Japan was above and beyond anything I could have expected. I loved everything about the country. Japan’s way of life and the respect for others is remarkable. I’ve never felt safer while on travels.
This trip had us crisscrossing all over the country. Using the JR rail pass we had major stops in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagano. Yudanaka and Kamakura. Along the way we got to meet up with friends new and old that showed us parts of Japan that we surely would have missed.
This video doesn’t show all the places we were able to go but it is a good representation of just how busy we were.

The 10 year celebration theme for Roppongi Hills is “LOVE TOKYO”.
We will be starting a movement here from Roppongi Hills to transform Tokyo into a more attractive and exciting “world-class city”.
We are opening a 10th anniversary website in which users can experience 3D projection mapping on a miniature model of the city of Tokyo at a 1 : 1000 scale.
Participants can enjoy various motifs of the city: “Futuristic City,” “Rock City,” and a traditional Japanese “Beauty of Nature” motif by pressing the keys on a keyboard, as if playing the piano.
Exploit the possibilities and make Tokyo more dynamic and exciting.
Join us in a symphony with the entire city of Tokyo, and enjoy this completely new visual experience.

Throughout Tokyo and the other major cities, the natural environment has been sealed beneath the all-pervading concrete jungle, while in Kyoto and some of the more remote regions, the pristine landscape is valued above all else.
Whatever differences there in the various regions of Japan, the similarities are abundantly evident. Containing some of the most polite and hospitable people I have come across, along with the well structured style of living, Japan is a fantastic location to travel if you are interested in seeing some truly remarkable sights and experience a culture that is incomparably unique.
