If you are determined to explore asia but unsure which country to

go to, you might want to set your sites on Far East Pacific Rim and travel to

Japan.  Here is some general but useful information that is good to know when you

travel Japan.  It will help you get a better understanding of Japan before your

trip and allow you to experience Japan more comfortably. 

About the Country
Japan is composed of four main islands and several smaller ones.  Together the islands take the

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

prepared for some crowds.  The landscape of Japan, away from the big towns,

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 crucial to know the state’s seasons and when

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

the monsoon area.  The climate is generally mild, while it varies

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

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

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

the year with balmy days and bright sunlight. 

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

folk and their culture.  Japan is one of the most very populated

countries in the world, with some 330 persons per square kilometer (

about 860 people per sq.  Mi.  ).  The japanese are a Mongoloid

people, firmly related to the major groups of East Asia. 

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

far smaller groups of Chinese and Caucasians reside in Japan. 

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

and personal beliefs.  Buddhism is vital in Japan’s

religious life and has strongly influenced fine humanities, social

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

major Buddhist sects. 

Shintoism is a native faith founded on legends, legends, and

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

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

funerals and the latter for births, marriages, and other occasions.  Confucianism,

essentially a moral system, deeply influences Eastern

thought as well. 

About 1.3 million people in Japan are Christians, of whom 60% are Protestant and 40

percent Roman Catholic.
