Information about Japan

Mushi mushi! That’s how you say hi in Japanese. In Taoga time we’ve swapped groups. My class is learning about Japanese and practising our Mihi’s. We were searching the web and had to find out some information like what is the population in japan. There’s approximately 127,960,00 people in Japan. The largest islands or the main islands is Honshu, hokkaido kyushu shikoku.

I know this one, another info we had to find out was the capital city of Japan, also known as the Land of the rising sun. It’s Tokyo, Tokyo is also the largest city. There’s about 46 of the worlds greatest landmarks. One of the prominent landmarks is the Tori gate, it stands in the sea 500 ft, there’s also Mount fuji, Nara Todaishii and more landmarks.

Some interesting facts about Japan is that on respect for the aged day, tabacco companies will hand out free cigarettes to the elderly outside of train stations and department stores. Did you know that some Japanese love corn, sesame seeds and mayonaise in their pizza. Japanese people take hot baths every night, some do not have showers installed in their bathrooms. When you go to a funeral or a wedding you must take a gift of money.

So I can’t wait to make Sushi!
