Welcome to board our train, and now let's begin our travel to the second station——JAPAN
Tokyo to TaiWan
Background Introdution:
When you hear the word 'Japan', what do you think of? Does your mind fill with images of ancient temples or futuristic cities? Do you see visions of mist-shrouded hills or lightning-fast bullet trains? Do you think of suit-clad businessmen or kimono-clad geisha? Whatever image you have of Japan, it's probably accurate, because it's all there. But you may also have some misconceptions about Japan. For example, many people believe that Japan is one of the world's most expensive countries. In fact, it's cheaper to travel in Japan than in much of North America, Western Europe and parts of Oceania. Others think that Japan is impenetrable or even downright difficult. The fact is, Japan is one of the easiest countries in which to travel. It is, simply put, a place that will remind you why you started travelling in the first place.
If traditional culture is your thing, you can spend weeks in cities such as Kyoto and Nara, gorging yourself on temples, shrines, kabuki, ō (stylised dance-drama), tea ceremonies and museums packed with treasures from Japan's rich artistic heritage. If modern culture and technology is your thing, Japan's cities are an absolute wonderland - an easy peek into the future of the human race, complete with trend-setting cafés and fabulous restaurants. Outside the cities, you'll find natural wonders the length and breadth of the archipelago. From the coral reefs of Okinawa to the ski-resort of Niseko, Japan has more than enough natural wonders to compete with its cultural treasures. Then there's the food: whether it's impossibly fresh sushi in Tokyo, perfectly battered tempura in Kyoto, or a hearty bowl of rāmen in Osaka, if you like eating you're going to love Japan.
Keeping up on the latest trends yet preserving traditional cultures from the Edo period, Tokyo is full of fascinating attractions. Learn about some of Tokyo's popular and unique tourist destinations.
Here are some characters of Japan from me.
Hot springs:温泉
Japanese are accustomed to stay in hot springs especially in winter. But before go into the water, you should be wet by a barrel of cool water . And hot springs is common in Japan and you can see many scenes about in from Japanese cartoons and TV series.
Sushi:寿司
The first time you eat may feel strange. However, the food is so healthy and make you strong to your body and your brain. After some tries, you may enjoy it and find it delicious. If possible, you can try to make it by yourself.
Caricature:卡通
That may be our memory in our childhood. Actually many adults like it as well. It has been an industry known by the world for Japan. And so many classcial cartoom images occurring in our mind our won't forget in our lifetime.
Sumo：相扑
A traditional activity which enjoys so many Japanese. For travellers from other countries may hard to like it. You may feel scared by those fat men.
How about this station?
You can offer some advice to let me improve.
