U.S.-Japan Geography Teachers Hiroshima Institute by Pauline N. Sawai Kaahuku High School My favorite teacher was there in Japan - experience. She took us to a school where we toured facilities, met with students and talked with Japanese teachers. She shared lessons that are taught to students in their high schools but are new and out of the norm for the national Japanese curriculum. She took us through the countryside and we toured internationally known landmarks and national treasures. Being in Japan also allowed all of the American team to experience first hand the five themes of Geography: My colleagues could tell me a better story about location. By the time they arrived in Japan, July 27, Thursday at 4p.m., some of them had been up for 24 hours. We had a 20 minute commute to the Shinkansen, and a 2 hour train ride to Hiroshima. Japan was indeed far away! We traveled on many systems that exceedingly ran on time. You can travel by city train, taxi, bus, subway, car, ferry, airplane, regular train and the pride of the Japanese - the bullet train. We did lots of walking also. Japan is a very accessible country because of their excellent transportation system. If it's not there, the Japanese are presently building it. We could not hide! We were foreigners and it showed! We couldn't use chopsticks or blow our noses without someone staring at us. We were dressed very casual compared to our colleagues who wore ties and long sleeved shirts to seminars everyday. We gazed longingly at grapes that were $30 a pound U.S. dollars. We wrote on the front as well as the back of postcards just so we could use our 85 cents worth of postage. We bought cans and cans of POCARI SWEAT from the 1 million vending machines available in Japan.

After its devastating defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become the second most powerful economy in the world and a staunch ally of the US. While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, actual power rests in networks of powerful politicians, bureaucrats, and business executives. The economy experienced a major slowdown in the 1990s following three decades of unprecedented growth.

JAPAN GEOGRAPHY by Guillaume Thibeault Professor Kong Fah Lee, John Abbott College (Autumn 1999) Japan comprises an island chain along mainland Asia's east coast. The four main islandsHokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushustretch some 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometers) from Northeast to Southwest. Including more than 3,900 smaller islands, Japan is about 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) long and is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) across. Japan has no land borders with any other countries. Across the Sea of Japan to the west are North and South Korea: across the Sea of Japan to the Northwest and the Sea of Okhotsk to the north is Russia; across the East China Sea to the west is China; Southwest of Japan's Ryukyu Islands are Taiwan and the Philippines. The open waters of the vast Pacific Ocean wash Japan's eastern and southeastern shores. Across the Pacific, more than 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) away, is the United States mainland. For a small country, Japan has a great variety of climatic conditions. This is because its islands have a long latitudinal spread and are in the zone where the conflicting air masses of the Asian continent and of the Pacific Ocean meet and interact. The continental air masses make for more extreme temperatures, both in winter and in summer, and result in large annual temperature ranges. But their effect is moderated by the strong marine influence, which also produces high humidity and abundant rainfall. Japan's rugged topography also causes many local variations in weather and

Japan's northernmost islands are located approximately on same geographical latitude as Milan or Portland while her southernmost islands are about on the same latitude as the Bahamas. In other words, Japan's North South extension equals about the distance from Oslo to Naples. More than 50% of the area of Japan is mountainous and covered by forests.

March 12-14, 1998 Feudal Japan and the Geography of Japan Grade Level: 5 Presented by: Katherine Kapustka, Coronado Village Elementary, Universal City, Texas Length of Unit: 9 lessons (10-15 days) I. ABSTRACT This 9 lesson unit for fifth graders covers, in detail, the Japanese history and Japanese geography topics listed in the Core Knowledge Sequence. During this unit, students will use atlases and other reference materials, read a variety of texts, both fiction and non-fiction, and develop prediction, summarization, and comparison and contrast skills. While learning the content and developing their skills, students will consider how Japan's geography influenced the lives of its people during the feudal period. Where applicable, students will also reflect on the effect of Japan's history and geography on modern Japanese life. II. OVERVIEW A. Concepts: In learning about the history of Feudal Japan and the geography of Japan, students will come to understand two main concepts. First, students will develop an understanding of how the history of a place affects the behavior and psyche of its people. For example, in Japan today, many people have a very strong sense of honor and duty. These convictions come from the samurai, Shinto, and Buddhist traditions. Second, students will develop an awareness of place. They will understand how the characteristics of a place affect what happens there. As part of the "Ring of Fire," Japan is threatened by several geological and meteorological forces. These forces, and Japan's relative isolation as an island nation, have played major roles in the history of Japan.
