With only a 2-hour plane ride between the two destinations it is a holiday just waiting to be enjoyed. Why spend all that money for a flight half way across the world to only tap into one destination? You\u2019d be crazy not to take advantage of the amazing countries in Asia who sit so close to each other. By visiting both Japan AND South Korea, you have two different countries with diverse landscapes to explore, different cultural traditions to soak up and of course two entirely different types of cuisine to digest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train.jpg\" class=\"broken_link\"><noscript><img width=\"730\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train.jpg\" alt=\"Bullet train in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-4027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train-345x194.jpg 345w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\"><\/noscript><img width=\"730\" height=\"410\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20730%20410%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Bullet train in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-4027 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20730%20410%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train-345x194.jpg 345w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bullet_train.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Bullet train in Japan<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Combine your japan holiday&#8230;.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest.jpg\" class=\"broken_link\"><noscript><img width=\"730\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest.jpg\" alt=\"Bamboo groves of Arashiyama, Kyoto \" class=\"wp-image-4025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest-345x194.jpg 345w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\"><\/noscript><img width=\"730\" height=\"410\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20730%20410%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Bamboo groves of Arashiyama, Kyoto \" class=\"wp-image-4025 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20730%20410%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest-345x194.jpg 345w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bamboo_forest.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Bamboo groves of Arashiyama, Kyoto<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan is like nowhere else in the world and is an immensely popular country to visit. Tokyo is home to robots, gadgets and all things tech as well as quirky cafes popping up on every second street where you can taste popular local dishes such as Monjayaki, Soba noodles, Yakitori and a plethora of other delicious meals. In contrast to Japan\u2019s futuristic qualities it\u2019s isolated history and rich culture has enabled this unique civilisation to blossom over the years.
