And hot springs! I just got back from Kusazu -- no rotenburo this time but a great natural hot spring bath. Rotenburo are the best though, especially in winter.

I must say, I love the way the language looks as well as sounds.

I love the language, too. Because the Japanese frown on saying certain things directly, there's a playfulness about the language. You can put a sneaky little spin on a statement by using yakuza or Buddhist monk slang, a handy four-character phrase, or switching politeness levels momentarily. It's what makes speaking Japanese fun for me.

Great food. The timely train system. That it's different. All the gadgets. The low crime rate. Things like ebi-burgers that make even fast food interesting. And last but not least, karaoke.

I love the language, it's very cute in a lot of ways, like the origin of certain words and such. The writing is very distinct too ( Hiragana/katakana I mean. Kanji is Chinese...and it's a love/hate relationship ¦3 ). I also love Japan's ingenuity. They can make anything, and I mean anything more efficient or cooler, instantly. There are so many awesome subcultures too. And can't forget fashion... And I hope someday I can finally experience onsen. I've heard so much good stuff about it, it makes my head dizzy thinking about finally trying one, hahah.
