Japan is a country of opposites, though steeped in ancient traditions they simultaneously make waves innovating and redefining the world. This blend of both worlds happens so seamlessly, you’d likely not perceive it anywhere else. The people live by the dictum of ‘omotenashi’, roughly meaning ‘hospitality’, but in practice so much more. The cherry blossoms of Japan are known as ‘Sakura’ and are considered to be a symbol of spring, fragility and beauty of life.
