My Dream Vacation!

My dream vocation is to go to Japan. Japan is a modern and interesting country with a

robust heritage; this place has long been famous among travelers.It is surrounded by the Sea

of Japan to the West, and the Pacific Ocean to the East.Japan's closest neighbors are

Korea, Russia and China. The Sea of Japan separates the Asian continent from the

Japanese archipelago. The population of Japan is about 125,000,000, including

approximately two million foreign residents.

Mount Fuji is the

highest mountain in

Japan at 3,776 m

(12,388 ft). An

active stratovolcano

that last erupted in

1707–08, Mount Fuji is just west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day.

Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it

is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and

climbers

A cherry blossom is

the name for the flower

of cherry trees known

as Sakura in Japanese.

In English, the word

"sakura" is equivalent
to the Japanese flowering cherry.Cherry fruit (known in Japanese as sakuranbo)

comes from another species of tree.

The romantic little island of

Miyajima lies about eight miles

(13km) off the mainland in the Seto Inland Sea. Apart from being scenically beautiful

with steep wooded hills, the island is famous for its Itsukushima Shrine featuring a

massive red wooden torii (gate). The shrine is partially built over water, and was

founded in the 6th century. During high tide the shrine stands in the ocean, which is

particularly picturesque when the building is illuminated at night.

The erosion of the limestone

plateau in the northwest of the

Hiroshima prefecture has left a

beautiful deep gorge, stretching for about 11 miles (18km), full of primeval forest,

waterfalls, monkeys, unusual rock formations and the Onbashi Bridge, the largest

natural bridge in Japan.

The composite active volcano of

Mt Aso lies almost in the center of

Kyushu Island and boasts the world's largest caldera, stretching 11 miles (18km) from

east to west and 15 miles (24km) from north to south. Inside the caldera are five

volcanic peaks, with one of them, Naka-dake, still being active and regularly emitting

smoke and ash.

 Edo Castle , lso known as Chiyoda Castle , is a flatland castle that was built in 1457

by Ōta Dōkan. It is located in Chiyoda in Tokyo, then known as Edo, Toshima

District, Musashi Province. Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa shogunate

here. It was the residence of the shogun and location of the shogunate, and also

functioned as the military capital during the Edo period of Japanese history.

To-ji, with the tallest pagoda in

Japan, was the temple founded in

794 as guardian of the then young

capital city's welfare. Today it stands about 10 minutes walk to the south of Kyoto

Station, drawing curious tourists to admire in particular its five-story pagoda, which

was rebuilt in the mid-17th century.§

Tokyo national museum is Close to Ueno Station, enclosed in the Tokyo Metropolitan

Imperial Gift Park, the National Museum boasts the largest collection of Japanese art

in the world. Exhibits range from antique kimonos and delicate pottery to woodblock

prints and archaeological finds.

Plenty of fun is to be had for the young and young at heart at Tokyo's Disney Resort,

virtually a carbon copy of the theme park found in California in the United States.

Senso-ji Temple is the Asakusa neighborhood of Tokyo draws visitors to admire the

city's oldest temple, Senso-ji, founded in AD628 with a quaint legend attached to it.

The story goes that two young brothers fishing in the nearby river netted a golden

image of Kan'non, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and were inspired to enshrine it in

the temple.
 I hope that all the factors and places that i have listed will convince teachers to go to

Japan,Tokyo. It is a nice place to go. There are still other attractions for you to visit

and it is wonderful.
