Current Information About Japan

By: Jessica

Japan is a very unique country. The Japanese people are wonderful architects since they make beautiful houses and bridges. Many of the houses have walls that look so very delicate. They are so delicate they look like tissue paper!

Japanese gardens are also magnificent. The gardens are so dazzling that they look like those out of a storybook.

The main religions in Japan are Shintoism (111.8 million), Buddhism (93.1 million), Christian (1.4 million),and other (11.4 million) All of these people learn to treat other people well. Whether you have the Torah or Bible, worship Christ or God, you always learn to treat other people nicely.

Some of the foods (agriculture) are: rice, pork, sugar beets, vegetables, fruit, poultry, dairy products, eggs and fish. Japanese agriculture is almost the exact same food that Americans have.

The Japanese people's jobs (labor force) are almost the same as Americans, such as construction, making vehicles and parts for them. Hondas are one of the main cars that Japan makes.

Japan has approximately 1,000 earthquakes per year! Most of them are minor though. Offshore earthquakes can make tsunamis (massive waves) that can create destruction along the Pacific shore. However, Japanese people must work very hard because they still manage to make houses again. Also, several Japanese mountains are active volcanoes. All in all, Japan is a very interesting country.
