Japan is a country of such spectacular natural beauty that the four seasons have shaped the very cultural fabric of this ancient nation.

The stark differences between the seasons in Japan result in vivid changes to the trees and the gardens. The pristine white of the snow draped over the bottle green pines and carved stone lanterns in winter contrasts with the warm orange glow of charcoal fires and traditional hotpot dishes such as shabu shabu, sukiyaki, mizutaki and chankonabe, ramen, udon and oden.

With the coming of spring, vivid blue skies replace the drab misty days of late winter and the country comes alive with cherry blossoms on ancient manicured trees. The patience that is necessary for cultivating these magnificent cherry trees and their miniature bonsai cousins over decades is evident in the patient and polite society that has evolved in this tiny country.

In summer the wet season arrives and washes away the fallen petals. The bamboo forests thrive and the deciduous trees develop luxuriant coats of dark green foliage. Summers are hot in Japan and after the rains a steamy sultry atmosphere descends on the country. The famous moss gardens thrive and the locals visit the temples and enjoy traditional cool dishes such as soumen and soba (cold noodles) and shaved ice, fruit and syrup, hiyayakko (chilled tofu), seaweed salads and sushi.

A welcome cool change rolls across the country as autumn approaches and people begin to promenade in the cool night air. There are traditional harvest festivals and others commemorating ages past, night fairs, colourful lights and tantalizing street stalls. As the days shorten there is a spectacular appearance of vibrant orange and red autumn colours.

Electricity Japan operates on 100 volts, A.C. 50-60MHz. Australia and Central Europe (220V) N.America (120V). Dual type of electrical appliances for example; hair dryers, travel irons and shavers will therefore be handy. The power outlets are a 2-pin-flat blade plugs, (straight up and down), similar to the US, therefore if you plan to take electronic appliances it is advisable to carry a travel adaptor with you and a transformer may be necessary.

TransportThe railway system in Japan has a reputation for punctuality and safety. Tickets for short distances are available from ticket machines that are installed at each train station whereas tickets for long distances and reservations are dealt with at ticket offices at major stations.

FoodIn recent years, Japanese cuisine has become more and more popular around the world as a healthy diet. Although you may have tried Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and other delights many times in Australia, it will be a unique opportunity while you are in Japan to sample the most authentic Japanese cuisine made from the freshest ingredients, from the oceans to the mountains. When in Japan, do as the Japanese do. Indulge yourself in tasting authentic Japanese cuisine with Japanese sake. Cheers, Kampai!
