passport to Japan comes with an invitation to explore one of the most fascinating and enigmatic countries on earth. From the rural backblocks, where time seems to have been frozen in a samurai-era bubble, to the endearingly bizarre street theatre of Tokyo, everything seems a mystery to the Western visitor. Unravelling the mystery is where the real fun begins. One preconception that visitors have to get over is the notion that Japan is expensive. This certainly used to be true, but the Australian dollar has risen rapidly against the Japanese currency. In 2000, you got 56 Yen for an Aussie dollar, but the rate in April this year was 96 Yen to the dollar. Japan could now even be considered a bargain destination, particularly if you stay at inexpensive ryokan or minshuku (traditional hotels), which typically cost from A$45 to A$80 per person per night. Also, national chains of fast food diners such as Matsuya, Yoshinoya and Osho serve chicken curry, udon noodles and other popular JapaneseChinese dishes for under ¥500 (A$6). A
This is how the magazine would look - folded in two - when all the pages have been written! A mesmerising mix of old and new, mystery and meaning, Japan has something to satisfy every cultural palate.

cup of coffee costs just ¥180 (under A$2) at the Doutour coffee-shop chain (look for the yellow and black coffee bean insignia). Japan’s many highlights include the World Heritage city of Kyoto (Japan’s former capital), the temples of Nara (the eastern terminus of the mediaeval Great Silk Road) and in the deep south, the outstanding natural treasures of Yakushima Island, home to the world’s oldest cedar trees. These are just a few of the wonders of this country that amply rewards extensive exploration, and one of the best ways to do this is with a Japan Rail Pass. Japan’s extensive rail network is the fastest way to get around the country, and a rail pass can save a lot of money. The city of Kyoto was made famous in the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. When the young geisha Sayuri first ventures out onto the rooftops of Kyoto, she encounters a rustic 1930s cityscape, parts of which have remained unchanged to the present day. Part of the scene is the Goju-no-to pagoda of Toji Temple, resplendent against the setting sun. The pagoda is still in the same place near Kyoto’s main railway station, and remains the tallest wooden structure in the country. With over two thousand temples, some of the world’s finest gardens and no fewer than 17 World Heritage sites, Kyoto offers such a visual smorgasbord that it’s easy to gross out on its wonders. It’s best to allow plenty of time to explore, especially to visit some outstanding places not on the usual tourist circuit. Grab a copy of the illustrated guide Must-see in Kyoto (available in Kyoto or through www.amazon.com), an excellent and easy-to-use source of inspiration. Then there is Tokyo, Japan’s mindboggling capital. Realising that “all the world’s a stage”, the citizens of Tokyo certainly know how to enjoy themselves. Harajuku and Shibuya precincts have long been known for their avant-garde ambience, with young people flocking here in an eyedazzling range of costumes and coiffures, to strut their stuff on the world-tourism stage. Besides the trend-setting attractions of Harajuku and Shibuya however, there are a number of mind-boggling new entertainment precincts, including the Roppongi Hills and Odaiba. For now, the newest attraction in Roppongi is the National Art Centre Tokyo (NACT), which opened in January 2007. With 14,000 square metres of exhibition space, NACT lays claim to being the largest art gallery in Japan. Another brand-new precinct is Shiodome, built over old railway yards now covered over. An extensive network of buildings is connected together by sky walkways, giving
pedestrians the surreal feeling of being suspended in space. The biggest shopping space is Caretta Shiodome, with three levels of shops overlooking a spectacular fountain. The Shiodome City Center Tower has two floors of shops below ground and two above ground, with a number of bars and restaurants offering great views from Levels 41 to 42. Despite Japan’s reputation as the world capital for consumer electronic goods, the 250-plus shops of the Akihabara precinct may come as a letdown to foreign visitors. Most of the state-of-tomorrow’s-art techno-wonders come with a hefty price tag, or verge on the kitsch. But there are occasional delights to be encountered, such as the amazing acrobatic robot Kondo, at

Though we’ve been enjoying it at the cinema since 1922, there’s something still very exciting about 3D movies, even in 2011. Could it be the increasing amount of quality movies filmed or converted to 3D in post-production – or is it the fact that 3D TVs have finally moved beyond the cinema to our living rooms? In reality, one feeds the other – but the fact is, the idea of enjoying 3D movies at home is quite an attractive one. Just as Blu-ray has brought the quality cinema experience of full high-definition (HD) picture rolling at 24 frames per second and lossless audio home, Blu-ray 3D has provided that added kick. But, if you’ve been waiting to see if the current 3D revolution goes the way of the dodo, pause no more. 3D is not going anywhere, says Despicable Me and Ice Age producer Christopher Meledandri. “It’s here to stay for films that organically lend themselves to it,” he says. “I think the audience will quickly distinguish between what is genuinely a real 3D experience and what’s like a faux 3D experience.” “If filmmakers continue to explore in the tradition of that kind of creative exploration,” says Meledandri about future 3D development. “I think the audiences will respond. If there are tons of movies that just jump on and convert, I think the audience will become very discerning and they’ll pick and choose.”
3D panel, you will find that plasmas have a slightly higher refresh rate, compared with LCD/LEDs, giving them a slight advantage in displaying fastmoving action. Next, you’ll need a 3D Blu-ray disc player, as Blu-ray 3D discs won’t work in your regular Blu-ray disc player. However, if you have a Sony PlayStation 3, you can upgrade the firmware to reap the benefits and save on purchasing a new 3D Blu-ray disc player. It also allows for 3D gaming. Finally, you’ll need new 3D glasses: LCD active shutter glasses. These state-of-the-art lenses contain a liquid crystal layer, controlled by a transmitter to work in synch with the screen frame rate. It’s quite complex, but they essentially allow each eye to see only the frame intended.
NEED YOU TONIGHT
Once you have the right equipment, the sky is the limit. The releases are coming thick and fast, with 2011 a big year for 3D. However, given that Blu-ray 3D is still new, some movies are released as standalone 3D, while others are packaged on the regular Blu-ray disc, with a viewing menu to switch between 2D and 3D.

As we detailed in our December 2010 issue, to truly immerse yourself in the benefits of the Blu-ray experience, you need to invest in a full HD flat panel TV, Blu-ray disc player, amplifier and speakers. However, if you want to achieve the added dimension of Blu-ray 3D, forget using the traditional 3D glasses. Why? It’s all to do with how 3D images are now produced. As the technology has developed, the very method of producing what’s known as a ‘stereoscopic’ image has changed – even since 2008’s Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and 2009’s Coraline, which came with 3D glasses and were able to be viewed on any television that may be lurking throughout suburbia. Blu-ray 3D utilises a production method known as ‘alternate-frame sequencing’. The movie is filmed, just as it would have been previously, using two cameras – however, the difference is that the images are then placed on a single film strip in alternating order, running at 48 frames a second (double-speed). To play these higher frame rates, you need a full HD 3D TV (or projector) – they simply will not play on a regular flat panel, regardless of brand, resolution or size. If you’re shopping for a
