If you are anxious to explore East Asia but uncertain which country to

go to, you may want to set your sites on Far East Far East and travel to

Japan.  Here is some general but helpful information that is good to grasp when you

travel Japan.  It’ll help you to get a better knowledge of Japan before your

trip and let you experience Japan more comfortably. 

About the Country
Japan consists of four main islands and many smaller ones.  Together the islands take the

shape of a sea horse and occupy an area of 377,435 square kms.  Tokyo, the main city, is really modern and bustling with activity, so when you travel to Japan, be

ready for a few crowds.  The landscape of Japan, away from the gigantic cities,

is mountainous with spectacular views ; some of the mountains are volcanic.  Mt.  Fuji is the

tallest mountain in Japan, and is understood for its symmetrical slopes. 

About the Climate
When you travel to Japan, it’s important to know the country’s seasons and when

they happen in the year.  The islands of Japan lie in the temperate and at the northeastern end of

the monsoon area.  The climate is usually mild, even though it varies

significantly from place to place when you travel Japan.  Summer, which is warm and mild, begins

round the middle of July following a rainy season that usually lasts for a month.  Except

in northern Japan the winter is mild with many bright days.  Spring and autumn are the best seasons of

the year with balmy days and bright sunshine. 

About the People
Before you depart to travel Japan, it’s a great idea to get a sense of the

people and their culture.  Japan is one of the most densely populated

states in the world, with some 330 people per square kilometer (

virtually 860 people per sq.  Mi.  ).  The Japanese are a Mongoloid

folks, closely related to the major groups of East Asia. 

some proof also exists of a mix with Malayan and Caucasoid strains.  About 750,000 Koreans and

much smaller groups of Chinese and Caucasians reside in Japan. 

religious convictions
When you travel Japan, you will be exposed to a new world of religious

and personal convictions.  Buddhism is important in Japan’s

religious life and has strongly influenced fine humanities, social

establishments, and philosophy.  Most jap consider themselves members of one of the

major Buddhist sects. 

Shintoism is an indigenous faith set up on legends, legends, and

ritual practices of the early {Japanese}.  Neither Buddhism nor Shintoism is an exclusive

religion.  Most jap observe both Buddhist and Shinto rituals : the previous for

funerals and the second for births, weddings, and other occasions.  Confucianism,

primarily a moral system, deeply influences Eastern

thought as well. 

About 1.3 million folks in Japan are Christians, of whom 60% are Protestant and forty percent Roman Catholic.
