Japan is one of the oldest civilizations with an incredibly rich past. It also has stunning scenery, full of intricate temple gardens, bamboo groves, and, of course, mountains. Not to mention all the ramen, sushi, udon, yakiniku, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and many more foods you can eat in between these places.
However, Japan is also one of those countries that need some serious money to be fully appreciated. It's a bucket list destination for many people from all over the world but still remains highly unexplored because of budget constraints. From transportation to lodging, everything is quite costly there.
Enter 'Japan Inside.' This online publisher calls itself the place to discover and see the beauty of the Land of the Rising Sun, and it's hard to argue with that claim when you see its social media feed.
