My amazing journey to Japan When I was twelve, I visited the country of the rising sun, Japan. It was a fantastic time! Japan is an extraordinary country rich in culture and tradition. I and my friend Katia stayed in different hotels from Hokkaido to Honshu. This gave us the chance to experience Japanese customs and local cuisine. We travelled by bus and plane. We saw magnificent mountains and fields with wonderful flowers, huge skyscrapers and modern schools. We even lived with a Japanese family at their place for several days. The Japanese are such hospitable people. We gave presents to each other. You should come and see this fascinating country!
