  1. Wonderful. The sakura melody helped me learn a little about Japan. Also, North Indian classical sitar music showed me something about India. I want to offer you the vocal music of Thomas Tallis. My country.

    Thank you for your comment!
    OK!! I make the best plan for you!:)

    The traveling plan in Tokyo!

    At first, I recommend you “Asakusa”.
    Asakusa, in particular “Kaminarimon gate” , is the very famous place in Japan. Many Japanese people and many foreigners love there because there are many traditional food and things. And you experience traditional couture, such as “omikuji” , “okiyome” ,“oinori” and so on.

    I try to introduce you “omikuzi”. What is omikuzi?
    We often enjoy seeing what our fortune is for the year of work, school, love life and other things. You shake the box until one stick comes out or get a piece of paper, and check it. Whether your fortune is good or bad is drawn there. If your fortune is good, good things may happen around you! Lucky!;)

    Next, you go “Tokyo Sky Tree”.
    Tokyo Sky Tree is the highest towar in Japan. Viewing from the top of Tokyo Sky Tree is very great!! I takes twenty minutes to move Tokyo Sky Tree from Asakusa. And “Tokyo Soramati” is located nearby Tokyo Sky Tree. There are many shops which sell some souvenir.
    And at night, Tokyo Sky Tree light up! :)

    Last, if you would like to visit Asakusa and Tokyo Sky Tree, you should ride on “jinrikisha”. The jinrikisha staff will take you to anywhere you want to visit. Moreover, they will tell you the place you can eat traditional Japanese food and buy traditional craft works, because they have many acknowledgement of how entertain foreigners!! ;)


    Just try when you have time!
     
  4. I'm a commercial flight instructor and I've worked with international students from Tokyo. they are always a pleasure to work with. I love their work ethic and study habits, but one thing that really stood out to me is how well they listen. every critique I had about their flying was met with a genuine, almost insatiable desire to improve. and that attention to detail was reflected in their flying -- they damn near flew as good as me when they graduated, and I have hundreds of hours in the air

    one thing my japanese students did struggle with was radio communications. even if their english was solid, the radio calls were always a struggle, particularly air traffic control communications in dense airspace. there were a lot of "say again?" calls hahaha. but overall, I like working with japanese. they make my job easy to be honest. plus, they give me nice bottles of sake when they graduate ;)

    oh and their sense humor is sneaky funny

    It's very strange how I got introduced to Japan. When I was really young, perhaps in middle school I went to the Philippines and I listened to this one song on the plane on repeat for so long, Koi No Yokan Kara by Remioromen. It was so catchy and I although I couldn't understand the words it was so catchy and chorus-y. Ended up watching One Litre of Tears and just growing to love the culture and the food. There are some Japanese restaurants here, I appreciate eating sukiyaki, sashimi, sushi, tempura omg amazing. My uncle is telling me to visit Japan, he's from the Philippines and apparently the food there is amazing. I'm so down to visit.

  8. Don't forget anime like Death Note, Gundam, Attack on Titan, Inuyasha, X/1999, Sailor Moon and such. Japanese people are excellent at making anime.

    I heard music of Thomas Tallis for the first time in my life! Most famous is “If Ye Love Me”, isn’t it? And what does “Ye” mean?

    You know a lot about Japan!

    Remioromen is Japanese Singer and their song “3月9日(sangatu kokonoka)-March,9th” and “粉雪(Konayuki)-powder snow” are famous song in Japan! However, “恋の予感から(Koi No Yokan Kara)-There’s love in the air” is not that famous. I have never heard it! Yes! This is good song and catchy!

    And I don’t know “One Litre of Tears” .This dorama was broadcasted in 2005, so when I was 5! It seems that this dorama was very popular at that time and it was very impressive dorama.

    Furthermore, you know a lot Japanese food!
    I like sukiyaki, sashimi, Shusui, tempura too!:)
    Thank you very much!

    Wow! I like Death Note and Gundam. There are many anime in Japan. Everything is fantastic. Many Children and Adult can enjoy anime! I think this is good points of anime.
    Thank you very much!
     
