Welcome to "Clues on Japan"

Thank you for visiting the site. If you come from my old site, welcome back. I restarted the blog site, because the old one limited the subject from the title, "Travel to Japan." Some people can't go there or don't want to go there physically but want to know about Japan. So, I opened the plate wider for anyone who get any interest in Japan on any level. For the start of the new site, I want to put the old postings for new visitors. So, if you already went though them, please be patient for new posting.

1. What is Japan anyway?

Japan is the east edge country in Asia. It contains four big islands and many small islands. The four big islands are named, from the north, Hokkaido, Honshu (biggest), Shikoku, and Kyushu. The population is about 127million. It contains 99% Japanese and 1% others. The largest ethnic group except Japanese is Korean followed by Chinese. The spoken language is Japanese. However, if you are lucky, you find pretty good English speaker in urban areas like Tokyo.
