Life in Japan video

Life in Japan is different and there are parts of Japanese life that you can never find out if you are just visiting as a tourist. You might even stay in a traditional "ryokan" (Japanese style inn) or even have a Japanese friend be your guide. I lived in Japan for years and despite my being immersed in Japanese culture and society, I continue to discover that there are so many things about Japan that I know nothing about. While excellent knowledge of the Japanese language helps, it is not everything.

But what if you were curious about Japan but didn't have the time to do all of the above? Watch this video clip that within a matter of minutes gives you a snapshot of what life in Japan is like. Forget the lyrics and I thought the music was nice.
