A Voyage to Japan

INTRODUCTION:

Congratulations! You have just been hired by a very successful travel agency. You must be extremely good at your job. As your first assignment you have been asked to create a brochure for the company to use to advertise their latest vacation package to Japan. As you have never been to Japan before and know very little about it, you will need to learn a lot about the country and the things that you can do there before you will be able to complete the brochure. Choose a Japanese name for your tour guide.

Write the character.

Remember, this is your chance to show the company that they made the right decision in hiring you. Good luck!

 

We are going to take a voyage across the Pacific Ocean to Japan, the land of the rising sun. Japan is a large group of islands located off of the continental mainland of Asia. You will need to learn some things. In order to do this, you will need to gather some information off of the internet and record some information. So keep a careful track of your discoveries in your journal.

Japan's closest neighbors on the continent of Asia are Russia, Korea, and China.

The capital of Japan, Tokyo, is also located on the island of Honshu. Tokyo is the world's most populated city, which means there are more people living in the city of Tokyo than any other city in the world. Like other large cities, Tokyo is a very crowded city--there are tall skyscrapers and many businesses.

Many things that we have in our homes or use every day were made in Japan. Japan is a center for many businesses that make things.

Here's a brief trip with Flat Stanley and what it is like to shop.

Let's learn some facts of Japan by answering this quiz.
