 | | Japan is a complex country where the most extreme modernity coexists with an ancient and refined culture. |
 | | Besides the hyper-active city life, there is the serenity of the gardens, the austere elegance of the temples, and a general appreciation of esthetics, which are so well expressed in Kyoto. |
 | | Although it is sometimes a strange and disconcerting place, the country is free of petty crime, dishonesty, litter, and rudeness. |
