Japan has many surprising facts most people never hear about.
First, around 80% of Japan is covered by mountains.
That’s one reason major cities like Tokyo and Osaka feel so crowded. Most people live in the limited flat coastal areas.
Second, Japan is home to snow monkeys.
In places like Nagano Prefecture, these monkeys are famous for relaxing in natural hot springs during winter.
Third, basashi.
Besides sushi and ramen, Japan also has a dish made from raw horse meat sliced thinly. For many foreigners, this is considered one of Japan’s more unusual foods.
Japan always seems familiar until you learn the details.