  15. I've wanted to visit Japan for long! I haven't yet tasted many of japanese foods, but from the meals i've seen, it seems promising. I definitely must eat authentic japanese cuisine one day!

    The places where there's animals roaming freely, such as the fox village would be fantastic to visit. I also know of the rabbit island and a deer park, but are there others as well?

    As for my favourite animes, i like mushishi and berserk a lot. Both of them are great, albeit in different ways.

    Overall, i think the japanese have unique mindset and way of life, so i guess it would be great to see that myself one day. Although i appreciate the japanese commitment and work ethic, i sometimes wonder how you guys can live with those long workweeks, especially if you can't manage to get a job you enjoy? Or are the workweeks generally long for everyone? Nevertheless, i would definitely like to delve more into japanese philosophy and culture, and experience it myself to some degree.

  16. "Ye" is an old english word for "You", i think (i'm non-native english speaker). Another old word for "you" is "thou".
     
  17. The UK has NO fast trains. 2018. We used to be the top.
     
  18. I've never been to japan. But, if i get a chance, would not miss the opportunity to go there and spend some time absorbing the culture and traditions. Also have fun there!

    Thank you for your reply!:)
    I would like to try to answer your some questions!

    The first, I know some zoos and aquariums in which you can see monkey, tiger, giraffe, hippo, panda, birds, and, penguin, shark, jellyfish, and other rare fish. However, I don’t know too much the place where there’s animals roaming freely. It seems Nara Park is the most famous place where we see many deers directly. Many children who live in other prefectures ( Nara Park is in Nara prefecture ) visit there as school trip. I visited there when I was 11.
    Japanese people visit zoo when they see some animals because many animals are protected by staff at zoo. Of course, there are some zoo you are allowed to touch with animals.

    The famous zoo and aquarium in Tokyo.
    • “上野動物園-Ueno Zoo”
    • “井の頭自然文化園-Inokashira Zoo”
    • “多摩動物公園-Tama Zoo Park”
    • “葛西臨海水族園-Tokyo Sea Life Park”
    • “アクアパーク品川-Aqua Park Shinagawa”
    • “サンシャイン水族館-Sunshine Aquarium”
    • “すみだ水族館-Sumida Aquarium”
    If you are interested in “STUDIO GHIBLI”, I recommend “Inokashira Zoo”, because both of them are very close. And nere by them, there are many Japanese restaurants.;)

    Or If you read my “The traveling plan in Tokyo and have a little interest, I recommend “Sumida Aquarium” because it is under the Tokyo Sky Tree!

    The second, I ofthe heard that Japanese people don’t enjoy own job. According to “Ranking the World for Employee Satisfaction (blog,indeed.com in 2017)”, Japan is the bottom score of the 35 country. And many Japanese blog say Japanese people don’t satisfy with their working. I looked up the reason. In my opinion, it seems there are three reasons. It may be not true, but I tell you my thinking.
    1. Payroll System. In Japan, the more you keep working, the more money you get.Whether the company pay a high salary for workers or not depends not on what you create and how hard you work, but on how long you work. Of course, there are exceptional companies.However, many companies pay the salaries par a hour, especially part time job.
    2. Seniority Rule. Japnese people have to respect for elders. We have to follow eldres’s advices and instructions. Even if the young are skillful than elders, it is hard to get a promotion. So, we may lose our motivation.
    3. Porn Addition. This reason is completely my unfounded guess!:p However, very few of Japanese people think NoFap has no meaning. I don’t think so. I hate Japanese Internet society because they tends to tell us PMO is natural thing and many Japanese YouTuber like sexual topics. Rich Youtuber are womanizer! ,,,Sorry, I may have said too much. There are many good YouTuber and good internet communities. However, I think this NoFap community is the best.
    The third, of course, workweeks are long for everyone. However, we have to work a lot to receive a salary. And some people prefer working to playing. Th third answer may be same the second.

    Of course, this is just my opinion. I hope you will find it helpful!:)
