Welcome to Japan! This friendly nation has something to offer everyone. Japan has a fascinating culture rooted in centuries old traditions. Yet, in the last 100 years, Japan has undergone immense change from an insular, agrarian state to a modern, industrial nation. Throughout Japan’s history, despite the sometimes slow, sometimes fast changes, a common thread holds its culture together.

    With its centuries old history there is much to be learned and studied if one chooses. Whether an observer, or a participant, one cannot escape the fascinating culture of this country. There are numerous books in English that provide interesting insights into the culture.

    Joining groups and clubs is an easy way to begin the process of learning about the culture. If you have a particular interest in an activity such as Ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging), consider joining an organization that provides courses in this art.
