The Philippines, which consists of 7,641 islands, is dotted with beautiful beach resorts. There is a wide variety of resorts, from luxury resorts to rustic, tropical resorts that make the most of the natural beauty. The Philippines is a premium resort island where you can enjoy a wide variety of activities, including marine sports, spas, beauty treatments, and shopping. The Philippines is a very unique country historically, where the lifestyles and cultures of Europe (Spain), America, and Asia come together. The capital, Manila, is both an international metropolis and a city with over 800 years of history. There are many historical sites in Manila and other parts of the Philippines that remind us of the past. It takes about 4 hours to get from Tokyo to Manila, and the distance between Yonaguni Island, the westernmost point of Japan, and Iami Island, the northernmost island of the Philippines, is only 480 km, with only a one-hour time difference. The Philippines is also a country with deep ties to Japan, with continued trade since the Sengoku period, the Red Seal ship trade during the Edo period, Christians such as Takayama Ukon who were exiled to the Philippines, and Japanese immigration to Davao in the south of the Philippines that began in 1903.
