Japan combines densely populated metropolises with quiet countryside within an hour by train, thanks to a rail network that makes having a car almost unnecessary. It is a country where the punctuality of public transport makes it possible to plan packed itineraries with minimal risk of disruption.
The two most popular seasons are the spring cherry blossom and the autumn foliage, both short-lived and extremely busy.
