Japan is become one of my favorite country in this world. I love almost everything about Japan. Almost all the things about Japan becomes my favorite lol. I know that I've never been in Japan before (I wish I'll be there as soon as possible aamiin), but I have a lot of things I want to share with you guys about Japan as far as I know. Here, I just want to share what becomes my 10 favorite things about Japan. If I share all the things that I love about Japan, it will be a very long story lol. So, here my 10 favorite things about Japan!

1. Culture



Japan culture is still preserved until now. One reason why there are so many people visit Japan is because of the culture itself. That's why this Japan culture become one of my favorite things about Japan. Japan is unique. There's no country which has a culture like Japan. Eventho Japan becomes a modern country now, they still conserve their culture. Most of Japanese people still raised their culture high which is inherited by the ancestors. Especially in rural areas, the culture is still solid. Japanese people really love their culture. For example, when Hanami celebration and Matsuri (Festival), they wear their traditional clothes. From the traditional clothes, festival, so many celebration, food, traditional house, the shrine, the typical food in Japan, and the other things are characterize the real Japan which rich of culture.

2. Festival「Matsuri」




In Japanese language, festival is called "Matsuri". Every areas in Japan has their own matsuri. One of the interesting thing about Japan is the various types of festival. Especially for the foreign tourists. There are many matsuri held in Japan because every shrine has their own matsuri. Usually matsuri is celebrated every year. Variety of Japan matsuri are dance matsuri, fire matsuri, yuki (snow) matsuri, spiritual matsuri and many more. One of matsuri that I know is Asakusa Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa Tokyo. This matsuri is become one of the biggest matsuri especially in Tokyo. 

3. Technology



Japan is identic with the sophisticated and modern technology. There are so many kind of technology in Japan. Even the technology that another country don't have. Japan has many sophisticated electronics with the price that cheap enough. If it compares with another country, Japan sells products especially electronics with the fairly cheap price. Besides electronics, Japan also has another sophisticated and modern technology like machine for buy subway ticket, machine for order food or drink, even Japan has modern toilet.

4. Anime



This thing is also identic with Japan. Japan has a lot kind of anime, oke, like a lot. They who obsessed with anime usually called otaku.  But I'm not otaku, I just love it and I'm not obsessed with it. I don't know why anime makes me excited everytime I watch it. I have my own interest on anime since I'm in senior high school.  My favorite anime now are Kuroko No Basuke, Sword Art Online, and Nagi No Asukara. The most popular anime movie in 2016 is Kimi No Na Wa and it worth to watch. Do you guys watch it already?
You can find every single things about anime figure and illustration in Japan. You can find it on the pavement, building, train, shops, and many places there. Akihabara becomes one of the heaven for otaku lol. Yes, in Akihabara district you'll find everything related with anime.

5. Cherry Blossom「Sakura」





I do really love cherry blossom aka sakura, they're so incredibly beautiful. I wish I could watch and touch them directly by myself (aamiin). Traditional tradition in Japan which relates to sakura is "Hanami". Hanami is enjoy the beauty of cherry blossom. Cherry blossom usually bloom on spring season between March and May. 

6. Shinkansen



Shinkansen (bullet train) is the fastest train in Japan. Shinkansen becomes the second fastest transportation after plane. This is so extraordinary. Japan provides many facilities in this train, for example this train is equipped with a detection system that will lay off the train when an earthquake is detected. Cool, right? One thing that I love is about the timeliness of the train arrived. The train is arrived mostly on time. Even when the train is late, they're only late for 6 seconds until 18 seconds. Wow!

7. Food



Japan is heaven for food lovers. Japan has so many kind of food (I think I should stop using this word lol). Tokyo becomes the tourists target to do food explore. Tokyo has a lot delicious and unique culinary. Not only Tokyo but also another city in Japan also has their own culinary. From street food until restaurant food, they have their own charactheristic. The most popular food which all the world citizen know is sushi. Yes, this food is really popular even in another country.

8. Vending Machine



Vending machine is everywhere. You can find this kind of machine almost in every place in Japan. From station, public places, shopping center, pavement, tourist attraction, airport, and another places. This vending machine also provide so many products from hot and cold drink, food, gatcha-gatcha, umbrella, instant noodle, souvenirs, battery, vegetables, flowers, shoes, even car. There are many unique things which offered by this vending machine.

9. Mount Fuji



Mount Fuji is Japan's famous symbol. I wish I could climb this highest mountain in Japan. This is becomes my goals when I visit Japan one day hehe. The beauty of the mountain makes me fall in love with this Fuji Mountain. This mountain is located frontier of Shizouka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture.

10. The Streets



Last but not least, streets in Japan is becomes my favorite thing from this country. I don't know how to explain it. I just think that every streets in Japan is unique and artsy in my opinion. It doesn't like streets in another country. But yeah it has similarity with the streets in South Korea. But, basically, why I like the streets in Japan is about its uniqueness.

That's all partially from my favorite things about Japan. Hope you all enjoy reading this and increase your knowledge about Japan. γ‚γ‚ŠγŒγ¨γ†γ”γ–γ„γΎγ™!
