Among other (generally clad) attractions, of course. The Lonely Planet’s Bluelist, based largely on a "series of great picks by well-traveled people," lists Japan at number 4 among the top 10 travel destinations, after Australia, India and the US.
"Japan is seen by travelers from Europe, the U.S. and Australia as being about as different as you can get on Earth..."
You can say that again.

Different? No kidding. I never get tired of your monkeys in the yard stories. That's so exotic to me. The best I can do in New York City are squirrels and the occasional owl.
Since I've never been to Japan, I couldn't say first hand; but it's always held a certain kind of mystery for me. I'm attracted to it's beauty and it's art. Different to be sure....a whole other world to me.
Born and raised in upstate New York, traveled for a decade after college, lived in various places around the world, keeping a journal. Settled in Kyoto in 1980, moved to this mountainside above Lake Biwa in 1995. Started Pure Land Mountain in April 2002.

Someday I am going to get there! Had a small chance before I retired, but I did not want to wait 5 years to go.
After I had lived in Japan for two years, *America* seemed about as different as you can get on Earth...
