20 Iconic Images of Japan
<p>Japan is one of the most photographed countries in the world. A quick search on the popular photo sharing site, Flickr.com, returns around 2.2 million images for the term “Japan” and roughly the same number for “USA”. The word “France” produces 3.6 million results.</p>
<p>However, when you compare these figures with annual tourist numbers in the three countries, a different picture emerges. Around 20 million visitors set foot in Japan every year, which pales in comparison with France’s 84 million or the United States’ 77 million visitors (<a href="http://www.e-unwto.org/doi/book/10.18111/9789284418145" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">source</a>).</p>
<p>So there is something more than numbers of people behind the infatuation with Japan in pictures.</p>
<p>Having travelled extensively in the countries mentioned above, and to many other destinations besides, I see several possible reasons for this.</p>
