Sia che finiate per fotografare una riproduzione della Torre Eiffel o che vi ritroviate a fare surf in una piscina con le onde, sia che passiate le notti nei love hotel oppure vi pigiate nei capsule hotel, cercate di venire con la mentalità più aperta possibile e preparatevi a restare stupefatti. Visti i cittadini italiani non necessitano del visto per soggiorni inferiori ai 90 giorni. Occorre però avere il biglietto di andata e ritorno o di proseguimento del viaggio. Il passaporto dovrà essere valido per tutta la durata del soggiorno. Rischi sanitari vaccinazioni consigliate: difterite e tetano, epatite virale B, encefalite giapponese B. In linea generale si può affermare che l'acqua del rubinetto è sicura e potabile in tutto il Giappone. 1 Il rischio di encefalite giapponese B esiste in tutte le aree rurali, ma è più alto nella parte occidentale del paese. Nel Giappone occidentale la stagione a rischio va da luglio a ottobre. Sull'isola di Ryuku (Okinawa) la stagione pericolosa va da aprile a dicembre. Altri rischi: mal di montagna (Monte Fuji) Fuso orario nove ore avanti rispetto al meridiano di Greenwich Elettricità 100V; 50 Hz (Tokyo e Giappone orientale), 60 Hz (Giappone occidentale) Pesi e misure sistema metrico decimale Con i suoi cieli limpidi e i ciliegi in fiore, la primavera (da marzo a maggio) è probabilmente la stagione più celebrata in Giappone, ma coincide con il periodo delle vacanze giapponesi e, di conseguenza, molte delle località più rinomate tendono a essere piene di turisti locali.

This treasured textile is so popular that many high-class overseas brands order it. Messages of encouragement for the revitalization of Hyogo. A region full of character There are many places in Hyogo that are filled with such great character and charm. I work at the Hyogo Performing Arts Center, which was built in Nishinomiya to symbolize the region’s recovery from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. As the center’s artistic director, it is my job to use music to bring a richer future to the people and towns in our region. I hope to continue supplying these ‘vitamins to nourish the soul’ into the future, so that this theater may be a place full of charm for people to gather. Yutaka Sado Artistic Director & Conductor, Hyogo Performing Arts Center My precious home town I grew up in Hyogo. It’s a place that offers the benefits of big cities as well as the natural environment, with the sea and the mountains in close proximity.
