The Wanderlust rating is based on the readers' opinion about the most attractive routes, as well as about the cities, countries and tour operators that are most in demand. At the end of 2011, another poll was conducted, according to which Japan became the absolute favorite among readers in the ranking of the best tourist destinations. The second popular destination in the top list of Wanderlust is Bhutan, and New Zealand and Burma have divided the third and fourth places

After a year of the terrible earthquake and tsunami that devastated the north-eastern territories of the country, Japan is again ready to receive tourists with open arms. Perhaps, right now, tourists have a rare chance to visit Japan, without experiencing any inconvenience from colliding with a crowd of foreign tourists. Sakura loving, visiting ancient temples, relaxing at hot springs and getting to know Japanese cuisine - everything that everyone expects from traveling long distances is sure to be found in Japan.

In addition to winning the ranking of tourist destinations, Japan also got the second place in the category "The most original city." According to readers of the magazine, Kyoto is recognized as one of the most interesting cities to visit. Only Laotian Luang Prabang was able to overtake Kyoto

In the "Best Airport" category, Narita International Airport took the 4th place, and the first place was shared by Bhutan Paro Airport and Singapore Changi Airport.
