102 Things to do in Japan (Part 6)
posted by John Spacey, Japan Talk, April 29, 2012
51. Visit a Ninja Village Several Japanese towns including Koka city in Shiga prefecture feature historical Ninja houses (e.g. Koka City Ninja Village). Ninja houses typically have secret passageways, traps, mazes, Ninja training rooms and Ninja artifacts. Recommended for history buffs, ninja fans and kids.
52. Attend a Japanese Motor Industry EventAuto enthusiasts will enjoy Japan's motor industry events such as the Tokyo Motor Show and Tokyo Auto Salon.
53. Wear a YukataJapanese Yukata are inexpensive and easy to wear. Ryokan provide yukata to guests. If you attend a Japanese summer festival or fireworks show it's highly recommended to wear yukata.
54. Try OkonomiyakiOkonomiyaki are Japanese savory (not sweet) pancakes. They developed as a way to use up leftovers. Most okonomiyaki restaurants allow customers to customize ingredients. Many restaurants have customers cook their own okonomiyaki at a grill at their table. Popular ingredients include pork, mochi, cheese, vegetables and seafood.
55. Explore a Japanese CastleJapan has over 100 castles. Recommended castles include Himeji Castle (Hyogo prefecture) near Kyoto, Matsumoto Castle (Nagano prefecture), and Nijo Castle (Kyoto).
56. Dine at a Yakiniku RestaurantYakiniku Restaurants provide customers raw meat, seafood, vegetables and a table with a hot coal grill. It's like having a barbeque party in a restaurant (urban Japanese people typically don't have backyards). Minor caution: yakiniku restaurants are the smokiest places in Japan.
57. Shop at a Japanese Department StoreJapanese Department Stores are shopping wonderlands not to be missed.
58. Attend a Martial Arts EventNumerous martial arts events are held each year in Japan. Our favorite is the Toshiya Festival (Kyoto's 400 year old archery competition). Check the Japan event schedule for details.
59. Go SurfingOver 1 million Japanese people can surf. There are many fine beach breaks within easy reach of Tokyo in Chiba, Yokohama, Kamakura and Izu. Fair weather surfers are out in July and August. The rest of the year you need a full wetsuit (in winter boots are recommended).
60. Check out Japanese Street FashionsJapanese people (and Tokyoites in particular) are fashionable. It's interesting to see the chic crowd in Ginza and Omotesando, the youth subculture fashions of Harujuku and Shibuya and the hipsters of Shimokitazawa and Koenji.

Im here cause Id like to make a friend from Japan, my hope is to go there during the summer in about 2 years and itd be nice to have someone to visit and show me around the sights and sounds so im not total moron when it comes to the country :P.My hobbies are kind of my life as well, im going to university to get a degree in game art and animation, I really want to be a art director for my own video games, and its my dream to do character designs like my idol - Tetsuya Nomura(FFVII, Kingdom Hearts, ect.)I like some Anime, but im more into video games, I love games like Final Fantasy and pretty much anything from Square-Enix. Im a Sony Fanboy if you have a problem with that were already not compatible. I love music, Rock, Techno, J-Rock, and thats about it, I have an open mind toward J-Pop but hate most of it. I like to listen to music and escape reality in all honesty. If youre a beautiful Japanese girl then id really like to meet you lol. :PI know some japanese but not much so I hope to learn more of the language through a penpal.
