan - the prices for tours to the Land of the Rising Sun bite quite noticeably. Those who decided not to waste time on trifles discover an amazing culture, where every little thing is a symbol, sign or attribute of something big and important.
Ryukyu Beach Paradise
The archipelago with such a nice name is more than one and a half hundred islands, where the best beach resorts in Japan are located. The subtropics guarantee warm and sunny weather for the local vacationers for the vast majority of months of the year, and you can get to the resort cities by plane from Tokyo, the capitals of some prefectures and other countries of Southeast Asia.
The most popular island resorts in Japan are famous not only for excellent diving and comfortable hotels, but also for the richest opportunities for excursion programs:
- On Taketomi Island, you can sunbathe and view the ancient stone structures and houses of local residents. The islanders still use carts pulled by buffaloes as a means of transport, and the menu of the local restaurants only uses healthy food based on vegetables and seafood.
- The sandy beaches of Kume Island are not its only advantage. Here, architectural monuments of the era of the Ryukyu state, which existed in Okinawa in the 15th century, have been preserved in excellent condition.
- You can catch mackerel and get acquainted with the rich underwater world of the Pacific Ocean at the Japanese resort on Miyako Island. The local coral reefs are considered one of the most beautiful in the Eastern Hemisphere.
