Japan is one of the most unique and fascinating countries in the world. Located on a collection of volcanic, mountainous islands, you are never very far from the coast or from an outstandingly beautiful natural location. The list of must-see sights is almost endless but top of the list is definitely iconic Mount Fuji and its surrounding five lakes – you can reach this remarkable destination on a day-trip from Tokyo on the famous bullet train. After a busy day of sightseeing you can relax in one of the many soothing hot spring spas.
