Even Adults Will Love Kids Web Japan

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:00:54 +0000

Are you brining kids with you when you visit Tokyo? I am a big advocate about reading and learning about a destination before I visit and Kids Web Japan offers a lot of great information that is accessible, understandable and fun for children of all ages.

Read folk tales from Japan or learn about native foods and dress. Learn more about what’s cool, the language or even play some virtual games. There is a lot of information available on this great website and it is one that I recommend exploring with or without your kids.

The time spent learning about Japan will enrich your visit and allow you to recognize the significance, and understand the history, behind many of the of the things that you will see and do on your trip.

Nihon on the Net

A cool article about meishi, the etiquette of business cards in Japan. This is a must read if you are traveling to Japan on business and an interesting read even if you’re not.

On Thursday morning my hubby and I awoke to a 6.7 magnitude earthquake centered about 160 miles outside of Tokyo. As I wrote on my personal blog, the experience was a bit nerve wracking.

The number of pets in Japan surpasses the number of children under the age of 15.

Lastly, the writers in the b5 travel and culture channel bring you some great photos from the cities that we write about. Why don’t you do a little armchair traveling and check them out?

Or, check out all of the cocktails that we came up with in honor of World Cocktail Week. Of course my favorite is the Sake Margarita!
