Discover JAPAN

Japan is a wonderful country where tradition and innovation are fused together. It has a unique worldview, with a culture of artisans who carry on traditions, but also advanced technology. Blessed with nature, the country is full of bounty from the mountains and the sea, and its culinary culture makes the most of its ingredients. With four distinct seasons, you can enjoy a different beauty in each season you visit.

Highlights

You can spend a pleasant time even on a day trip, such as experiencing matcha green tea while gazing at the garden of a temple or eating and drinking at Komachi-dori.

Gourmet

Tokyo Izakaya

Japanese izakaya restaurants offer a wide variety of menu items at reasonable prices! First, taste with a beer while picking up sashimi, yakitori and other dishes! After that, “ma-ma” and “ottoto! ” are the watchwords for sake. It is good to relax, but it is also chic to hopping from one izakaya to another without staying too long!

Japan is full of delicious foods such as sushi, sashimi, tempura, ramen, yakitori, and eel! Plan carefully what you will eat!
