Cultural holidays in Japan
Japan cultural holidays are for many travellers like stepping into a different world entirely. Learn the intricate rules behind a traditional tea ceremony, how to tie a kimono perfectly, how to assemble a bento box lunch. You can also explore ancient capitals, walk in the footsteps of samurai, visit World Heritage castles and temples, and watch a sumo wrestlers’ training session. Japanese culture is utterly fascinating.
