Why is Japan so interesting?By Angelica Malin
Those who have ever visited this country admit they have traveled to a different dimension. Every detail in Japan is interesting. Fantastic skyscrapers exist along with ancient traditions.
Unwind in the traditional hot springs
For example, local residents adore swimming in Onsen. The islands have many thermal springs around volcanoes. Visitors leave their shoes at the entrance, change their clothes to a yukata and perform ablutions using a wooden scoop. Then, they immerse in hot water. The best pools are located in the open air. You can enjoy everything there: comfort for your body, the view of the surrounding “Paleozoic” landscape, and high skies. After this ritual, both your soul and body are reborn and ready to take new paths and make discoveries.

Their entire environment works this way starting with natural beauty and finishing with beauty created by the country’s hardworking citizens.
