Memory of Japan

(1)Mount Fuji.

I think most of us have already heard about Mount Fuji,very famous in Japan.Japan’s highest mountain.However the best time to view the mountain is in the winter months when visibility is best.  Since many people climb the mountain hiking trails and facilities are well established and there is a considerable amount of development on the mountain. However, Mount Fuji lacks train access.

(2) Himeji Castle Japan’s most famous castle and one of twelve that is in its original condition. Known as the “White Heron Castle”, it is one of the three most famous in the country, and the most visited. Its fame, not to mention its beauty, is perhaps why it was used as one of the locations for shooting the 007 film, Y the castle is surrounded by pine and cheery trees, which make it especially scenic in the spring. also include in UNESCO World Heritage Site

(3) Bomb Dome Hiroshima

Scary right???

but I think this place was very memorable,and full of emphaty.

The Bomb Dome has the dubious distinction of being almost directly under “Little Boy” when it detonated over Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Today, it’s the centerpiece of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and consequently attracts thousands of people to the otherwise industrial city. It was made a Unesco world heritage site in 1996 although both the United States and China strongly objected. The museum has some very graphic photos of the aftereffects, which killed 70,000. Much debate continues today over the necessity of the bomb.
