>Nature
Japan wins just for it's biodiversity, it's variety of weathers, climates, and ecosystems, and for how beautiful and preserved the natural spaces still are.
>History
Hard choice since Japan's history is fun as fuck, but Italy must be more iconic probably. The Roman Empire was kino.
>Food
Haven't had a chance to taste genuine japanese food so I'll have to choose italian, plus the sauces and the meat and condiments are incredible.
>Cinema
Japan. Italy is a powerhouse in terms of cinema, but Japanese films just have an ethereal beauty to them, specially animated ones.
>Music
Japan. Opera is incredible but Japan literally is amazing at orchestras, tango, electronic, rock, metal, pop, jazz, and we all love videogame OSTs for that reason.
Tatsuro Yamashita and Hideki Naganuma mog everyone.
