Kendo, a martial art that uses bamboo swords and protective armor, is a popular sport in Japan and is often taught in schools.
Japan is home to many natural hot springs, known as onsen, which are popular destinations for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Hells of Beppu in Beppu, a city on the island of Kyushu, are a series of hot springs that are too hot for bathing, but are a unique and interesting sight to see.
