JapanBy: Maritza MataIf you had a free plane ticket to go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Could it be somewhere in Brazil? Or the European country of Ireland? Although these countries are among the best choices for a few people living in the United States and other parts of the world, another undoubtedly common answer would be Japan. Japan is located in Eastern Asia and has a population of 127,103,392, making it the tenth most populous country in the world. Japan is actually an incredible place, once you take into account its incredible environment, its people and their culture, as well as the sights of the nation, the answer would come very easily. To begin with, Japan has a varied physical geography. For example, it is home to several rivers. The three longest rivers in Japan are the Shinano River, the Tone River and the Ishikari River respectively. The length of the Shinano River is approximately 228 miles and eventually flows into the Sea of ​​Japan. The Tone River stretches for about 200 miles, leaving it slightly shorter than the Shinano. This leaves Ishikari as the shortest of the three, flowing only about 167 miles. However, these rivers are not the only wonders of the archipelago. Around 200 volcanoes rise in the country, 60 of which are active. Among them are the remarkable Unzen Volcano and Sakurajima, which rises to 1,711 feet. Both volcanoes are located in Kyushu, Japan. The only difference (aside from height) is the exact locations; Unzen is adjacent to Shimabara, while Sakurajima is near Kagoshima City. Due to the existence of volcanoes, hot springs are found at their base. In addition to rivers and volcanoes, Japan also has mountains. The country's main mountain range is the Japanese Alps. Middle of paper, you can visit Ryoanji Temple to admire nature. Transformed into a Zen temple in 1405, it houses the famous rock garden, made up of small pebbles and large rocks. The day of creation, intended performance and creator of the show continues to be a mystery to locals and tourists. The latest marvelous spectacle discovered in Japan is the Tokyo Skytree. The Tokyo Skytree is 2,080 feet tall, making it the tallest structure in all of Japan! Its 29 floors have multiple functions, such as an aquarium, a restaurant and a shopping center. Considering all of this, it's not that mysterious why people revere Japan. The country's incredible geography, population and various tourist spots do wonders to captivate the minds of people around the world. Japan, like every other place on earth, has unique qualities that make it a great place to see at least once in a lifetime..
