Land Of The Rising Sun

It's time for the Oriental Express to make its next stop after a long over night journey.

Having traveled throughout the night from Eastern India, we have finally arrived at our third destination. Japan is a wonderful and mysterious land with many magnificent cultural offerings such as origami, manga and sushi. Japan is one of the worlds super powers and makes for a truly sensational place to visit.
