If you have ever gone to Japan, you know its a place like no other, it’s the safest place in the whole world, you can walk on the streets at night without having to worry.
Thanks to my job, I was fortunate to visit Japan thrice every year for several years.
The country is renowned for being steeped in a culture that combines both tradition and modernity.
Inspite of being on the bleeding edge of technology, their reverence for natural life enables them to coexist with nature.
On one of my visits I locked my eyes with Mount Fuji.
