Japan has a long and unique history. After the Meiji Age, Japan made rapid industrialization.
This caused rapid population increase and a lot of houses and plants were built. Many roadways and highways were built as well.
Most cities now have modern buildings for office locations and for shopping. In the suburbs of large cities, shopping malls are also there.
Especially in the 50 years after World War II, it seems that the scenery and landscape of Japan has drastically changed.
On the other hand, Japan still has a lot of historical sites and some cities or towns keep an old town atmosphere.
Also, Japan keeps original landscape especially in rural areas.
This page will share such historical sites and places which keep traditional and original landscape of Japan.
Some of them may be unknown for those coming from different countries.
I hope this page will encourage those who are interested in Japan, to travel to such places.
I am happy to support to make travel advice, planning and arrangements.
