fuji mountant at night
MOUNT FUJI (富士山, Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan’s highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshiped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people throughout the centuries. Easy way to view Mount Fuji is from the train on a trip between Tokyo and Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best view of the mountain can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40-45 minutes into the journey.

More rest,less iPhone Unlike life at home in Melbourne, the Japanese seldom used their mobile phones whilst in public or on public transport. In fact, many commuters were asleep for the duration of their ride (a likely result of their notoriously nonexistent work-life balance).
Minimalist Japanese minimalism has heavily influenced modern interior styling and Western design culture. The Japanese concept of ‘ma’ can be translated into ‘gap’,‘space’,‘pause’ and can be otherwise described as negative space. As beautifully stated on Wawaza, ma is ‘the silence between the notes which make the music’. The embrace of negative space and minimalism is pervasive in all aspects of life from architecture to food preparation. Ultimately, the biggest lesson learnt in Japan less is more. Less clutter. Less excess. Less technology. More simplicity. More humility. More tradition. 8

FESTIVAL 10
AWA ODORI This is the largest traditional dance festival in Japan. Men, women and children dance on almost all of the streets in Tokushima City, from the 12th to the 15th of August. They wear summer cotton kimono and straw hats. More than a million people get together for this festival, and it is a spectacular sight. You can even join them to dance with the rhythmic music!

Sushi is one of the first foods that spring to mind when we think about Japanese cuisine. The word ‘sushi’ refers to any dish made with Japanese rice that has been seasoned with rice vinegar. Common varieties of sushi include makizushi (sushi rice and fillings rolled up in nori seaweed), nigiri sushi (shaped, bitesize mounds of sushi rice with single slices of raw fish or similar draped over the top) and inarizushi (sushi rice stuffed inside pockets of inari; a type of seasoned, fried tofu).
Yakitori While we in the UK might pick up a serving of chips or a hot dog during a sports match, the Japanese will pick up some yakitori. With a name literally meaning ‘barbecued chicken’, yakitori are small skewers of bite-size chicken pieces seasoned with salt or brushed with a sauce, or tare, of mirin rice wine, soy sauce, sake alcohol, and sugar. There are many different types of yakitori, but the most common varieties are momo (chicken thigh), negima (chicken and spring onion), and tsukune (chicken meatballs).
Udon One of the three main noodle varieties eaten in Japan; udon noodles are thick, chewy, and traditionally made from wheat flour and brine water. Udon can be served in a number of different ways (mixed into stir fries, added to hot pots, served cold with a tsuyu or tentsuyu soup base on the side for dipping), but are most commonly used in noodle soups, where they are served in a savoury soup broth with different garnishes.
