ABOUTJapan’s History

Japan has a long history stretching from the Paleolithic era to the present day. Temples and shrines have deep histories and can be found all across the country. Castles and stone walls offer a glimpse into the battles of their time. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan went to war with the world, and some of the buildings from that era can still be seen today. Seeing these places and learning about them is a great way to understand Japan more deeply.

The Importance of Seeing It in Person

Seeing these places in person — knowing that certain events actually happened here — helps you understand history more deeply, while also making you want to learn even more.
