Country of the Week: Japan                                                                    10/31/25

This week's country is Japan! Some cool facts about Japan is that the population is over one hundred million people and Japan invented mochis. A mochi is a rice dumpling that can have ice cream or cream inside of it and it's considered a dessert. Japan is close to South Korea and is surrounded by water. If you go into a house in Japan you have to take off your shoes no matter what. Tokyo is the capital of Japan.
