Another survivor of Japan's wartime sexual slavery passed away.

At her family's request, the Korean woman's identity has not been revealed.

But according to a related civic group,... she was forcibly taken to serve the Japanese

military at age 17... and was drafted to Thailand, Singapore and Myanmmar.

An estimated 80-to-200-thousand women across Asia were enslaved in this manner, most of

them Korean... until the end of Japan's colonial rule of Korea in 1945.

Around 240 survivors were later registered by the South Korean government... but with

the latest death, their number stands at only 34.

How To Take A Japanese Onsen - Duration: 1:38.

Onsen are the famous Japanese hot springs.

You can find them all over Japan

and they are super popular among the locals

as a great way to relax.

There is a special etiquette that you need to keep

and not following the rules is heavily frowned upon.

So here is our guide on how to properly take an onsen.

Step 1. Grab a small towel and get naked.

Yep, that's right, no Speedos allowed.

Don't even try it, it's totally not done.

Also, if you have any large tattoos, you're out of luck.

They're banned in most onsen.

Step 2. Wash yourself.

Have a seat, grab some soap

and properly wash yourself from top to toe.

This is to keep the water of the onsen clean.

Never wash in the onsen itself

and don't wash whilst standing up.

Nobody wants to see that.

Step 3. Use the small towel to cover yourself

as you walk around and make your way into the bath.

Step 4. Once you're in the bath, put your towel

on the side, or even better, on your head.

Make sure your towel never touches the bath water.

And finally, enjoy the soak.

Let the healing waters of the onsen enrich your body

while you enjoy your surroundings.

The onsen is a place to relax and reflect.

7 Crazy (Strange) Things That Only Exist In Japan | FactoFusion - Duration: 4:34.

Hello and welcome back,

We all know Japan for its innovative inventions and technological experiments.

But there's also a weird side of Japan, That will truly shock all of us!

Right from the weirdest inventions, culture,

food habits to the weirdest hotels and restaurants.

Things in Japan can go really strange anytime!

So, today you'll get to see some of the weirdest things that only exist in Japan!

Let's get started.

We all like to munch the chocolaty KitKat bars.

But, as Japan is known for its weird eating habits,

KitKat here in Japan is unlike the milk chocolate that we usually have

Instead we'll find more than 300 exotic Japanese flavours out here

With some as grilled corn,

miso,

camembert cheese,

baked potato,

and soy sauce.

Now with chocolates, That's really weird to have something like that, isn't it?

Having braces over the teeth is like stigma for the people

who don't have straight and even teeth, But in Japan we have something that may relax

you a bit from the worry.

Yaeba in Japan, means to have a fang-like appearance of the upper two canine teeth,

which are often considered cute to have Yaeba is a trendy fashion in Japan and a

costly dental procedure, too.

How about tasting these delicious cups of fruity ice-cream?

But, wait a second before you have it, let's get you a real one of this.

Real one?

Yes, because, this is actually plastic food!

These are usually used in Japanese street restaurants to display the food available inside.

Now, here's an example of how a plastic lettuce is made!

Yes you heard it right, there's no number 4 in japan.

Japanese people are weirdly known to be Tetraphobiacs. Tetraphobia comes from a greek word

where it means the fear of number four.

Japanese find it unlucky because it is pronounced

'shi', which means the word for death.

Hence, you would not find number 4 in the lifts,

Building floors

or any other places.

They also never send a gift to someone which displays the number 4

Instead they use 3 or 5.

You all must have used vending machines to get chocolates and cash at most times.

But Japanese have built vending machines for almost everything you need.

Yes you can get anything right from the vending machine at anytime

Such as your morning breakfast, beverages,

liquor, wines and even a car just from a vending machine.

So let us know in comments what would you like to get from a vending

machine when you are in Japan.

If you feel sleepy and need a really cosy room to rest yourself,

then you can find the unique capsule room in Tokyo.

