<div style="text-align: justify; ">The Tokyo Skytree is a television broadcasting tower and landmark of Tokyo. It is the centerpiece of the Tokyo Skytree Town in the Sumida City Ward. With a height of 634 meters (634 can be read as "Musashi", a historic name of the Tokyo Region), it is the tallest structure in Japan and the second tallest in the world at the time of its completion, It’s completed in 2012. A large shopping complex with aquarium is located at its base.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">The Tokyo Skytree is its two observation decks which offer spectacular views out over Tokyo. The two enclosed decks are located at heights of 350 and 450 meters respectively, making them the highest observation decks in Japan and some of the highest in the world. Tembo Deck, the lower of the two decks is 350 meters high and spans three levels with great views from all of its floors. A second set of elevators connects the Tembo Deck to the 450 meter high Tembo Gallery. Dubbed "the world's highest skywalk", the Tembo Gallery consists of a sloping spiral ramp that gains height as it circles the tower. The construction of the steel and glass tube allows visitors to look down from the dizzying height of the tower and out over the Kanto Region to spectacular distances.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify; ">Cruise on Lake Ashi provides a beautiful view of Lake Ashi, a lake formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano’s last eruption 3,000 years ago. Today, Lake Ashi is often pictured with Mount Fuji in the background as a symbol of Hakone. The best views of the lake in combination with Mt. Fuji can be enjoyed from Moto-Hakone, Hakone Detached Palace Garden, and from sightseeing boats cruising the lake. Note however, that clouds and poor visibility often block the view of Mt. Fuji, and you must consider yourself very lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Colder seasons and early mornings and late evenings often provide better views of the mountain. A boat cruise from one end of the lake to the other takes roughly 30 minutes. At the northern end of the lake, the Hayakawa River runs through Miyanoshita.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">One of Japan's finest and most famed winter illuminations with over 5.8 million LEDs, lighting up the darkness of a chilly winter night, creating romantic images of mountains, oceans, flowers, shapes and figures among immense flower gardens, along with open-air hot spring foot baths and spas, fine restaurants and shops.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">That’s the scene at Nabana No Sato, a family-oriented theme park abundant in facilities and beauty located in Kuwana City, next to Nagoya. The dazzling display happens every winter!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regular illuminated attractions include the walk-through Tunnel of Light, very popular with romantically linked couples, the Cloud of Lights, and every year one, of the major flower garden areas is transferred into a fairyland-like dazzling display. Previous themes include "Nature", "Waterfalls", "Aurora" and "Flowers".</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Winter visitors will want to rug up well, as Nagashima can become very cold, with the occasional snowfall not out of the ordinary. In fact, snowfall could well be a welcome bonus, as the light-reflecting speckles of snow would accentuate the beauty of the park.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On a chilly winter’s night, it won’t be the cold that gives you goosebumps, but the amazing illuminated spectacle before you. With the flick of a switch, the night becomes an oasis of light.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; ">Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park is one of the most prominent features of the city. The park's main facility is the Peace Memorial Museum. Consisting of two buildings, the museum surveys the history of Hiroshima and the advent of the nuclear bomb. Its main focus though is on the events of August 6: the dropping of the bomb and its outcome in human suffering. The personal details displayed are quite upsetting and serve to remind that we should not take peace for granted. The A-Bomb Dome, also known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is what remains of the former Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. The building served as a location to promote Hiroshima's industries. When the bomb exploded, it was one of the few buildings to remain standing and remains so today. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the A-Bomb Dome is a tangible link to Hiroshima's unique past.<br></p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Dōtonbori or Dōtombori is a district in Osaka, Japan. Known as one of Osaka's principal tourist and nightlife areas, the area runs along the Dōtonbori canal from Dōtonboribashi Bridge to Nipponbashi Bridge in the Namba district of the city's Chūō ward.</div>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The Arashiyama Bamboo Path is a short 500 meter path through the Sagano Bamboo Forest that's well maintained with attractive thatch fences complete with little doors for small animals. The bamboo surrounding the path is regularly harvested for crafts that are available from small shops in the area. However, the bamboo is allowed to grow to its full height. The pathway is remarkably quiet at times and somewhat busy at others. It's usually possible to get a photo of the pathway empty if you wait out the crowds. The area around the path is populated with small temples and quiet streets that have a village-like atmosphere.</p>

