Introduction Of Japan
by: Marcella Debrito
Full ancient temples or futuristic cities to the mist-shrouded hills or lightning-fast bullet trains. What is it about the kimonoclad geisha outfit that makes people want wear them . It's all here. Some people who want to visit there would have
misconceptions about it. For example, many people believe that it’s one of the world's high costly countries. In fact, it's
cheaper to travel in there than in much of North America, Western Europe and parts of Oceania. Others think that Japan is
never reasoned with. This country is one of the easiest countries in which to travel.
Why to go to Japan?
Japan has many traditional culture. I have spend weeks in cities such as Kyoto and
learned about Nara, gorging myself on temples, shrines, kabuki, ō( a style dance-drama),
tea ceremonies and museums packed with treasures from Japan's rich artistic heritage.
Plus there’s modern culture and technology that most are fascinated with. Japanese many
cities is like wonderland an easy way to peek into the future of a human race. Complete
with trend-setting fabulous cafés & restaurants. Outside the cities, I have found much
natural wonders the length of the archipelago (islands). From the coral reefs of Okinawa to
the ski-resort of Niece, Japan has more natural wonders to compete with its cultural
treasures. Then there's the food; the food is impossibly fresh in sushi in Tokyo, perfectly
battered tempura in Kyoto, or a hearty bowl of rāmen in Osaka, if you like eating you're
going to love Japan.
Top Two Best Places to visit in Japan
Kyoto
Once the country’s imperial capital, Japan’s seventh largest city escaped bombings during World
War II, plus centuries-old temples and shrines still standing. The Fushimi-inari Shrine is particularly
impressive. It has 1,000’s of orange-red shrine gates (torii) that form a 2.5-mile (4-kilo-meter) path,
which ends at the top of Mount Inari-san overlooking the grounds. Kyoto’s Nijo Castle is a UNESCO
World Heritage site. Dating back the 1600s, its Ninomaru palace features featured wall paintings and
sliding doors. Tuck in for the night at the Hotel Granvia next to the Kyoto Station. I Head to Heianjingu shrine’s famous 355,000-square-foot (32,981-square-meter) gardens, which I attended by a 7th
-generation gardener. Exotic birds inhabit 4 sections of the garden (east, west, north, and south)
that surround the pond. The garden is most beautiful in spring when the cherry blossoms are in
bloom. To get away alittle from temple touring, visited the Kyoto International Manga Museum,
devoted to traditional and contemporary Japanese cartoons. Anyone can search for a cartoon on
the Wall of Manga based on age, gender, and other standards. Later Explore Gion, Kyoto’s famous
geisha district. Geishas and apprentices (as maiko) usually can be spotted walking to or from a
social engagement at an ochaya teahouse. A better chance of glimpsing a geisha or maiko is by
attending the early evening cultural show at the Gion Corner, where you and your kids can see
Kyoto-style dance, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and puppet play.
Tokyo
The atmosphere of Japan are startling big cities dazzle, bright lights. High-tech gadgets to the countryside
towns of centuries old Japanese culture is was before and still here today. With geishas, zen rock gardens,
and temples and shrines. Japan's vibrant pop culture is a huge attention grabber japan-visiting tourists.
Including ground-breaking electronics we see today. Plus leading fashion and design items available there.
Yet, beneath the brash modernity beats an ancient heart. Japan is still know for the unique art of the geisha
and well trained sumo wrestler. Including lively age-old festivals that is celebrated. Plus, the yummy food I
have see has been around for many ages. Japan is a land of huge natural beauty. The snow festivals and
lavender farms of the northern isle of Hokkaido to the sun-drenched beaches and turquoise waters of the
subtropical islands of Okinawa. Whether you choose to climb volcanic Mount Fuji or wander through the
pine forest of Mount Koya, a journey to Japan is unforgettable.
The history behind Kyoto
The history of Tokyo began 400 years ago, was first called Edo, a city doing so well right after Tokugawa Ieyasu
established the a way to make himself leader Permanente leader called the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1603. Ruler of
the land, with a huge city populating to a million, and just in the middle of the 18th century; the Edo lasted ontill
260 years later, replaced by the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Tokugawa Shogunate was done and the imperial rule was
going about. The next emperor moved to Edo ruling power, which was later renamed Tokyo, which later became a
capital of Japan.

