Presentation 5/May/2010 -I LOVE Tokyo-

It's 16 days the public holidays of Japan in 2010.

There're three long vacations a year, the first is the end of the year and new year, the second is golden week(we call it, it's from late April to early May, about seven to ten days) and the last is the Bon holidays(like a summer vacation).

In Tokyo, many events are held annually.

A summer fireworks display is especially recommended in it. It'll be held around the time of the Bon holidays, but the fireworks have been somewhere in the summer in Tokyo. Even if you missed it, somewhere you can see.

↑This fireworks held near my flat. It's no long history, just held only for the residents.

The most popular fireworks display in Tokyo is SUMIDAGAWA-Fireworks.

SUMIDAGAWA-fireworks was initiated in 1733(18 century). It started as a festival was held to mourn for the dead. It was interrupted several times in history, but now it has been held annually. About 22,000 fireworks will be launched.

Tokyo have been changing, a new building have built and a new store have opened. I think Tokyo is exciting city and I have never tired of it.

A second Tokyo tower is under construction recently. This name is Tokyo Sky Tree. If the second tower once complete, it will be change a stream of people.

If you come to Tokyo, I recommend some places.

The first is Roppongi area. There's many interesting restaurants, shops and museums. It's interesting for just a walk.

The second is Asakusa Sensoji. If you want to feel a Japanese style of temple,there's a ideal place. Small shops are in front of the temple and you can buy some Japanese foods or the souvenirs. You'll bask of a stick of incense in the precincts of a temple.

The last is the most recommend places, it's Akihabara. Do you like electric appliances? Akihabara is the biggest electric town in Japan. Here's abundant varieties of the products and you can see all it. Of course many overseas visitors come there.

I like Tokyo,but there has been few problems. There's a small area, but a lot of people are living(about 10% of Japan's population live in there). So everything expensive in this city. The house price or the rent are especially expensive.

And further, Japan have a problem of decrease in population. On one hand, the birth of this country is decreasing, and on the other hand, population is increase in average age.

The government has been considering immigration, but I disagree so it's difficult problem and immigration isn't good a solution strategy. If we accept immigration, they want to live city side because they could easily earn in city side. But the local government want to increase the population.

We must considering how to resolve the matter.

Finally,I recommend this video. It made by a famous Japanese animation director. If you watch at this video, you can see a panoramic view of Tokyo.
