Why I Love Japan

I am going to write about why I love Japan through photos for you guys. :) Ever since I started reading manga in the 8th grade and watched anime more in the 9th grade, I started looking up Japanese culture and I am in love with it and one of my life's goals is to go to Japan.
I am going to post pictures and tell you about each one in a sentence.

Only blooming in springtime, the cherry blossom is a beautiful sweet smelling flower

Japanese fashion is so unique and different

Shops, no matter what they're for, have so much variety and good quality items

Look at these japanese toys!

Pocky, as well as other japanese candy, is popular and tasty in Japan as well as here in the U.S.

Japanese dishes are full of amazing flavor and good ingredients, delicious :D

Singers are as popular in Japan as singers in the U.S., many are well liked here :3

Japanese live action movies are creative and appeal to many who like anime and manga

Anime/manga is popular with people of all ages all over the world, and has many different art styles

This style, called lolita, has many different versions (gothic, cute, punk) and has been around not only now but for many many years

Japan is best known for the mulitude of amazing video games it brings to the U.S.

These are the reasons why I love Japan, the main ones I can think of right now anyway. :)  Please tell me your reason why you love Japan and let me know your favorite anime/manga!
