I started out by loving Japanese anime and manga. That eventually evolved into a fascination with the language that lives on even today. During my brief, month-long trip overseas last year, I gained a stronger fondness for the country. There are a number of places over there- mostly in shrines- that I feel a great deal of peace. Not to mention several of their historical landmarks are absolutely beautiful.

I do really love Japan and its people. I am an Indian, relatively new to Japan, trying to know more about Japan and its culture. I used to write my experiences about Japan in my blog http://mylifeinjapan-jayaprakash.blogspot.com/
If you really want to know why like Japan, the reasons I have written in my blog as my experience.

I love Japan because of japanese dramas, Japanese anime and comics, Japanese songs, and the language is cute. The letter in nihongo also nice, but i cant understand it... Its difficult. I do like the martial art like Aikido and samurai... Nice! I wanna join any martial art like that. They look gorgeous with hakama...
They do also has unique style for fashion, and the hairstyle is gorgeous... Just like Mika nakashima and ayumi hamasaki, they are artists who famous with unique style.

Japan was an enemy of the Chinese, Filipinos, and Americans during WWII of the 1940s, thus it is not easy for many of the older generations with memories of the war atrocities to love the Japan.
But for many of us of the younger generation, we grew up with Japanese anime, cars, electronics, and food.
What I admire among the Japanese is there diligence, which is the one of the reasons for their prosperity.
In terms of geography, the only thing that comes to my mind is Fuji mountain.

Actually, yeah. I really like Japan although I haven't been there yet. I will go there someday. You know when I was a kid, I always admired those little documentaries about Japan. The places, arts, culture, and even technology. In most parts of their country, the heritage of old japan is still alive. You'll see old structures and they are cleaner than some of the most modern ones.
It could be just their way of life is simple. Although, I haven't had the chance to observe closely what they do day to day. I won't give up a chance if it shows up. And yeah, most of the Japanese I've met are nice as well. I actually have a 2nd degree uncle who is 100% Japanese. He's nice to the family.

First I have to admit Japan was advanced in many ways ,but i do not like it .
I will never like a country who in the past started the world war and afterward refused to admit his crime,changed his history books ,and ignore the objections from those victim conutries..
I appreciate its advantage in science and technology,but hate its beheavor towards historical problems..
of course ,,that's just my individual opinion...
