From Wikipedia: Japan, known as Nihon or Nippon (日本) in Japanese, is an island nation in East Asia. Its insular character has allowed it to develop a unique and very intricate culture, while its closeness to other ancient Far Eastern cultures, in particular China, has left lasting influence. Despite belonging to a forever warring nation, both internally and overseas, Japan's people had historically always placed emphasis on inner balance, tranquility and natural beauty. These traditional values have become increasingly important now that Japan has grown to be one of the world's most densely-populated countries, and its legendary work ethic makes life in its cities quite hectic.

Note to self
Kyoto was one of the original targets for the nuclear bomb that fell on Hiroshima. Kyoto is a pretty city, lacking many of the high rises of neighbouring Tokyo. Aside from the obvious tourist attractions here I highly advise visiting the deer in Nara and from there taking a train ride to the beautiful Mount Koya in Koyasan with its Buddhist temples and graveyards. Soak in the Dogo Onsen - the inspiration for the Ghibli movie Spirited Away!
