Discover Japanese Culture
Japanese Culture...One of the coolest aspects of traveling to Japan is discovering the many ways in which
Japan's traditional and modern cultures appear to mesh together seamlessly.
Daily life scenes like an ultra-modern high-rise building right next to an ancient temple,
a group of young girls clad in colorful yukata summer kimono texting messages on a train as they head to a fireworks display,
or a hard-core punk rocker speaking in the polite, formal "keigo" style of Japanese while being interviewed
on TV somehow just seem to make sense in Japan.
In the EJG Japanese Culture section, you'll find a wealth of information on
Japanese culture and customs, as well as Japan's unique holidays, festivals,
fashions, events, and more!
Japan has many customs that are quite a departure from the way things are done in the West.
