With as many restaurants run by robots as ancient temples, there is no denying that Japan is a country of contradictions. So how should we begin to describe this indescribable place? Try starting with a day in Osaka. Contemplate the solemn history of Hiroshima before weaving your way into South Korea for Busan’s temples by the sea. Sail back to Japan for an overnight in Kanazawa, plus a long stay in Aomori. Last but definitely not least is Hakodate, home to the Onuma National Park and its abundant wildlife.
