Condé Nast Traveler has just published the results of the Readers' Choice Awards for one of the world's most attractive countries. This year, 526,518 people took part in the survey, putting Japan on top.
Modern megacities, historic temples, picturesque gardens and pristine beaches - Japan surprises and delights with its diversity, attracting travelers from all over the world. Timeout writes about why Japan became the winner and what other countries were recognized in this ranking.
Magical Japan is an island nation, a source of eternal inspiration, where pink cherry blossom clouds soar into the sky and Shinto temples touch with their mysterious images. Every corner here is filled with the spirit of fairy tales - from futuristic megacities to hot springs, from majestic mountains to endless beaches and picturesque islands.
Recently, the authorities have been trying to effectively manage the flow of tourists, while maintaining uniqueness and harmony. In the near future, travelers will be able to use a convenient digital visa for a carefree vacation in this fabulous country.
The second place in the ranking belongs to Italy, the cultural capital of Europe. This is a place where the grandeur of Italian architecture and the beauty of nature merge, where every stone is filled with history. Italy is also actively fighting against excessive tourism, offering travelers new routes and unexplored corners of the country.