<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Todaiji is one of the most impressive temples in Japan, and plays a major role in Japanese history through the ages.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">You approach Todaiji Temple through the Nandaimon (Great Southern Gate), where you are confronted by the fierce Nio figures that guard the approach to the Great Buddha. Carved by famous sculptors Unkei and Kaikei, around the 12th century AD, they are two of the finest examples in Japan. The Daibutsuden (Great Buddha Hall), one of the world’s largest wooden structures, is breathtaking in its scale and architecture. Standing in front of the hall, you will see a large octagonal bronze lantern: one of the temple’s oldest treasures.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Completed around 752 during the Nara Period, this World Heritage temple was commissioned by Emperor Shomu to bring peace to a tumultuous period: in addition to losing his infant son, there had been a smallpox epidemic, crop failures and an attempted coup.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The Daibutsu (Great Buddha) is Japan’s largest at 15m high. Cast from over 400 tons of bronze and originally gilded, the whole nation was involved in its construction. Several attempts at casting the Buddha failed before success was finally achieved in 752. Ambassadors from as far away from India, Persia and China attended the dedication ceremony and the gifts they brought with them were kept in the Shoso-in treasure house, behind the hall. Be sure to walk behind the statue to see the models of how the temple site originally looked.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The grounds around the main temple are also well worth visiting. There are extensive gardens and several museums and treasure halls. To the right of the main temple, the Nigatsudo hall features some fine Buddhist carvings and sweeping views over Nara. From there the path continues to Kasugataisha Shrine.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Also nearby are the Isuien traditional Japanese garden, Kohfukuji Temple and its renown Buddhist statue museum, and the Nara National Museum, with its superb collections of Nara Period art.</span></div>

The name Kinkaku-ji means the Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Constructed in Kyoto's northern hills in 1398 by Yoshimitsu, the third Ashikaga shogun, it was once part of a much larger villa complex. When he died it became a Zen temple in accordance with his will. Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex. It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955. We provides outside view of the temple. Each floor represents a different style of architecture. The first floor is built in the Shinden style used for palace buildings during the Heian Period, and with its natural wood pillars and white plaster walls contrasts yet complements the gilded upper stories of the pavilion. Statues of the Shaka Buddha (historical Buddha) and Yoshimitsu are stored in the first floor. Although it is not possible to enter the pavilion, the statues can be viewed from across the pond if you look closely, as the front windows of the first floor are usually kept open. The second floor is built in the Bukke style used in samurai residences, and has its exterior completely covered in gold leaf. Inside is a seated Kannon Bodhisattva surrounded by statues of the Four Heavenly Kings; however, the statues are not shown to the public. Finally, the third and uppermost floor is built in the style of a Chinese Zen Hall, is gilded inside and out, and is capped with a golden phoenix. The third level is built in the Zen style, with cusped windows and ornamentation. Appropriately, it houses an Amida triad and twenty-five Bodhisattvas. A Chinese phoenix crowns the eaves.

<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The great Torii gate in the distance with the shrine behind is one of your first images of Miyajima Island as you approach on the ferry but you’ll see it much closer and more clearly once on the island.&nbsp; During the high tide it appears to be floating in the sea and at low tide you can walk out to it and pass through the gate.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Itsukushima Shrine</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The island takes its name because of this shrine. Originally named Itsukushima the same as the shrine and subsequently Miyajima which literally means Shrine Island.&nbsp; The floating torii was the entrance gate for this shrine, once accessed by boat directly to the shrines own pier.&nbsp; The shrines spirituality is intense, even crowded with people so it’s not surprising that the island has been recognised as a spiritual place for so long. The shrine was believed to have been first founded in 593 although the first documented record isn’t until 811 and the basis of the current design dates back to 1168.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Omotesando Shopping Street (If Time Permits)</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">The shopping street between the ferry terminal and the shrine is a popular spot for buying souvenirs (omiyage), having a meal or picking up a snack.&nbsp; There’s even a little spa where you can have a fish nibbling pedicure if you’ve been meaning to try this unique treatment.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The SCMaglev and Railway Park is a railway museum owned by Central Japan Railway Company in Nagoya, Japan. The museum opened on 14 March 2011. The museum features 39 full-size railway vehicles and one bus exhibit, train cab simulators, and railway model dioramas.</div>

The Hakone Ropeway is the name of an aerial lift, as well as its operator. The funitel line links between Sounzan and Togendai via Owakudani, all within Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan. The line became funitel in 2002, the second of its kind in the nation, after Hashikurasan&nbsp;

<div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Asakusa Sensoji Temple is the oldest and most visited temple around Tokyo. The origin of Asakusa Sensoji Temple dates way back to the 6th century. It is said that in 628,&nbsp; two brothers, the Hinokuma brothers, who were fishing at a river nearby, happened to fish a Buddha statue. The brothers brought the Buddha statue home, rebuilt their home into a temple, and started a temple which later came to be known as Asakusa Sensoji Temple. Asakusa Sensoji Temple is known to bring luck for almost anything: health, studies, love, etc. In front of the main hall of the temple, you will see many people covering themselves with smoke. The smoke they are covering themselves with, is believed to make the part they covered with smoke better. Therefore, many people pat smoke on their head in order to make themselves smarter. Asakusa Sensoji Temple is not just a normal shrine. It has a long path called “Nakamise-dori”, a path jam packed with souvenir stores all along the way to the main hall. You can find anything here: Kimonos, chopsticks, fans, Japanese confectionary, keychains, T-shirts, you name it. Locals tend to buy “Ningyo-yaki”or “Kaminari-Okoshi.” Ningyo-yaki is something like baked pancake dough with red bean paste in it, and Kaminari-Okoshis are Japanese-style rice crispies. The Sensoji Kannon temple is dedicated to Kannon Bosatsu, the Bodhisattva of compassion, and is the most widely visited spiritual site in the world with over 30 million visitors annually.</span><br></div>
