I'm not from Japan. I have never visited Japan, although I would love to visit that wonderful country in which culture, technology and beautiful landscapes are the main attraction.

I know that the country is in the Asian continent, it is a quite populated country, they speak Japanese and their food is based on sea foods and rice. I would like to learn more about their culture and their economy.

I do not know much about football, so I have no idea about the connections of Japan and the Premier League.

Japan did a good job, scored four points and reached the middle of the World Cup.
