What do you like about Japan?
 

Just wondering what attracts everyone on this forum to japan.
For me, it's the culture, the landmarks, the games, the art style etc.

What attracts me the most... is Girls!!! I love Japanese Girls. I wanna marry one.:vsign:

Second... culture and the country itself.
Third... language.
Fourth... music. Such as... Malice Mizer, The Gazette and Buck Tick.

Laters:vsign:

Going there.

What I don't like? Coming back :mtongue:

The Girls! :drool: and the culture secondly! Oh and the food!

I like the special feel Japan has for me, it seems like people really are interesting there and have a special lifestyle. Also i like the food and some Music.

I like how the majority of Japanese I meet are polite and respectful even though they don't know you. I especially like that it that they seem to be quite mindful of personal space. The other thing that I find powerfully attractive is the high standard of care and detail Japanese people bring to every aspect of their lives no matter what they're doing.

Not so deep:
- Their eyes! I love it when they smile because they look so sweet :D
- Food! Omnomnom 200kg gaijin incoming :eek:
- Duuuude...DORAEMON! :vsign:

I've been working here in Japan since March of last year and it's defenitly been the best year of my life so far.

I love how the country isn't "sue" happy. If you're doing something risky and get hurt or sick, it's your own damn fault for being stupid or just unlucky.

I went hiking a couple weeks ago and the public trails we were on were on the side of cliffs. There were no rails or anything, just you and the cliff. Mind you, these are public trails that are traveled every day by hundreds of people for sightseeing. If they were in America they would have rails and stupid things to keep dumb people from getting hurt. It's just so much more beautiful if it's left unaltered by humans and that's why I respect Japan.

If the food places here were opened in America, they would be shut down due to health issues. But Oh...My...God..... they're so damn good! I love ordering raw meats at a restaurant, a big pot being put in the middle of your table with coals and a grill, and you get to cook your own damn food the way you want... all while sitting on the floor in a candle lit room with your best friends around you. There's just nothing like that in America.

As for the girls.... I don't think Japanese women are any more beautiful than any other race, it's just their clothing styles that set them apart. Where else in the world do girls put on high heels and mini skirts to go grocery shopping? When I first got here I remember seeing girls walking around in "stripper" like clothing and thought to myself that they're whores, but I guess it's just the norm... and I'm damn ok with that :D

I also like the language of Japan. I love the way it sounds and how beautiful it looks on paper. Speaking about Kanji... although beautiful, I actually think it's dumb. The only way to learn to read a certain Kanji word is to have someone teach you. You can't just look at Kanji and sound it out like you can with romanji (english letters). It's kind of sad when you see a really smart person have trouble reading their own language.

I could keep going on and on...

The food, culture, country beauty, what more... EVERYTHING! (Except the guys)

Japanese girls are cute
:mtongue:

To be honest, there are very few things about Japan that don't interest me. In no particular order, just to name a few.. Music, Movies/Dramas/Anime, Culture/history, Language...the list goes on

I have to agree. I won't lie, I like Japanese girls more-so than other races. But they were not the first thing that caught my eye about Japan. The history and culture is probably what caught my interest at first.

It's because you don't know japanese girls.

Maybe you like the way they look but really, japanese girls are a bunch of trouble.

I'd love to be given the chance to find out :D

lol its all about the women !! :D :D :rheart:

I'm surprised those haven't been mentioned yet:
- safety
- top notch service
- onsen!!!!!!!!!

I've had an attraction to the culture since I was young.
Martial arts always caught my attention (especially samurai) even though I haven't ever taken 1 class!

I find the amount of work and skill involved in making a katana (or any sword for that matter) is something which should be cherished and never lost.

The language I find is great (at least kana). I don't know any Kanji yet, so I don't have anything to say other than it's been a hard time motivating myself to learn the language on my own while looking forward to eventually memorizing a ton of them. I just want to be able to have conversations with people in Japanese & maybe do some basic reading/writing.

I also like (as someone previously said) the attitude of the general population; which is you are responsible for yourself.
I really have come to anguish in the matter of how we are babied here in the US.

The life there just seems something I would enjoy to experience.

Are there gas stations in America where you pull into the area and a bunch of people run towards your car, direct you where to go, hand you towels to clean the inside of your car, wipe off all of your windows, empty your trash and ash tray, and then even stop traffic so you can leave?

No....

Yeah same. I would have put that in my first post, but as the last thread i started got locked instantly, I didn't. I called my post something like "what do you like about japanese girls?".



Wow that is cool.
It's like a 1950's american gas station.

Most culture 'n lifestyle

Alot of reasons come to mind but the one that sticks out the most is Tranquil. It seems so much more peaceful.(Ofcourse prolly not the cities I mean the land.) Also thier culture, way of life, disipline. and the fact that they seem so much more open to ideas. The gadgets they have are so interesting as well, not boring looking or dull.
