Politics


I read the news about the political of Japan from the internet. It has a protest in Japan because Prime Minister Naoto Kan and his Cabinet didn't come to visit Yasukuni Shrine in this year. Yasukuni Shrine is a Shinto shrine that located in Tokyo. It is dedicated to the spirits of soldiers and other people who died fighting in the war of the Emperor of Japan. At the Japan Education center in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, there were 190 people that welcomed with Prime Minister Naota Kan's dicision to stay away. The group was included citizens who lost their relatives in World War II and who generally object to politicians visiting Yasukuni Shrine. The day marked the 65th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II and the first since the Democratic Party of Japan took power last year. It is the first time in nearly 30 years that the entire Cabinet has refrained from visiting the contentious shrine. This year marked on the 100th year of Japan and Korea Annexation Treaty too. However, Sadakazu Tanigaki, the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, he said that he will go to visit Yasukuni Shrine on Sunday, the anniversary of the end of World War II. He wants to go because he wants to remember the one of history of Japan.

Economy


I read this news from the internet. It talked about an employe in Japan. Because of production of automobiles and electronic gadgets was slip, it made Japan's unemployment rate ticked higher in July. This was a sign that shown an export an automobiles may be stalling. It was a big problem that challenged for Prime Minister Naoto Kan. Prime Minister Naoto Kan said that he will find the way out of this problem immediately because he thought this problem affect for the balance of Japan's economic. The plan of the government was to purchase cars for helping weigh on production for the domestic market of Japan if overseas climate was not recover. In June, unemloyment in Japan rose to 5.3 percent that was a highest level since November. In November, the percent was 5.1. Even if Japan has a economic problem, some of researchers said that this rate will come up in a few months. In my opinion, I think Japan can get through this problem because Japan is the one country that has a largest economic of the world.

Japan is the third largest in the world of economy after the United State of America and Republic of China. Export an automobile is the one big economy of Japan. Japan has many brand of an automobile such as Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Isuzu etc. This brand is known around the world because Japan exports many automobiles around the world. Lastly, Toyota said on Friday that they can sale the top of hybrid vehicle in Japan. Toyota hybrid cars were saled one million mark in Japan and were saled 2.68 million of the vehicles in the worlwide. Toyota is the one industry that develop in a hybrid cars. There are two types of hybird cars that Toyota industry develop. It is a gasoline engine and another source such as electric motor. The first car that using the hybrid technology is Toyota Prius. It was made in 1997. Nowadays, Toyota industry try to using hybride technology in mini-vans and rear-wheel-drive sedans. The reason that people buy the hybride cars because of high gasoline prices. In my opinion, I think using hybride cars is a good way to reduce the global warming because hybride cars have a little affect for our world.

In the past, Most Japanese people traveled by foot until in the 19 century. In the year 1872, Japan built the first railway between Tokyo and Yokohama and many more developed. Now, Japan is the country that has one of the the world most developed transportation networks. Japanese trains are very famous. It has more than 2 million passengers that travel by trains each on an average day in five stations.

It has a high standard of safty and more comfort. And it is faster than the normal trains because Shinkansen was used the advance high technologies.
