Japan, located in East Asia, is an extraordinarily beautiful island nation famed for its diverse blend of centuries-old traditions and cutting-edge technology. Known for its impressive cluster of skyscrapers in Tokyo, the ancient temples and geishas of Kyoto, the mesmerizing cherry blossoms in Hakone, and the delectable sushi and ramen, Japan offers a wealth of unrivaled experiences. The country is renowned for its impressive Shinkansen, or bullet trains, that deliver travelers across its four main islands while providing breathtaking scenic views. Japan also stands out for its respect for nature, which is reflected in its numerous stunning gardens and gorgeous Mount Fuji, a dormant volcano and the country's highest peak.

Japan

Located in Western Honshu, the largest island of Japan, Okayama is famous for its pristine landscape, traditional culture and historic landmarks. Known as the "Land of Sunshine," the city benefits from a mild climate, allowing visitors to explore its charm all year round. Okayama is renowned for Koraku-en, one of Japan's three best landscape gardens, an exquisite place with streams, ponds, and tea houses to relax and enjoy the view. The city is also home to the renowned Okayama Castle, also known as "Crow Castle" due to its black exterior, which beautifully contrasts with the surrounding greenery. Furthermore, Okayama is the gateway to numerous art islands like Naoshima and Teshima, making the city a cultural hub. Famous for its unique local specialty, the succulent and sweet Okayama peaches, it offers an immersive gastronomic journey for food enthusiasts.

Okayama

Okayama is a small but wonderful part of Japan. The city is a sister city to Plovdiv and I went there as a part of a cultural exchange programme. I had a host family which welcomed me very warmly. Japanese people are extremely kind and helpful, they are not very open with their emotions but you can gain their attachment with respect and kindness. I felt extremely safe but I was never by myself or out at night.
