What do you get when you take a serious Japan

1. Katsura Imperial Villa

Katsura Imperial Villa features what is said to be the most beautiful Japanese garden. The villa and the garden were started by Prince Toshihito and eventually completed by his son in 1645. It was constructed for the Katsura Family, who were members of Japan's Imperial Family. The villa remains in its original form, undamaged by fires, war, or any other forms of destruction. Immense care was taken into the construction of the villa and garden, with every stone and tree being purposefully placed with precise detail. Only the best natural materials were used to construct the villa. A garden path winds around a beautiful lake, with diverse scenery that changes with every step you take. The garden is the most gorgeous in the fall.

Alcohol-free beer has become a sensation in Japan. It all started in 2005 when a restaurant owner took an ordinary soda then known as "Guarana" and changed the name to "Kidsbeer". Sales of this non-alcoholic beer marketed for children completely skyrocketed. Mass-production of Kidsbeer was produced by the Tomomasu company, who made the beverage more beer-like by making it less sweet and more frothy.

With 1 vending machine for every 23 people, Japan has one of the highest vending machine densities in the world.
