Abstract:
What is Japan? It is everything new and modern: the Tokyo Sky Tree, 634 metres high; amazing camera and phones; karaoke and manga; trains going past at 300 kilometres an hour. And it is everthing timeless too: beautiful palaces; high mountains and hot springs; cherry blossom; queit gardens with water and trees. Here the past meets the future all the time. From sumo wrestlers to robots, Japan has something amazing for everybody.
