Calligr aphy

alligraphy (shodo: “the way of writing�) is the art of writing beautifully. Most children learn calligraphy in elementary school. It is a popular hobby among adults, too.Unlike the strokes of Roman letters, the strokes of Japanese characters have to be drawn in the correct order, not arbitrarily. When you learn Chinese characters, you draw one stroke after the other. This is called the square (Kaisho) style of writing kanji.
gm k Kimono
imono and yukata are traditional Japanese clothing. Kimono are made of silk and are usually very expensive. Nowadays they are worn at formal or traditional occasions such as funerals, wedding or tea ceremonies. Only rarely kimono can still be seen in everyday life. Kimono differ in style and color depending on the occasion on which it is worn and the age and marital status of the person wearing it. To put on a kimono needs some practice. Especially tying the belt (obi) alone is difficult so that many people require assistance. Wearing a kimono properly includes proper hair style, traditional shoes, socks, underwear, and a small handbag for women. The yukata, on the other hand, is more of an informal leisure clothing. It is a comfortable dress on summer days or after a hot bath. Yukata are relatively inexpensive and made of cotton. While staying at a ryokan, you will be provided with a yukata.
Food
T
he Japanese cuisine offers a very large variety of dishes and regional specialities. In this section of japan-guide. com you will find information pages about some of the popular dishes and Japanese table manners, as well as some illustrated recipes.

In Japan, sushi is usually enjoyed on special occasions, such as a celebration.

Tokyo
T
okyo is Japan�s capital and the world's most populous metropolis. It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center. The Izu and Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo. Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors. The city's history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa, and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens. Contrary to common perception, Tokyo also offers a number of attractive green spaces in the city center and within relatively short train rides at its outskirts.
transportation
apan has an efficient public transportation network, especially within metropolitan areas and between the large cities. Japanese public transportation is characterized by its punctuality, its superb service, and the large crowds of people using it. Shinkansen, known as Bullet trains, are the high speed trains. Japan operates almost 250 bullet trains every day The N700 serious Nozomi are the fastest trains with a speed of 300 km per hour. The punctuality of trains is unmatched. The trains on the conventional line run relatively slow at a speed of 160 km per hour. Now a local train means a train that stops at every station. A fare ticket is enough for these trains. But the other trains, Rapid, Express and limited express (which is faster than the Express) need some surcharges. The operators usually use names for trains for reservation instead of train numbers. The railways account for the largest percentage of carriers in Japan.
Hot Spring
N
oboribetsu is Hokkaido’s most famous hot spring resort, offering as many as eleven different kinds of thermal waters, that are considered among Japan’s best and most effective. The resort town consists of numerous (mostly large sized) ryokan and hotels with hot spring baths. Several of them open their baths during daytime to non-staying guests for typically 700 to 2000 yen. In addition, there is one public bath house located in the center of town.
