Today, we’re heading to Japan, the land of Hello Kitty, sushi, and sumo wrestling. Our Super Fast Supersonic Jetliner takes us to the bustling city of Tokyo, lush forests, and unique islands. Learn fun facts about Japan’s geography, culture, and language, with cool videos and interactive activities.
