What I like about Japan


Students sometimes ask me what I like about Japan. The photo partly answers this question. I'm fond of old temples and Japanese gardens. My wife and I enjoy going to quiet, traditional inns in hot spring areas, and enjoying good meals there. Of course the restaurants in major cities are terrific too, even the cheaper ones. I like the convenience of Japan, especially the ease with which we can get around here. Although I can drive, I don't feel the need to have a car here because the train and subway system is so good. I rent a car a few times a year maybe.

I used this blog with another class last year, and have just changed the class number and student names, so you'll be able find several older posts in which I write about myself. If you're interested in any of them, feel free to ask me about something I wrote.

Anyway, how about you? What do you like about Japan? What are your favorite things, places, characteristics of the Japanese etc?
