    Tourists at  Dotonbori shopping street, Dotonbori is the famous destination for traveling and shopping in Osaka, Japan.
    Eid Al Adha holidays are round the corner, and it’s the right time for UAE residents to fly away on a short, well-deserved break from their daily routines. One such destination is Japan, a land of captivating contrasts and rich traditions. From bustling metropolis to serene countryside, Japan offers an unparalleled travel experience. You can immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of Tokyo's futuristic skyline, discover ancient temples in Kyoto, or soak in the natural beauty of Mount Fuji. Japan's unique blend of modernity and preserved heritage, its warm and courteous people, and its commitment to innovation make it a must-visit destination.

    Tokyo Tower
    As always, planning at least two-three months in advance is best to get the best deals on flights and accommodation. We would also suggest a Singapore stopover so you can get a couple of days there while getting discounts on the connecting flight. Above: Tokyo Tower is a 333-metre-tall communications tower that stands as a symbol of Japan’s historic economic growth. The contrasting red and white of its frame adds a touch of sophistication to one of the world’s greatest metropolises. Image Credit: Pixta
