A Different Way of Viewing and Doing Japan Most people who visit
Japan as tourists are kept on a pre-set course that takes them to
and by a variety of attractions, limiting their experiences to a
small sampling of the diversity and richness that make up the
essence of life in Japan. The depth and breadth of the whole Japan
experience is, in fact, incredible and cannot be packaged into
several days or even several weeks. However, even visitors who are
bound by time constraints and well-beaten tours can enliven and
enrich their experiences by participating in at least a few unique
customs and practices. This ranges from visiting areas in Tokyo and
elsewhere that have retained the look and flavor of Japan's feudal
shogunate era, to spending time in one or more of the remaining
castles that were the homes and fortresses of fief clan lords from
the 1600s to 1870. This book gets down to the nitty-gritty on the
frame of mind you need to have for a rewarding visit-or stay-in
Japan; on what you should know before you get there; on the effect
seasons will have on your visit; on the background of Japan's
cultural attractions; and on off-beat things that regular tourist
itineraries do not cover. These insights and information add a
special dimension to the Japan experience even if it is just for a
few days. The book also includes selected Japanese language
vocabulary and common everyday expressions that will add a fourth
dimension to your visit. All of these words and expressions are
rendered in Romanized letters and in English phonetics that
duplicate their Japanese pronunciation, meaning that when you speak
or read the phonetics out loud the sounds come out "in Japanese "
Here are some examples: Good Morning Ohayo-gozaimasu
Oh-hah-yoe-go-zie-mahss] Used from early morning until about 10am
when you are meeting an individual for the first time that morning.
Hello / good day, good afternoon Konnichi wa Kone-nee-chee wah]
Used from about 10am until dusk or just before. Good Evening Komban
wa Kome-bahn wah] Used from the onset of dusk until midnight. What
is your name? Onamae wa nan desu ka? Oh-nah-my wah nahn dess kah?
How are you? Ikaga desu ka? Ee-kah-gah dess kah?] I'm fine Genki
desu Gane-kee dess] Being able to say a number of key things in
Japanese will totally change the flavor of your visit. You can
easily memorize the simpler greetings and expressions in advance.
