It all started with Anime but I've since grown to love the culture, cuisine ( Which i can't stop eating), the people and shintoism
 
I really love the Scenery and the Culture, when I was about 10 I saw videos and photos of Japan in the Spring in certain areas, it was beautiful with the sakura in the air. I also love the culture and the Language, I was a huge anime fan all my life, starting out as most people with Anime like Voltron and Dragon Ball as my first haha. Later in life I found that I was growing more fond of the culture and began reading the History of Japan, I met my fiance` about a year ago and have since then been looking into more, solidified plans for our future.

Being an aspiring artist and improving my work where ever possible, my dream and goal in life is to be an animator and game designer, Japan just bursts at the seams with inspiration for me. I find Japan's history and Heritage VERY interesting, and its language is beautiful, which is why I have been spending so much time learning it. I look forward to moving there in the near future, its a land of great opportunity and intrigue.
Oh and the Cars... Japanese cars are always nice lol :D
 
I actually love to explore the Japan culture. It fascinates me to see the way they are living, their culture, the way their dress. I admire their talent in creating Manga, cos play artist.. :)
 
Hello my friends,
I'm new member on jref forum. And, I'm interested in this topic. Totally this is topic which I look for it.
Ehm, First ona is "Manga & Anime". I realy like Japan M&As. Although I'm 20-year-old I like watching cartoon especially Japan Animes. And, I am amateur manga painter, I try to draw some Japan girls or Anima characters ^^

Martial Art! If there is that word "art" in an article, I absolutely interested in it. :) But I'm sorry, cos I was injured on my right knee, so I couldn't begin to martial arts. But never mind, I am continue to doing sport regularly.

Japanese culture always make me crazy. I don't know why but I love Japanese culture, traditional things etc.

Japanese people! Aha, that is the best thing why I like Japan! According to my researchs, Japanese people friendly and faithful, right? Japanese people relay smart and createful. I hope I will meet with Japanese people in Japan, a day. By the way, I hesitate to say but, I want to merried with a Japan girl for my future life. :)

Japanese language is my favourite language. My mutual language is Turkish and I learned English and try to improve it. But, I want to learn Japanese, Japanese and Japanese... :)

I wonder that how like is Japanese foods tastes. I hope I will taste them when I come to Japan. :) Delicious...

I think that is so.. I hope I am succesful at mention about my though about Japan. If you want to contact to me you can find me Facebook and Twitter by this nick name "suhanalp" . And, also my website is available for visits ;)

nice to know you
Suhan Alp :)
 
I'm much more intrested in its cultural heritage and traditional arts over the massive pop culture, but I do enjoy a few Anime too.
 
The modesty and constant stride for perfectionism. I got hooked on Miyamoto Musashi's 五輪書 Go Rin No Sho. The pop culture is pretty awesome too :)
 
I did everything except video games and martial arts. I love martial arts in a way, just in movies :D
And I like video games, just I have a different style of the video games I like compared to the Japanese ones. So all in all, I pretty much like them all ^-^
 
I particularly love the art of the origamis and the japanese food.
I've learned how to make origamis mostly because i think is quite cooooollll and beautifull!!
 
I would have to say the language and the people just seeing a different mindset is cool.
 
I have never been to Japan, but I know many things about Japan, I know Japaness cherry blossom is very famous and very beautiful. If there have a chance for me I will go to Japan to see the beauty of their cherry blossom.
 
Japanese are interesting people. They are nice and friendly in the way they talk. But once they get to know you, they are not nice and friendly anymore. However, by not being nice and friendly is the true nice and friendly.
 
What I love the most is traveling in Japan, but I guess that falls under "culture in general".
I visit a lot of castles, temples and shrines, but also nature (waterfalls, parks, hiking etc. ..)

I used to be very interested in the Japanese language and studied like crazy. I've just gotten to busy to do that.

I'm also in love with Japanese taiko!
 
I love their temples and shrines too.
At first when i was in Japan, temple and shrine were almost the same to me.

I think Kyoto , Nara and Kamakura has the best temples and shrines.
 
I'm interested in several areas of Japan, like history, culture, food, video games, films etc etc

Did you ever visit any of the ones that don't have tour bus parking lots?
 
My love definitely started with Anime, then as I got older and into high school it started to increase from there. japanese people, food, culture, traditions, and most importantly video games ;D
 
If i didnt mention ghosts, then ghosts, i think ghosts are fascinating, our dead brothers and sisters from the land of the dead returned to the land of the living, crossing the veil to return to their old home and wander among their living cousins.

Anyway all that aside I find Japanese ghosts very interesting, for example the ghost of the WW2 soldier caught in the old tunnels and heard saying "I am going to kill you" (Ghost caught on tape during radiation leak testing in old Japan WWII tunnels - YouTube) to the ghosts of Okinawa , running to the air raid shelters, to the ghost girl in the hospital, to the ancient Onryo of centuries ago, all fascinating to me.
 
i dont give a shite, i believe in ghosts just as i believe in gods, heaven, hell, demons, satan, purgatory etc
 
Before going to Japan, i was going crazy about it, it was dreamland in my mind, my trip was ******* crazy as hell there !
I did everything i wanted in japan, and now i don't give a **** anymore............. GOT TO MOVE ON!!
True story; no trolling ...
