Japan has so many nice ceremonies and art forms that really help you to relax and appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life. We just don’t have things like this in America. Then of course there are all the festivals (omatsuri) and the great firework shows in the summertime! It’s so natsukashii just thinking about it now. You really have to experience these things for yourself to appreciate them though, so I highly recommend you try them out if you ever get the chance!
