Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai, a World Heritage-listed station, is a magnificent building that blends Victorian Gothic and Indian traditional styles, and serves as a busy terminal used by millions of passengers. India is a country with extraordinary cultural and historical depth, attracting travelers with world heritage sites such as the Taj Mahal. In recent years, with the rise of the IT industry, major cities like Bangalore have seen a rapid increase in modern luxury hotels, contemporary restaurants, and massive shopping malls. Traditional spice cuisine, authentic Ayurveda treatments, and yoga experiences are also major attractions. Prices are relatively low, making it suitable for long trips. Direct flights from Tokyo (Narita and Haneda) to Delhi and Mumbai are frequent, with flight times of about 10 hours. While concerns such as safety, hygiene, noise, and chaos exist, even those elements are absorbed into the country’s overwhelming energy and vitality—offering a powerful extraordinary experience unlike anywhere else.
