Fuji Adventure pam_canavan https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/156864967 2017-02-28 20:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/156864967 One of the most fantastic days of my trip to Japan, was my visit to Mt. Fuji. For centuries, people of Japan have worshiped this sacred mountain. Since we were in Tokyo, we decided to go by train to Osaka. Traveling in a Japanese train was very different than an American train. Japan has high speed trains (bullet trains) called shinkansen (新幹線) . We knew we had to arrive at the train station early because these trains are known for their punctuality. They travel at speeds of up to 320/km hour. The ride is so smooth I hardly notice the movement. One thing I noticed was how quiet and polite everyone is on the train. You do not hear anyone’s music or see small children running up and down the aisles. It took about 45 minutes and the conductor announced that we had reached Shin-Fuji Station. We gathered up all of our belongings and left the train.Along with about 25 other tourists, we headed off to Fuji Five Lake. It was a leisurely walk. We had brought warm clothing because it is quite cool in March. We also brought our lunch for a picnic We had rice, fish and soup. It was pretty good. I would rather have a taco for lunch.Finally, we reached the mountain. It was incredible. Well worth the trip. We were lucky enough to visit on a clear day. Our view was phenomenal. We spent our time taking pictures and hiking around the base of the mountain by the lake. pam_canavan https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/156876442 2017-02-28 21:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/156876442 Japaneses Government pam_canavan https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/159335975 Japan has a parliamentary system of government like Britain and Canada. Unlike the Americans or the French, the Japanese do not elect a president directly. Diet members elect a prime minister from among themselves. The prime minister forms and leads the cabinet of ministers of state.]]> 2017-03-10 17:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/159335975 Haiku pam_canavan https://padlet.com/pam_canavan/75lf3utn62ra/wish/159363306                           Water trickling down

    Ameyayokocho Market

    Tucked between the Okachimachi and Ueno Stations, candy lovers flock to Ameya Yokocho (candy story alley) Market. Although the market may have initially sold sweets, the stalls now offer all sorts of wares, selling everything from comic stores to fresh fish. To experience Ameya Yokocho like a local, head to one of the Izakaya bars, which serve up meat skewers and local beers.
