WebSideStory Award - Top Site!
WebSideStory Weekly Review
Big in Japan - Travel: Learning about a culture before making a visit to its homeland is always a good idea. Guide to Japan offers an amazingly comprehensive look into the Japanese culture. This is not your typical, where to find a hotel and how much is the Yen worth, site. Categories as diverse as; Arts and Crafts, Etiquette, Tourism, and regional information, make this web site very thorough and worthwhile. The design of the site is very nice and all the pages opened very quickly as well. There is a lot of information here, and some of it is just as good as actually speaking to a native to get the street knowledge. Make a reservation to visit this site now.

A quality site prescribed by Dr. Webster
September 15, 1997
From Nintendo to karaoke to sushi to the Power Rangers: Americans are awash these days in products that have emerged from Japanese culture and industry. And yet, Japan itself remains a mysterious and unfathomable place to most Americans.
Today's prescription aims to lift that veil. Schauwecker's Guide to Japan is one of the best Web sites dedicated to a specific nation that we've ever seen. It's a vastly comprehensive and endlessly fascinating and informative guide to all aspects of Japanese culture and society.

Medaille d'Or
Beautifully presented and hugely informative site about everything Japanese. The site comprises some 200 pages about contemporary and traditional Japan, together with over 200 photos. There is also an area covering recipes; and a pen-pal section specialising in contacts between Japanese and non-Japanese. Excellent.

A truly outstanding introduction to Japan, its culture, its food, and its geography. There's everything here from Aikido to Zen Buddhism. If you're thinking about paying a visit to this island nation or you're just curious what the difference is between sushi and sashimi check this out.
