About Japan
From the ritual tea ceremonies and graceful gardens and shrines to the world’s first high-speed train and modern skyscrapers, you’ll discover an innovative society steeped in ancient culture. Japan’s most recognized national holiday is New Year’s and is celebrated for three to four days. The Japanese people keep active and entertained, participating in activities like kendo (Japanese fencing), kabuki, Noh theater, and even baseball.
