Well most of Japan is warmer then most of Alaska. :P So that is part of it. I didn’t think about Osaka Castle, mostly because I didn’t realize that it was open to the public, for some reason I didn’t think I’d be able to do more then see it from the outside, so thanks for the idea Joel. Rowen the first part is going to be annoying to go through, but I knew that going into this, as I took a year of Japanese in high school though I’ve forgotten most of the writing and combinations. I will keep the forums updated while I’m on my trip, though as I said it won’t be for about a year. Thanks everyone.
I chose it as a destination because several of my friends and myself like the Japanese culture, most of us watch anime, some more then others, and some of us have actively studied the culture there. Personally I’ve been fascinated with the temples and history of Japan from a fairly young age, I think I was about 10 or so when I started learning about it. I had been considering it for a few years before now, but about two months ago one of my friends and I were talking about possibly going to Japan, both of us want to see some of the temples and I wouldn’t mind seeing a few of the more historic locations where some of the battles happened during the Warring States period, especially some of the ones that Oda Nobunaga was at.
