JAPAN

In japan there are about 6,852 islands. There are many popular cities like Tokyo, Kobe, and Osaka. Yet 

The four main islands are Honshu Hokkaido, 

Shikoku and Kyushu. Kyoto use to be the capital 

Of japan yet Tokyo was given that title. Most people go to Tokyo but don’t visit other places.

 There are many festivals that happen, though some seem weird to use they have meanings to them. There’s is one when one man is chosen to be a suiter for a shrine, but he is naked and washed to show purity. They say if you were to touch him all of your sins will be placed on him. Though he can get injured and every year is replaced by a new suiter. There is also the Sakura Festival (also known as Hanami which means to view flowers). It is for the coming of the new spring to watch the flowers fall that only last for about two weeks a year. People like to have picnics and BBQ along with games and sports. In japan there are little things that you do that will be seen as rude. Not taking off shoes when entering, leaving a tip, passing your food with chopsticks, being loud on trains, and many others.

I choose this place because after watching anime I wonder what those places were really like and got intrested. Soon I started to gain more of an intrest in Japan and wanting to go there. To see all the cool new and old pats of Japan.
