Japan

Flag of Japan

Japan is a small Asian country on the east side of Asia. Japan is typically very hot during the summer but has harsh winters — but because winter is short in Japan, it's typically warm year-round.

Japan is most famous for its technology, art, and traditional arts. Most people tend to visit Japan for their love of anime, manga, and Japanese art; others may visit for the culture and tradition, and others come for all of those reasons — this is what Japan is mostly famous for. Japan also has many visitors that come only for the food, like traditional meals and desserts.
