Located to the northeast of the Asian mainland, an archipelago of over 6800 islands including the four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, much of Japan lies within the temperate zone, and enjoys four distinct seasons, making it an ideal business and leisure tourism destination.
Japan's cities are lively and sophisticated, a mix of ancient and modern. Beyond the cities lies a wealth of spectacular natural beauty. A mountainous country, with many 3000 meter high peaks, including Mount Fuji, Japan offers natural attractions such as the many thousands of hot springs, ideal for post-convention relaxation.
