People go to Tokyo to gain a rich cultural experience and give you lots of good memories. Some things you can do while you’re there are going to the Imperial Palace. It’s one place that’s a must while touring or just exploring Tokyo. It’s got parks surrounded by walls and moats, and it’s also got a bridge that is as famous as the palace itself! It’s called Nijubashi Bridge. It leads to the interior, a structure that takes its name, “double bridge”.  More about the Palace itself, it has slanted roots, very green trees, and a bridge that has become pretty dirty. The palace is really old, but it has been maintained very well. The interior had been destroyed in World War II. Also, Tokyo has breathtaking views like it’s mountains and the imperial palace (Which was mentioned before.). After being in Tokyo, you will feel connected with the cultural world.]]> 2021-11-29 00:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gtadiar241/x45xa9oyk1o19e5b/wish/1916787510 Place 2: Mount Fuji gtadiar241 https://padlet.com/gtadiar241/x45xa9oyk1o19e5b/wish/1916788614 Your next stop could be Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji is near the center of Japan. West of Tokyo making it a good idea to move there seeing as it’s really close. Some things you can do when you're at Mount Fuji are hiking and sightseeing. One place to sightsee is from the top of the mountain. From all the way up there, everything is sure to look like an ant (Only in summer because it’s not safe to climb when the snow is there.). Or, when it’s not summer you can look at the mountain from afar. When it is summer, Mount Fuji is covered in greenery, but getting closer to the top you can see a lot of brown dirt and even closer to the top you can see the volcano hole (Mount Fuji used to be a volcano). In winter, the mountain is covered in snow. All of the greenery is gone. And, you’re not allowed to hike anymore! (Because of all the snow it’s easy to slip and, I think you know what can result from that.) After leaving Mount Fuji, you’ll be (assuming you went in summer) leaving with great pictures of the amazing views or, 
(assuming you went in winter) you’re possibly dead (assuming you decided to break the rules), or have some cool pictures of the mountain from far away.

(meaning they’re very environmentally friendly). For example they take recycling very, very seriously. And kids, despite being very young, are taught to take care of themselves. Walking to school on their own and cleaning up after themselves. Their government really enforces taking care of the environment. In fact, it’s a part of their religion. Shinto as it’s called. It’s about worshipping the forces of nature.
