Fukai Nihon 深い日本 - Shades from Japan
Shinkansen 新幹線 the flagship of the Japanese Railways
Shinkansen 新幹線 is the name given to trains of Japan's high-speed rail service, it is also known as "bullet train" due to its tapered shape. Since it was first introduced in Japan at the Tokyo Olympics, it has since carried millions of people across the country, Japanese and tourists alike. An incredible experience that allows you to cross Japan in all its entirety (or almost).
Komainu 狛犬 are the guardian statues of Japanese temples and shrines
The Komainu, also known as Japanese shrine guardians, are an important and revered figure in Japanese culture. These statues of lions or dogs (but not only we can also find foxes or even raccoons) have an imposing and elegant presence and a fascinating and compelling history that dates back centuries.
Pachinko パチンコ gambling among the most popular in Japan
Pachinko is a very popular game in Japan, where halls are present in every city. It is a gaming machine similar to slot machines, but with some differences that make it unique. A small paradox because Pachinko is a game of chance, but halls are springing up like mushrooms, why?
Seifuku 制服 Japanese school uniforms
Japanese school uniforms, called seifuku 制服, are an important part of Japanese school culture. They are compulsory uniforms for primary and secondary school students and are also used in some universities. But they have gone beyond the mere scholastic aspect, becoming a pop icon and beyond.
