notes about Japan

In many cases, English doesn't work in Japan. Less than 5 % of Japanese speak English without hesitation although English is a mandatory subject in schools. Why is that? You might have a question about how much similar Japanese language is with Chinese. I will tell you all about it.

Do you know that the Japanese imperial family is the longest in the world. For the scale, the British royal family is overwhelming, but just for the length of the history, the Japanese imperial family is older than the British royal family by several hundreds years. Today, I am writing about the reason why the Japanese imperial family is still "IMPERIAL”instead of “ROYAL”.

Japan didn't implement the lockdown for COVID 19 although it had many Chinese tourists, but there are far less infections and casualties than in Western countries. It's definitely NOT because of politicians work. They were so slow and incompetent compared to other Asian countries. So what explains the miracle? It could be our habits...

It was a sensational moment when the Japanese national team won against Ireland the other day. I found some comments about this topic on Twitter, so this time I would like to write about this.

Although Japanese modern culture may not look very different to other countries, Japan is still unique, and there are many specific rules and concepts especially relating to Japanese traditions.Today, I want to pick up on some of the things that many non-Japanese people have the wrong ideas about.

Japan is actually very diverse. From snowy regions to tropical areas. Japan is not expensive anymore. As a tourist, it should be cheaper than any other developed country. You are in a privileged position, ANA and JAL offer you domestic flight tickets for promotional prices. So many variations for Japanese dishes, 47 prefectures have their own gourmets.
