Japan is a unique country - a country of sushi, TVs and a strong economy. Japan's ancient culture is diverse and mysterious; the country itself is like one huge open-air museum. Some say Japan is a country of contrasts. Its modern image bears this out entirely: temples standing alongside modern skyscrapers, the popularity of Mount Fuji alongside modern electronics. Every spring, thousands of Japanese head to the cherry-blossom parks to soak up the beautiful spring atmosphere and the delicate pink of the cherry blossoms. Mount Fuji is hugely popular, appearing on countless everyday items: postcards, paintings, vases.