Clothing in Kyoto
This type of clothing is most popular warn by many Japanese
people. On the left, most Japanese guys wear, the kimono, most
traditionally worn by men living in Kyoto, Japan. On the right, some
Japanese girls wear, the Geisha out fit of Kyoto, Geisha’s are
performers from a rich family, most traditionally worn by most
women living in Kyoto, very rare. Girls who are not geisha’s mostly
wears a simple kimono, with very colorful and beautiful patterns, not
so rare, but grabs a lot of peoples attention to who would want to
wear this kimono.
Clothing in Tokyo
Not a lot of culture clothing is Tokyo city, but the outfit we see in images or pictures of girls or boys in Tokyo, Japan is what we see is a
icon of fashion in most young people around the world today. Most
girls wear outfits like HARAJUKU, SHIBUYA, and/or KOGAL. Most
boys wear collar shirts with black jackets and pants.
The best of tokyo
Tokyo is one of the least cities of the world to be cramped, dirty, dangerous, or chaotic. The best and the most popular Japanese
inventions like the Nintendo, sushi, DDR, and late karaoke, is what I find most carving for , yet I was shy and come to Japan not know
what I was to expect. The Japanese are very nice welcomers to me, even if I was new or use to the Japanese custom either way. Tokyo,
including other countries in Japan, are in the second decade, visit there in much more cheaper then any country in Europe. The good
thing about visiting Tokyo for the first time Every sign in the excellent system is in both Japanese and English, so it is not one of the
countries that you need much of a dictionary or translator to get around the cities. Tokyo is one of the best countries to have the best
shopping areas to spend money. Anyone coming to Japan for the first time, would normally shop at the city of Harajuku, best starters.
Yet I am more into shopping then the average person so I head up to Omotesando and north to Meiji jingo( Tokyo’s largest and most
peaceful Shinto shrine), whose An unconsolidated mixture of rock fragments or pebbles cover the pathway and makes you want to feel
as if you are stepping into another world, how delightful. Shibuya, or Tokyo’s time square, is more like a Soho (where a group of people
gather for business or type of party), then a central portion of a city. Shibuya is filled with teenagers and young adults. If you are really
into seafood as I am, then I hope you are willing to wake up 4am to go to Tokyo’s fish market, Tsukiji fish market, fish is one of
Japanese diets. For art lovers, like my self, would be gladly go to the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, holding many talents such as
Miwa Yanagi. For a 53 stories building of art and design visit the Mori Museum of art, top of the Roppngi hills (retail), which opens to
great fanfare in 2003. Plus having good hype with memorable and groundbreaking shows.
The best of kyoto
Kyoto is the crucible of many of Japan's traditional arts - there's no better place to sample the refined
culture of kabuki (theatre) and the geisha (performer). The Gion district is the home of Minami-za ,
Japan's oldest kabuki theatre. If you were lucky to see The atmospheric back streets of Gion are where I
likely saw geishas and maikos. The main shopping is found at the junction of Shijo-dori and Kawaramachi-dori with There dozens of craft shops just west of the river on nearby Sanjo-dori to the east where
pottery and antiques are sold in the lanes leading up to Kiyomizu-dera temple. When sightseeing, Start in
Kyoto's heart at the Imperial Park it is open daily and it’s free. At night when crazving for a drink for night
out, The Gion and Pontocho districts are stuffed with bars and clubs, but with raditional izakayas, foreigners are often greeted with suspicion and may not get served (sadly).
The best season to visit anywhere in Japan
Autumn is a good super best time to travel, with pleasant temperatures and soothing colours of the autumn season; the autumn
leave pattern reverses that of the sakura (left), starting in the north
sometime in October and peaking across most of Honshū (right)
around November.

more Western-style stay, Kyoto's top ranked hotel, the
Westin Miyako, Sanjo, Keage, offers doubles from Y26,500
