Essay on Why I Want to Visit Japan
Japan is a fascinating and beautiful country in East Asia. Japan has lots of different traditions,
festivals, landforms, and tourist attractions. Japan is a unique country with its beautiful landscape,
people; it is lovely events and contrasting culture compared to Australia. I think we can all affirm with
the suggested precondition that Japan is a remarkable and extraordinary country. In this essay I will
explain why I want to visit Japan so much. Ancient Japanese culture, next to the wacky side of Japan,
is the fantastic culture that they hold so dearly to themselves. Their culture dates back to thousands of
years ago; with many of the oldest aspects withstanding the test of time. Kyoto is the best place to
witness Geisha history, especially in the Gion district. In today's modern time, can you believe that the
ancient tradition of wearing a kimono is still what they call stylish and fashionable? The kimono is a
traditional Japanese garment and the national dress of Japan. The kimono is a flat, T-shaped garment
with square sleeves and a rectangular body, worn left over right unless the wearer is deceased. It is
always worn with an obi, and commonly worn with accessories such as zori (flat and thonged
Japanese sandals) and tabi (traditional Japanese socks worn with thonged footwear). I would certainly
want to experience wearing a Kimono in Japan! When I go to Japan, I must go when it is the
Japanese New Year. Japanese New Year (??, sh?gatsu) is Japan's most important holiday. Most
businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families usually gather together to spend the
days. Homes and entrance gates are decorated with oak, bamboo and plum trees ornamentation, and
cleaning of clothes and buildings. Toshikoshi soba (buckwheat noodles), which represents longevity,
are served on New Year's Eve. Japan's food is adorable! Pandas made of rice in curry, marshmallow
cats in your coffee, sleeping bear rice, cat doughnuts, bunny bread, and Chewbacca noodles (for all
you Star Wars fans). Kit Kats is a separate topic. Kit Kats come in a countless amount of flavors.
Being the vast Kit Kat fan that I am, just knowing the fact there are hundreds of flavors makes my
mouth drool uncontrollably. Strawberries and cream Kit Kats?... Yes, Please! Sign Me Up! Japan has
more fantastic food than only ramen or sushi. For example, okonomiyaki pancakes, made with
cabbage, and topped with a variety of options. Other foods to try in Japan are soba noodles, yakiniku
barbecue, tempura, yakitori and much more. Food in Japan is my number one priority when I go to
Japan. The beautiful natural landscape, Japan is perfect for nature lovers; the land looks like angels
created it. Everything is perfectly placed as if it were planned. That is just the beauty of Japan,
including Mount Fiji, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, gardens, trails, and pretty much anywhere you look.
Japan's Mount Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Commonly called
'Fuji-san', it is the country's tallest peak, at 3,776 meters. Mount Fuji is easily one of the most iconic
sites in Japan, and not only a geographical point but a cultural symbol for the country. Regardless of
this reality, the fact remains that, the unmistakable peak can be spotted from a variety of locations,
each vantage point offers its unique view of the often-snowy top. Mount Fuji is a top-rated tourist
attraction that everyone wants to climb. I want to experience and see what Mount Fuji is about and
climb the mountain. I saw the whole country covered in cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms only last for
two weeks in Japan. Hence, I need to go to Japan at that time. If you want to experience a magical
moment, see those cherry blossoms. Enjoying springtime cherry blossoms is a Japanese cultural
practice that fascinates people all over the world today. Many travelers flock to Japan to take part in
Hanami. To learn why Hanami became a widespread custom, it helps to know that its origins are
connected to the wild cherry trees growing in various parts of Japan and the history of flower viewing. I
would undoubtedly go to Japan for viewing cherry blossoms! Experiencing the weird and wonderful
side of Tokyo. Neko Kafe, Chiku Chiku Cafe, Karaoke Bars, Pokémon Centre, and Robot Restaurants.
Do I need to mention more? Chiku Chiku cafes are one of my favorite cafes. Relaxing with little
hedgehogs is high on many a traveler's Tokyo must-do list, and this new Shibuya spot adds to the
selection of cafes offering that opportunity. At Chiku Chiku Cafe (also known as ‘Hedgehog Home
Cafe’) you can feed, touch, and take photos with the little cuties, all while following the staff's
instructions. The furry friends traipse around in environments modelled on bathrooms classrooms,
Japanese-style tatami rooms, it is like a collection of dollhouses for hedgehogs!
Conclusion
Overall, it may be said that I would definitely want to go to Japan. It is one of my favorite destinations
in Asia. Probably because it has the perfect mix of culture, history, and modern comfort, and let us not
forget the fantastic food they have! Japan is a unique country, and even though you might have an
image of how it will be, this beautiful country will definitely still surprise you. These are the reasons
why I certainly desire to go to Japan, to see and experience all these things.
