The hundreds of castles found in Germany, as well as being the birthplace of Oktoberfest, are also not to be overlooked. If it's the bigger cities that are of interest, Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg are but a few of the many places to see!

As a major economic power, Japan's island-like size is not to be underestimated!
