Create a travel-themed Instagram Story cover. The background should feature a slightly vintage, soft-toned photo of an iconic Japanese landmark or monument. Overlay a semi-transparent silhouette map in the color of the Japanese flag. In the center, write the name of the country "Japan" in a thin, elegant, and minimalist white serif font, with a clean composition. Make sure the image has a Japanese-themed vibe, with warm lighting if appropriate, and that the overall look is visually harmonious for Instagram.
