Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture; on the one hand it is steeped in the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years; on the other it is a society in a continual state of rapid flux, with continually shifting fads and fashions and technological development that constantly pushes back the boundaries of the possible. This is part of what makes it such a fascinating country to visit. If you are looking for something different you are sure to find it here!

Japan is famous for its supposed ethnic and social homogeneity, but there is much more to the story of the Japanese people than this popular myth. Today's vision of Japanese society includes minority groups that historically have been sidelined, such as the Ainu of Hokkaido and the Ryukyuans of Okinawa, as well as Koreans, Chinese, Brazilians and many more.

For centuries Japan has operated with a syncretic belief system: Shinto and Buddhist rituals coexisting side-by-side with increasing influence from other religions. This is why they say that in Japan, people are born Shinto, get married Christian and die Buddhist.

Traditional sports
Sport plays a significant part in the fabric of modern day Japanese life. From a young age children join school teams, instilling a sense of camaraderie, pride, hard work and dedication. Though modern sports such as baseball, badminton, tennis and football are popular, Japan is perhaps better known for sports with a more ancient, traditional profile.

Japanese food
Japanese cuisine is one of the best things about a trip to Japan. In fact, for many visitors it's the main event! Though Japan is principally famous for dishes like sushi, rice, noodles tempura, Kobe beef & teriyaki chicken - there is a veritable plethora of other superb dishes out there to try.

In Japan, you'll hear lots of different words for green tea. One of the most common you're likely to hear is matcha, which refers to the finely ground, powdered tea that is used in Japanese tea ceremony. You can find all kinds of matcha-flavoured products in Japan, from a matcha latte at Starbucks to matcha-flavoured ice cream, chocolate and all kinds of sweets.

Though we think of a geisha as an elegant figure with white make-up, red lips, an elaborate hairstyle and even more elaborate kimono, this popular image is actually more typical of a maiko, or trainee geisha. Fully qualified geisha are more likely to dress in subdued colours and wear natural make-up, relying on skill rather than appearance to entertain their clients.
