JAPAN
I spent three weeks exploring Japan’s cities, countrysides and breweries. It’s the nicest place on earth, and a country you can’t help but adore. The first thing you’re struck by is the unrelenting politeness of its people, the efficiency of its cities, and its mesmerising cultural history. Japan is clean and safe and surprisingly green and lush. Its beer is some of the best in the world. You’ll leave vowing to go back to Japan, besotted by its charm, its people, the snow, and… the food beer, obviously.
