Japan, known as Nihon or Nippon (日本) in Japanese, is an island nation in East Asia.
Japan has one of the world's best transport systems, and getting around is usually a breeze, with the train being overwhelmingly the popular option. Although traveling around Japan is expensive when compared to other Asian countries, there are a variety of passes that can be used to limit the damage.
Famous Japan's tourist spots:
88 Temple Pilgrimage — an arduous 1,647 km trail around the island of Shikoku
Chugoku 33 Kannon Temple Pilgrimage
Narrow Road to the Deep North — a route around northern Japan immortalized by Japan's most famous haiku poet

Hong Kong Travel
Hong Kong Travel - Almost no portrait of Hong Kong could be complete without its magnificent skyline. Best is to go to the Avenue of Stars at Tsim Sha Tsui or Taiping Hill. You may choose to take the Star Ferry which runs frequently from Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Wan Chai, Kowloon City, and Hung Hom. Hong Kong Tourism Board offers many free walking tours, including the Nature Kaleidoscope Walk and Architecture Walk.
Hong Kong Disneyland opened on September 12, 2005. It is on Lantau Island, about 12km east of the Hong Kong International Airport, and may be reached via the MTR Disneyland Resort Line from Sunny Bay Station (note that to get to Disneyland from the airport, you must make two connections, the first at Tsing Yi and the second at Sunny Bay; in this case it probably would make more sense to just take a taxi). Though significantly smaller in size than other Disney parks elsewhere, it does offer some great attractions (including "Space Mountain" roller coaster, "Festival of the Lion King" stage show, "Golden Mickeys" stage show, "Mickey's PhilharMagic 4D" show, and an updated "It's a Small World" boat ride) and very short queues most of the year (except the week of Chinese New Year). Three new theme lands (Mystic Point, Grizzly Trail, and Toy Story Land) will open in the few years to come, and a tract of land has been reclaimed directly across from the park's entrance, so a second theme park should open there someday. The park also features two hotels, Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Hollywood Hotel.
