Japan

Japan, known as the Land of the Rising Sun, is an island nation in East Asia made up of thousands of islands, with Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku as the largest. Surrounded by countries like China, Korea, and Russia, Japan blends natural beauty with modern innovation. Its geography is dominated by mountains and forests, and its cities—Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Yokohama—offer a perfect mix of tradition, technology, and culture that continues to attract tourists, students, and expats from all over the world.

Many foreigners choose to live in Japan for its strong economy, high quality of life, and distinct cultural experiences. From tranquil rural villages and hot spring towns to bustling metropolises, Japan offers something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy unique activities such as bathing in onsen, exploring ancient temples, or skiing in Hokkaido’s winter resorts. Despite its advanced infrastructure, Japan retains its deep-rooted traditions and unmatched hospitality, making it a truly distinctive destination.

Gambling in Japan operates under strict regulations. Only government-approved betting on sports such as horse, boat, and motor racing is permitted, along with the famous pachinko game, which is classified as entertainment rather than gambling. Recently, Japan has begun introducing integrated resort casinos to attract international visitors, marking a new era in its gaming industry while maintaining responsible gaming practices.
