Holidays in Japan

Japan is a popular place for families to visit. Its interesting and unique features and culture make it an enjoyable and educational holiday. There are many fun and interesting places to visit, famous landforms and delicious foods and to experience.

If you were to travel to Japan, the best and most efficient way to get there would be by plane. A good option is to fly in to Osaka (Honshu) and experience the artificial island where the airport is located. This island was created because of the shortage of space on the mainland. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge. 

There are many common ways to travel around Japan. The usual car, taxi and bus transportation is, of course, an option. But, if you wanted a change, there is a traditional Japanese way of travelling around the country. Bullet trains are a quick and easy option for getting around. Travelling on these very fast trains are a very traditional Japanese experience. And, these trains are never more than a few seconds late. Furthermore, if you really want to experience Japan and do something different, you can catch a train below ground on the longest and deepest railway tunnel in the world (the Seikan tunnel). This track travels to and from Honshu and Hokkaido. Another alternative for transportation is to travel by ferry. This option is available and is great for visiting smaller islands of Japan, the ones that may not be as well known. However, if you would rather stick to the normal way of getting around, by car, bus or taxi, a way to still enjoy the Japanese life is to travel across the longest suspension bridge. This is otherwise known as the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge.

If you are looking for a country to visit that is both educational, interesting, whilst still being fun and exciting, Japan is definitely the place to go. Japan is home to numerous theme parks, including Disneyland, DisneySea and Universal Studios, plus many other attractions, such as aquariums. All three of these places are extremely popular and have very good reputations. Japan also has very interesting religious temples and statues that interest many people. All up, Japan is one of the best places to go when planning a holiday trip. Everyone is kind and polite, their transportation is convenient, different and enjoyable and there are many well-known places to visit and attractions to enjoy.
