That was what drove me to visit areas that I’d never been before, study history and culture, as well as to enjoy Sake from all parts of Japan.<br><br> Now that we have close to 20 million travelers to Japan each year, I thought of this homepage, to share all I have learnt in my quest to rediscover Japan. I am hopeful that it will also be of interest to our visitors from abroad. </span></font></font></p> </BODY>
