Take Me To Japan

Lead me to the island of the rising sun. The place where Mount Fuji looms over. Sakura blossoms bloom and fall like rain. Where Amaterasu shows her face. Welcome me to the foreign island in the sea. Where its history is alive. Both ancient and modern meet. Culture and tradition are sacred. A large city overflowing with its people. the skyscrapers tower over you. the neon lights glowing up the sky. where fashion is created, clubs are full. games are played, and karaoke is sung. The countryside is living its antique past. Rice fields are plenty, the sake is poured. Temples are built by their ancestors. Where the geikos are dancing at the ochaya. the samurai swings his swords, and the sumo wrestles. Show me the site with its many festivals and the food is plenty. From Udon to Sushi, I want a bite. and the sweets are just as unique. Guide me in the mountains, where the springs are naturally hot. where the rivers flow, the forest is peaceful. and the gardens are made of rock. A country where the people are polite. Bow in greeting, tea in the pot. Where I can dress in yukata in the summer and Kimono in the winter. I want to be at a place that's different than my own. to smile like them, pray at the shrines for them. So take me to the land far from here, and let me live out my dreams.
