Yasmine, Japan Expert

Japan is certainly a one-of-a-kind destination! You enter into another world in search of a country, a culture, a state of mind to realize, at the end of the road, that you have lost all your bearings but that you learn a little bit more about yourself. You will understand: a trip to Japan is as fascinating as it is elusive.

In this authentic country, one is quickly touched by the omnipresent spirituality, by the kindness of the inhabitants, always helpful and smiling, and by the beauty which is in a thousand small details which you will discover during your stay in ‘The Land of the Rising Sun’. A trip to Japan will surely surprise you!

The streets of Tokyo, Kobe and Osaka are lively and modern, showing the gleaming, fast-paced, neon-lit side of this ancient country. But it is by plunging into Japan’s countryside, its mountains and small fishing villages with toothless grandmothers that you are most likely to grasp the essence of this land of a thousand faces. It is here, in rural Japan, that one can savor the most delicious seafood, taste the best sake, and admire the most beautiful rice fields. This is where you make the most meaningful encounters on your trip to Japan, where you will be welcomed by Taketomi, Chiaki, Shuji and others, delighted to share their country with you.

Let yourself be tempted by an adventure as rich in its human encounters as it is culturally on a trip to Japan: sit back while Shanti Travel organizes your dream holiday in this enchanting country: Japan!

A wonder at every moment
