THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN - JAPAN



JAPAN

Japan being called "The Land of The Rising Sun", is a country located in Pacific Ocean in East Asia. Japan is the country which I really want to and I dream of to visit. I often dream about this, go traveling to this country. OH I FORGET! Do you know why Japan being called "The Land of The Rising Sun"? Because in Japanese, Japan being called 日本 Nippon or  Nihon. The character of日本 means "sun-origin", that's why Japan is sometimes reffered to as "The Land of The Rising Sun".

Japan is an archipelago of 6.856 islands. The four largest islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, which comprise about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. The capital city is located at Tokyo in Honshu's island.  Japan has four seasons which being called "shiki", they are Spring /Haru (on March, April, May), Summer/Natsu (on June, July, August) , Autumn/Aki (on September, October, November), Winter/Fuyu (on December, January, February).  On Spring in Japan, we can celebrate "Hanami". Hanami is the Japanese of traditional costum of enjoying see the beauty of flowers, in this case "flowers" always meaning "cherry blossoms" (Sakura) or less often "plum blossoms" (Ume). Oh God, I really want to experience the Hanami so damn.

Beside Japan still keep their traditional activity, they also has fascinating culture, friendly (and very polite) local, great food, excellent transportation options, lack of crime, and plenty of tourist acttraction outdoors (hot springs, mountains, beaches, forests, and lakes) and in the city (museums, temples, shrines aplenty -- along with quirky shops).
