Irasshaimase to the Land of the Rising Sun
Do you know which of the islands four
That you wish to first explore
And think you'll have the most fun?

Will you start with Hokkaido in the north
Skiing and snowboarding in winter's cold bite
Or camping during warm summer's night
Pick a season, go on and venture forth!

Honshu is considered the mainland
Temples, hot springs, palaces, and more
There is plenty to see, to do, and to explore
Kyoto and Tokyo are a sight so grand!

What about Shikoku, have you been there?
You can white-water raft down the Yoshino River
And the Awa Dance festival will make you quiver
The island definitely has its own style and flair!

Lastly, there is Kyushu to venture to
Go and check out Munakata Shrine
And some Nagasaki Champon on which to dine
Yes, Japan has so much for you to do!
