The Land of Japan is richly endowed with nature
and has beautiful mountains, trees, rivers,
lakes and seas; which show distinctive beauty
in each season. In spring, trees begin to
bud and cherry blossoms bloom. In summer it
is hot and people enjoy water sports. In autumn,
trees turn red and yellow, painting the mountains
in autumn color. In winter snow falls so that
sports such as skiing can be enjoyed. Onsen,
or hot-springs, one of the blessings of nature,
can be enjoyed throughout the year. Taking
a bath at an onsen will be the most comforting
experience for you. Japan’s unique natural
beauty will give visitors an unforgettable
experience. |

In Japan, English language education has been
included in the curriculum of the last three
years of compulsory education. Accordingly,
all Japanese people study English for at least
3 years, and the majority study for six years
or more. When you are seeking for information
in the town, you will find no difficulty finding
someone to help you in English.
Some people may not be fluent, or may be shy
at first, but you will soon notice that people’s
friendliness and willingness to communicate
fully compensate for the lack of fluency in
English.
