What a great site!
I added it to my Japan links, along with a companion site, the Visit Japan Channel.
JTNO has a wealth of information about Japan: history, culture, travel information, attractions, shopping, and more. The site is neatly organized and a joy to navigate. Whoever designed it should organize the entire internet.
Where to start? The links on the History and Culture menu (located on the left side of their home page) lead to brief articles about unusual yet intriguing topics. For example, Japanese Colors and Shapes introduces the visitor to everything from cherry blossoms and moss, to high-rise buildings to vending machines.
Traditional Annual Events are listed by month, and an interactive map groups festivals together by regions.
There is so much more. The companion video channel (You Tube) contains beautiful, high-quality productions narrated in English, as well as fast-paced video collages of the sights and sounds of Tokyo. Have fun!
