The Japanese crested ibis, also known as the "toki," is a critically endangered bird that is native to Japan and is considered a symbol of good luck.

Japan has a highly developed public transportation system, including bullet trains (Shinkansen) that can travel up to 320 km/h (200 mph).

Takoyaki, a dish made with small balls of batter filled with chopped octopus, is a popular Japanese street food.
