Japan Word Search
This Japan word search holds forty words from the island nation: Tokyo and Kyoto, Mount Fuji and Hokkaido, the samurai and the shogun, kimono and origami, sumo and the Shinkansen bullet train.
Japan sits on four main islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, along with thousands of smaller ones that run south to Okinawa. Mount Fuji, on Honshu, is the highest peak at 3,776 meters, a volcano that last erupted in 1707. The Japanese name for the country, Nihon or Nippon, means origin of the sun, which is where the English phrase Land of the Rising Sun comes from.
Kyoto was the home of the emperor for more than a thousand years, from 794 until 1868, when the court moved to Edo and the city was renamed Tokyo, the eastern capital. For most of the centuries before that, real power sat with the shogun, a military ruler backed by samurai warriors. The first Shinkansen line opened between Tokyo and Osaka in 1964, just before the Tokyo Olympics, and it was the first high speed railway in the world.
