From the where the shadows of the grand Japan Alps yet hold patches of fallen snow prisoner, even on the edges of an awakening spring, I send you my greetings and a big WELCOME to JREF !!
Please spend some time with us, and little by little get to know the place and everyone, and I'm sure you'll be able to learn a lot about Japan, and make friends here too. For some questions about Japan, the search function works well--but please do look around the whole forum too.
I look forward to hearing from you as time goes by !! MM
