Foreigners are now flocking to Japan. Japan has many attractions such as cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, beautiful mountains and seascapes, historical sites such as temples and shrines, traditional culture such as ikebana and tea ceremony in addition to hot springs, kimono, and Japanese food, as well as manga, anime, games, and j-pop, which have recently become the rage of young people around the world.

Japanese lifestyle culture is also praised: The cleanliness of streets and toilets, the custom of standing in line at crowded places, the safety of children and women who can go out alone, the morality of delivering lost items such as purses and bags to the police, and the kindness of the Japanese people.

Japan is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, located in the Far East from the West. It is a country of different cultures born from unique ideas, yet it is as advanced as the West and respects democracy. For foreigners, Japan seems to arouse their interest in the unknown world, much as it did during the Age of Discovery.
