AMAZING JAPAN - Why Japan is One of the World's Most Intriguing Countries!

日本へようこそ!
Nihon ē Yōkoso!
[Nee-hone eh Yohh-koh-soh!]
Welcome to Japan!

Japan is known worldwide for its economic prowess and such iconic symbols as geisha, karaoke, manga, Mt. Fuji, ninja, feudal-age samurai warriors and huge sumo wrestlers.

What is not so well-known are its amazing historical artifacts [shrines; temples; castles; the world’s largest and oldest wooden buildings; arts and crafts, hundreds of annual festivals that go back nearly two thousand years]; the incredible scenic beauty of its mountains, gorges, rivers, one of the longest and most gorgeous coastlines in the world; and a combined modern and traditional lifestyle that is so fascinating and seductive that exposure to it for just a few days is a mind-altering experience.

In this intimate profile of Japan I identify and describe a choice selection of things that make Japan one of the world’s most unusual, most intriguing, and most enjoyable travel destinations…things that explain why so many foreigners take up permanent residence there once they have experienced life in this amazing country.

One of the extraordinary features of Japan that cannot be fully appreciated until you have experienced it is the fact that Japan is a very narrow but very long country with approximately 142,000 square miles in total area [about the same size as the American state of Montana] of which some 80 percent is vast mountain and hill ranges that are unoccupied...meaning that Japan's population of 126 million people live in a combined area that is about the size of Maricopa county in my state of Arizona!

What this does to the Japanese mindset and lifestyle is...amazing! The book is available from Amazon.com.
