The scenes of futuristic Shinkansen ‘bullet trains’ and neon lights juxtapose with more traditional scenes, ceremonies-old traditions and beautiful shrines and temples.

The Japanese technology industry’s innovations and reputation for quality mean it still competes in an increasingly competitive global market. That’s not to say it hasn’t had a few hiccups in the past decade or so.
