I've probably already explained a few times what I like here in Japan and what fascinates me so much. In addition to the bustling cities and the long and eventful history, it is temples, shrines and gardens in particular that attract me. Architecture and horticulture complement each other wonderfully here in the Land of the Rising Sun and sometimes even seem to be mutually dependent. The charm of the past is often preserved in a very special way in Japan, where the history of this interesting country never seems to get boring. It is integrated into the modern age and, if you look closely enough, is clearly recognizable everywhere. And if you allow yourself to do so, it's really fun to walk in the footsteps of days gone by and dream yourself back to times gone by.
