Sakura is one of the main symbols of Japan

When I travel in Japan I see many different and amazing things. Every day is full of new impressions and images, so when I’m falling asleep after a day of my journey, images change in my head like a colorful kaleidoscope. Throughout a day's trip, I visit various places, meet people, try food that is unusual for me by its look and taste. In another aspect, my impression of Japan is the mixture of very modern and very old, futuristic, and traditional things that exist side by side forming quite an intricate picture of life in Japan.

That is true. Even myself found that Japan is very interesting. Fall in love even my journey quite short and can't forget every single corner that I have visited.
