An Eye-Catching Introduction to Japan This approximately 4-minute video, focusing on modern-day Japan as seen by foreign tourists and travelers, boasts a level of quality that has attracted major interest not only in Japan but in various countries throughout the world. This video's footage goes above and beyond other Japan PR videos and keeps viewers glued to the screen. By the video's end, you'll most likely feel an indescribable surge of emotions, such as those experienced after viewing a magnificent movie of epic proportions! Highlights of the Japanese Introduction Video, "in Japan" This video, "In Japan," taken in 2015 by German filmmaker/creator Vincent Urban, is a nearly 4-minute collection of footage of his 3-week journey in Japan to locations including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima. In taking a look at images of landscapes and scenery natural and commonplace to Japanese people which are projected from a foreigner’s perspective, even we as Japanese natives can perceive such images as unknown, brand new discoveries and never-before-seen sights and scenes, and this video therefore allows us to learn about the appeal and charm of Japan in a brand new light. Viewers of this video can also agree that its high quality BGM and camera work is yet another reason for its high acclaim both in and out of Japan.

Japan as Seen Through Cultural Changes Photo：Sumo Learning about shifts in modern Japanese culture gives us deeper insights into the allure and attraction of Japan as a nation in the present day. Japan of yore once had superb classic culture primarily consisting of artistic traditional crafts, and as you can see in the video, festivals and martial arts passed down to Japan from ancient times have been regarded as symbolizing the very culture of "Nihon no Wa," or "The Spirit of Japan." It is also well-known that Japan is the birthplace of kendo and sumo wrestling which are now sports famous all the world over. In addition, present-day Japan is going through transitions in which its forms of entertainment, such as manga (Japanese comics/cartoons) and anime (Japanese animation), formerly considered to be types of sub-culture, have been disseminated throughout the globe to be cherished by multitudes of people as pop culture. This signifies shifts in the image of "Japan" in the eyes of foreigners abroad from that of a land of ninja and samurai to an anime & manga nation. The Akihabara area, now the "Mecca" of anime and manga which serves as the center of Japanese contemporary culture, has become a well-known tourist location which draws huge numbers of sightseers visiting Japan, and it's also popular as a town for shopping.

Locations in Japan shown in the video, such as Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo and the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima, are highly recommended tourist spots in Japan which are renowned even on a global scale. The existence of temples and shrines in Japan, whose number is too great to mention here, attracts hosts of foreign sightseers day by day, and this is proof of how Japan enjoys deep-rooted popularity as a tourist destination amongst abroad residents all over the world. Japan as Seen Through Nature ©Izu City Modifying The richness and abundance of nature, amongst other aspects, is definitely a thing to behold here in Japan. Japan's largest mountain, Mt. Fuji, and its bamboo forest, also featured in the video, are without a doubt natural tourist spots that represent the glory of Japan. The view from Mt. Fuji's summit, in particular, is easily summed up by the words "magnificent scenery," and once you experience climbing this mountain on your own, you'll be able to appreciate the thrill and excitement of this spectacle all the more. Such natural splendor is just one more example of a globally sought-after sightseeing attraction highly recommended in Japan, a fact testified to by the unceasing droves of tourists from abroad who visit day-to-day without end.

The three facilities introduced are The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution" in Chuo Ward (中央区, Chuo-ku),Kobe City (神戸市, Kobe-shi), "Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Center" in Minami Ward (南区, Minami-ku), Kyoto City (京都市, Kyoto-shi) and "Abeno Tasukaru (Abeno Disaster Prevention Learning Center)" in Abeno Ward(阿倍野区,Abenoku), Osaka City (大阪市, Osaka-shi). One of the main features of these Disaster Prevention Learning Centers is that you can experience a simulation of earthquakes or tsunamis. You can learn the terror of earthquakes and how to react when one happens, through this realistic experience. Be sure to check out what these experience look like in the video. The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution Source :YouTube screenshot "The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution" in Chuo Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture(兵庫県,Hyogo-ken) is introduced at the beginning of the video. This facility was made for people to learn, and experience disasters, and to raise awareness about disaster prevention and mitigation in response to the Great Awaji-Hanshin Earthquake. The "Tsunami Evacuation Experience Corner," shown at the beginning of the video, was built in 2017. You can experience the difficulty of walking during a tsunami by wearing walking equipment that puts weight on your feet, surrounded by a live-action film of Takase Town (高瀬町, Takase-cho), in Japan's Shikoku region (四国地方, Shikoku-chiho), which is expected to be hit with floods and tsunamis when the Nankai Trough Earthquake hits, as well as 3D-footage of a tsunami. Experiencing how difficult it can be to walk through the water pressure of a rushing tsunami can help you understand the need to evacuate as soon as possible. Through videos and storytellers, the experiences and lessons of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake are being passed on to the next generation. Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Center Source :YouTube screenshot Up next is the Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Center The earthquake experience room is introduced at 1:25 in the video.

Summary of Disaster Prevention Centers in the Kansai Region Source :YouTube screenshot Japan was hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016, and the affected areas are still recovering. As you can see in the video, disaster prevention learning facilities that allow people to learn to prepare for future earthquakes, while preserving the memory of past earthquakes, have become more realistic in recent years. When the time comes, you are most likely to panic and not know how to act. When it comes to an emergency, it is possible to panic and not know what to do.

A distinctive feature of the building is its focus on "rice" and "agriculture" as part of Yanmar's "HANASAKA" value initiative. In the heart of Tokyo's Yaesu district, the facility also plays a role as a base for supporting new farmers and disseminating information on food production. In addition, Yanmar Tokyo serves as a place where visitors can learn about rice and agriculture, including restaurants where they can enjoy rice and a hands-on gallery where they can learn about rice.

People make efforts to make one thousand cranes to wish someone good health or peace throughout the land. It's a common tradition in Japan. The History and Origin of Origami Origami came to be somewhere around the 7th century. The quality of the paper was not the best back then and people tried different materials and manufacturing methods to make the paper thin and smooth. Around the Heian period (from 794 to 1185), paper was used only to keep records and to make handwritten copies of sutras. When paper started being used for ritual offerings, people began experimenting with how to wrap their ritual offerings beautifully within the paper. After the Muromachi period (1336-1573), paper folding to create works of art had become rooted in the culture. Different Types of Folding! Photo：Origami Making Shuriken requires two pieces of paper and is popular among kids. You can also make different animals such as giraffes and lions. Try making different origami projects. The Japanese tradition of Origami involves not just folding, but is also used for paper-cut art projects. Using scissors or a box cutter to cut the paper, you can make beautiful works of art.
