Although Japan is world-famous for its economy, we still know little about all intricacies of this country. Travel literature primarily covers major tourist destinations, while the world is mainly speaking about Japanese vehicles and technologies. We know that Japan is a highly mountainous area and that Fujiyama is the highest mountain and a symbol of the country, but many of us do not know that there are crowds of professional and amateur hikers on these very mountains, especially during the summer months.

There are more than eight hundred and fifty beaches along coasts, rivers and lakes across Japan that are available and good for swimming. Therefore, your vacation to Japan will be incomplete without enjoying the sun and water on one of them. Many beaches provide excellent opportunities for surfing as well, while in many coastal waters, open to the ocean, the winds build out waves almost everyday that is especially important for surfers.
