Things you should do in Japan

Recently, we have seen a large number of foreign tourists go shopping at some famous brand-name stores in Tokyo. According to the statistics by JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization), the amount of foreigners who visited Japan was more than 8 million in 2008 and the number is increasing year by year.
An article titled, “Top 10: Things You Should Do In Japan”, appeared on the U.S. website AskMen.com and has been in the news. The article introduces worthwhile experiences that you can enjoy in Japan such as:

Climbing Mount Fuji

    Climb to the top to witness a majestic sunrise.

Go to a Pachinko Parlor
     The pachinko parlor is where people go to relax. The noise and smoky
     atmosphere may not be everyone's idea of relaxation, but it's a pastime
     deeply entrenched in Japanese life and is worth a go, at least once.

Eat at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant
     There's nothing in the world quite like the experience of grabbing
     your dinner as it passes by on a slow-moving conveyor belt.

Go to a sumo tournament
     People often dismiss sumo as just a bunch of overweight men hitting each
     other about, but it's so much more than that. The truth is that it's mostly
     muscle not fat and the wrestlers are far more agile than you might imagine.
