INTERESTS & ACTIVITIES

Geisha dance

Visitors turn up in Japan for a great variety of reasons. There’s even a popular weekly Japanese TV program that follows foreign visitors around, seeing why they came and what they get up to – much to the incredulity of Japanese viewers.

“Why did you come to Japan?” is one of the most watched shows on Japanese TV! So if a TV crew comes up to you in the airport arrivals area.....

Foreigners turn up to do everything from learning karate in Okinawa, to studying the garden art of bonsai, training to become a geisha or trying their hand as a yamabushi, an ascetic mountain priest.
