It is in central Japan 120 kilometers from Tokyo, its capital.The full name of the mountain is Fujisan: Fu, wealth; Hee, samurai; San, mountain. It was initially a training ground for these warriors of ancient Japan; now it is an area of ​​military bases at the foot of the mountain.The tourist staff has excursions to ascend on foot or by vehicle, but these only go as far as the fifth station, at an altitude of 2300 meters.Although the ideal is to reach the highest, if you do not do it (something that happens with many tourists), you can still visit sanctuaries]]> 2021-11-29 23:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/barukabeltran/vof6vff55s3r3n77/wish/1919124464 barukabeltran https://padlet.com/barukabeltran/vof6vff55s3r3n77/wish/1919139030 Another emblematic place is the Fushimi Inari Shrine, in Kyoto, which is to pay tribute to Inari, the god of rice. Its most attractive feature is its thousands of torii, the traditional Japanese bow that separates the profane from the sacred. They usually have red or vermilion hues. The torii are donated by merchants with their names or the names of their businesses, so that Inari may grant them a bonanza. The route through these exceeds 4 kilometers, so you must bring water to hydrate yourself. The sanctuary surpassed 2 million visits in 2017 alone.

From Hiroshima you take a ferry that will leave you in this beautiful destination in just 20 minutes. Life on the island revolves around Miyajima (sanctuary island) which has an immense torii at its entrance, which has become an emblem for all of Japan. It is one of the images that is repeated the most in tourist guides. The particularity of the sanctuary is that it is built on the sea. When the water level is low, you can walk to the great torii and it is only from there that you can appreciate its immensity. When the tide is high, it seems to be floating: an effect without comparison. The sanctuary has small buildings where ceremonies are held. Some of them have corridors that connect them. Outside of this, you can enjoy a small cruise that crosses the island with all the comforts of a tourist boat.

These rice rolls date from the 4th century BC. C, and served to preserve the fish. Today they are the favorite food to dip in soy sauce. Preparing sushi is an art and it takes decades to become a true sushi master - you can spend years just learning how to make rice right. The best sushi can be found in Ginza (Tokyo) and in the country's fishing ports, but you can also go to a kaiten-zushi, one of the many restaurants where it is served on a conveyor belt, which are more affordable.

Noodle ramen is as simple to make as it is delicious: use wheat noodles, such as Chinese ones (they are yellowish and look a bit like spaghetti), put them in broth and top with slices of meat, dried seaweed and green onion. Many people eat ramen for lunch, and in Japan it is considered fast food. However, many restaurants have their own secret recipe, so the experience can be unique (umami) each time.

The broth is the natural habitat of the udon, topped with chives, tempura or tofu. If you spend enough time in Japan, people will ask you if you are an udon or soba person, so be sure to try them all and pick your favorites. Anyway, when you eat ramen, soba or udon, you have to sip them loudly, it is considered polite and a sign that you are liking the food.

Contemporary clothing, on the other hand, tends towards the exotic, the rococo and towards hypercapitalist designer styles, which have made fashion in Japan a kind of extreme reflection of certain Western trends.
