Why go to Japan?

To travel differently, treat yourself to Japan. A change of scenery guaranteed, you are sure to find what you are looking for. The nature is very varied. Activities too. If you are looking for peace and quiet, they will be there for you throughout your stay. If you are fond of turquoise water, white sandy beaches and turtles, you will be pleasantly surprised in the Okinawa region. If you prefer the heights and the snow, a trip to Nagano will fill you up.

When to go to Japan?

Japan, from north to south, can be visited all year round. Each season offers its best to make you live exceptional moments. Summer is marked by heat and humidity. It is the right climate to attend various cultural events such as the "Ashinoko Kosui Matsuri" festival, enjoying the famous Yakitori, a typical Japanese grill with a glass of sake in hand. In autumn, the temperature is milder. Nature offers a colourful spectacle. Spring is the time of cherry blossoms. Tourists rush here to experience their own poetry. If you want to experience your stay in Japan in winter, it is best to discover the North.

The ideal budget for a trip to Japan

Whether it's a custom trip or a tour package, budget is an important element. Japan is an expensive destination. Accommodation and travel expenses can easily escalate. The cost of transportation is calculated according to the distance to be travelled. The farther the destination is, the more expensive it will be. To save money, and to avoid buying several tickets, choose rechargeable cards. And instead of travelling in the daytime, opt for night buses. As far as accommodation is concerned, capsule hotels offer low-cost bunks. As for food, Japanese culinary specialties are diverse and affordable.

Sport is an important part of Australian life. The sports that usually attract the most attention are cricket, swimming and Australian football (footy). Next come tennis and rugby, followed closely by football (soccer). As far as practice is concerned, in addition to the classic water sports (diving, surfing, sailing, lifesaving, …) many Australians are affiliated to Lawn bowling and netball clubs.

It’s almost the end of the year holidays and what could be better than a holiday in the sun, by the sea? But when you don’t have a house by the sea or in a place close to the beach, the solution is renting. There is nothing better than spending your holidays with your family by the sea. Imagine the sea air you smell, the sound of the waves that will rock your night, the softness of the white sand under your feet and the blue as far as the eye can see… The authentic taste of a good dish of cold meats and cheese. A house that reminds you of summer in all seasons, shimmering colours, the warm welcome of the locals. A dream come true, even in the space of a few days. And to be able to experience this, the holiday rental is the most suitable.

There is no shortage of ideas for trips and festivals in France, where cultural events irresistibly attract tourists.

Festive events are tending to develop in several French regions in order to showcase them in a significant way on an international level. The aim is to promote cultural treasures. The government is helping to enhance the value of the activities by improving tourism policies and offering promotions for professionals in the sector.
