To foreigners who will want to know true situations of Japan

As a result of Japan's fighting against many countries in World War II, our country was burnt ground. However, Japan revived like a phoenix from the ashes after the war, and, now, became the second biggest economic power in the world.
Even so Japan is not a Christian country like the West. Japan has been influenced by Chinese culture for a long time which is the origin of Oriental civilization.
Especially Japan was strongly influenced by the Chinese writing style, the KANJI characters. On the other hand, Japan was the first country which modernized in Asia.
Concerning religion, Japanese people have no problems mixing religions, they will hold a marriage ceremony in the form of Shintoism or Christianity, and a funeral service in Buddhism. However, most of Japanese people are not concerned with any religion in their usual lives.
It looks like that Europeans or Americans consider for instance Arab Islamic soceity belonging to a different cultural sphere.
Concerning Japan, many foreigners have very little actual knowledge about Japan and Japanese culture except some scholars and specialists.
When foreigners look at Japan, their general impressions are that Japan is a country with an excellent technical structure who can produce excellent cars and electric products.
For example, news reports about Japan carried by the European version of Herald tribune only on the last page.
Probably Europeans and Americans have much less informations about Japan than Japanese have about the West.
However, Japanese news-papers and Japanese magazines have also provided English homepages.
And overseas residents can also easily read informations about Japan .
But, people without the fundamental knowledge about Japan cannot understand this kind of informations easily.
From the above-mentioned reason, we provide foreigners with intelligible informations.
These information is convenient and useful and is not indicated by the usual guidebook. And especially these informations are useful for those who travel to Japan.
At the same time, we want to provide suitable replies to many questions of foreigners,
"Why such a thing breaks out in Japan."
"Why do Japanese people have such a view? "
We expect that not only we answer reader's questions but also readers provide their opinions to our homepage and at the same time we expect that a readers' debate develops on our homepage.
