Japan Beyond the Stereotypes
Discover Japan beyond the classic tourist routes: a journey through its cultural, natural and climatic diversity
When we think of Japan, cherry blossoms, temples and sushi are often the first things that come to mind. But is that really all there is?
Through photographs, fascinating insights and real-life examples, this presentation will take you on a journey through a surprisingly diverse country, where geography, climate and history have shaped a remarkable variety of cultures, traditions and landscapes.
An invitation to look beyond the famous Golden Route and discover a richer, more diverse Japan that often lies beyond the familiar stereotypes.
