What inspired you to like Japan?
That would most likely initially be due to the Pokémon franchise. I got into Pokémon at the age of two, and, after learning about the place in which it originated, I have loved Japan ever since. The Japanese culture itself has also had a hand in boosting my love for Japan. My grandparents and I used to go to a Japanese market frequently when I was younger, in which they had a second floor entirely dedicated to traditional Japanese culture.
I would walk around that place aimlessly for hours admiring all of the various mini zen gardens, statues, and paintings that they had for sale, accompanied by calming music played on a flute.
