Undeniably, Japan, my favorite country on the planet Earth.

Franco-Algerian, I live an endless love story with this country since the first time I went there, at the age of 14, in 1990.

I went there many times, I lived there, and I speak the Japanese language. The magic always works :)

I particularly recommend, by region: 

•   In the Kanto (Tokyo area) 

•  Tokyo:  Meiji-Jingu Shinto Shrine, near Harajuku Subway, traditional Shintoiste  Hie-Jinja Temple surrounded by skyscrapers, near Ginza District, the  improbable Turkish-style mosque near Yoyogi-Shibuya Metro, observatories fabulous Shinjuku Town Hall, Shinjuku Subway, and Yokohama Station 35 minutes from Tokyo by JR train. Take  the opportunity to discover the city of Kamakura, 50 kilometers from  Tokyo, Yokohama being halfway to discover the spectacular Buddha  "outdoor" but also the incredible number of Shinto temples AND other  Buddhist sanctuaries of this small city seaside ancient cultural and spiritual capital of medieval Japan. A marvel. 

•   In Kansai  (Osaka region): The Osaka Castle, set on a lush greenery surrounded by  the skyscrapers of Osaka, the commercial and commercial capital of  Japan, with a Mediterranean spirit!, Then Nara direction, the  ancient spiritual capital of Japan, which, like Kamakura, presents an  incredible number of Shinto temples and Buddhist sanctuaries including  one of the largest Buddha of Japan, in addition to being a wooded and  particularly relaxing city, one of my shots of heart. The castle of the city of Himeji, considered as one of the most beautiful castles of Japan and, for me, of the World. 

•  The  Chugoku region: the city of Matsue, Shimane Prefecture which is  beautiful and near which is the mysterious and fascinating shrine  Izumo-Taisha, one of the most sacred shrines of Japan !!! 

•  This is only a few of my favorites, the list is not exhaustive. Surely, I have traveled in many countries but it is stronger than me, I am passionate about this fascinating country :)
