Destination Japan

Destinations in Japan

Japan consists of the four largest islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, which collectively account for 97 per cent of the country’s land area. The Ryukyu Islands, including Okinawa are a chain of islands south of Kyushu. Collectively, these islands are often known as the Japanese Archipelago. This geographical division greatly enhances the tourism experience as the differing regions offer travellers different climatic and geographical conditions and a wide variety of cultural, social and gourmet experiences.
