💮 Facts about Ueno Park 💮

Ueno Park (上野公園, Ueno Kōen) is a spacious public park in the Ueno district of Taitō, Tokyo, Japan. The park was established in 1873 on lands formerly belonging to the temple of Kan'ei-ji. Amongst the country's first public parks, it was founded following the western example as part of the borrowing and assimilation of international practices that characterizes the early Meiji period. The home of a number of major museums, Ueno Park is also celebrated in spring for its cherry blossoms and hanami. In recent times the park and its attractions have drawn over ten million visitors a year, making it Japan's most popular city park. If your travels allow for only a brief stay in Japan, there would likely be no better place to check out than Ueno Park. This area offers a smorgasbord of attractions that allow visitors to sample many of the country’s unique charms within a single venue. Furthermore, there is an awesome bustling shopping bazaar to investigate called Ameya Yokocho which features the remnants of an ancient black market.

Lastly, if you like off-beat destinations, we also recommend that you take a look at nearby Yanaka. The area was one of only a few to survive the destructive ravages of World War II and therefore provides an authentic gateway into Tokyo’s historic and cultural past.

🍚 Japanese Food Facts #1🍚

• The typical Japanese meal consists of rice, served with meat, fish or vegetables. Pickles and soup also forms a part of the traditional Japanese meal.
• Now, another amusing fact about Japanese food and drink is that it is considered good manners to slurp noodles in soup like Ramen. However, one is not expected to slurp only the soup, like the miso.
• Talking of miso soup, the soup is very good for digestion and hence, should be eaten at the beginning of the meal; and not at the end.
• There are very few or literally negligible vegetarians or non-meat eaters in Japan. This may be because of their deep passion for sea food or the fact that most of the Japanese dishes consist of sea food, meat and pork!
• Raw horse meat, octopus meat and whale meat are some of the most popular types of meat in Japan.
• In most of the Japanese restaurants, moist towels are presented before food. This is to wipe hands beforehand. However, one should remember that the towels are to be used only to clean hands and not the face or any other part of the body.

🍘 Japanese Food Facts #2 🍘

• Just like Chinese cuisine, chopsticks are used to eat several Japanese dishes. However, one should remember to follow the chopsticks etiquette when using them in formal events. It is rude to insert the chopsticks straight vertically into the food.
• A large number of American and other food chains are found in Japan. However, the menu is dominated by traditional choices. For e.g., as corn and seafood are the common ingredients found in the Japanese pizza, this localized variety is found in pizzas made by ‘Italian restaurants’.
• Lastly, the Japanese believe that one not only eats with the mouth but also through the eyes, and hence, the appearance and presentation of the food should also be given the utmost priority.

What makes Japan special / Why I would like to move to Japan / Why would someone want to go to Japan

The reason why Japan is special and why I want to move there is because of it’s beautiful culture. Japan has always had a reputation for its distinctive culture and unique traditions. As an island nation with a long history of isolation, many aspects of the culture developed completely unaffected by outside influences. But there are so many other reasons why Japan is the most unique country in the world.

Someone should visit Japan because of the incredible natural landscapes, the majestic temples, unique castles, the spectacular cherry blossom season, the exciting summer festivals, world class powder snow, the chance to bathe in a natural hot spring, the superb Japanese cuisine, and much more!
