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.

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.