Capsule rooms in Japan are weirdly small rooms intended to provide

affordable and cheap overnight stays for the guests and people

who cannot afford the conventional hotel rooms.

But be sure, you are not a claustrophobic before getting into one of these

as these rooms are really small.

Now finally we come to the weirdest thing in Japan,

Hadaka Matsuri is a weird naked festival celebrated in the month of February

by the men of Japan to gain luck for the entire year.

It is most famously celebrated at its place of origin,

The Saidai-ji Temple in Okayama Over 9000 men wearing the least cloth or just

the loincloth of Japan participate in this festival every year.

So guys which one of these did you found to be the weirdest?

In the whole country one of the most spectacular

areas to view the fall colors is around Lake Towada in northern Japan

The trees around this picturesque caldera lake as well as along the nearby

Oirase Stream are usually most vibrant in late October

where we will explore a bit before ending the day at a traditional Japanese style inn.

So follow along because we spend the day admiring the autumn beauty of Towada

So we've just arrived at Ishigedo one of the main stops along the Oirase Stream

Now the is a stream is one of the most famous places in the area well known for its autumn colors

It looks like we've got kind of lucky today there seems to be a buzz of activity

lots of people and the colors look great

So let's go in walk along the stream and see what we can find

So we finished the hike, but now we're across the water from the town of Yasumiya

where we'll be spending the night

So we're going to get the ferry behind me

and it's going to provide us with some unique scenes of all this beautiful autumn color

So all the board

So we've just landed in Yasumiya after a very picturesque crossing

and now we're going to go into the town and find our accommodation for the night

Japan's Answer to Assassin's Creed Origins I Ghost of Tsushima - Duration: 3:36.

Hi everyone, my name's Aaron, and welcome to A/C Gaming.

Playing Assassin's Creed Origins is nothing short of an amazing experience.

That being said, I have been putting multiple hours into this game.

But recently, Sucker Punch Productions revealed Ghost of Tsushima at Paris Games Week.

And this game has grabbed my attention.

To my surprise, Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin's Creed Origins share many characteristics.

Here are just a few of them:

Number 5

Both Assassin's Creed Origins and Ghost of Tsushima are of the

historic fantasy genre.

There is a common thread of historic truth woven throughout each of these games

with some fantasized lore mixed in.

The time periods and locations of AC Origins and Tsushima differ greatly.

Assassin's Creed Origins is set in Ancient Egypt around 49 BC

While Ghost of Tsushima takes place in Medieval Japan during the year of 1274 AD

Nevertheless, both games are based around historic events

and that makes each of them much more interesting.

Number 4

In both Assassin's Creed Origins and Ghost of Tsushima,

the homeland of the main character is being invaded by a foreign army.

And players have to step-in to save the day as the last defender of their people.

For example,

in AC Origins, the mighty Roman Empire is trying to seize control,

while players take on the role of Bayek, the final Medjay and Defender of Egypt.

In similar fashion, Ghost of Tsushima is set during the 1274 Mongol Invasion.

As one of the last surviving samurai,

players will have to fight for the liberation of feudal Japan.

Number 3 has to do with game type.

Both Assassin's Creed Origins and Ghost of Tsushima are open world,

action-stealth adventure games.

This is apparent in AC Origins, as there is a vast world to explore,

plenty of action,

and a plethora of stealth.

In like manner, Nate Fox, Creative Director at Sucker Punch Productions,

mentioned that players will be able to explore the entire island of Tsushima.

With action, stealth, and new discoveries around every corner.

Number 2

It's time to talk about gameplay.

Although we have not yet seen extensive gameplay from Ghost of Tsushima,

the official trailer featured a few snippets of in-game combat.

As you can see, these instances are shown from a third-person viewpoint.

Similar to third-person view in Assassin's Creed,

Ghost of Tsushima will likely be played in third-person.

Number 1

Although Ghost of Tsushima is a ways away,

and Assassin's Creed Origins has not been out for a very long time,

it seems both games will perform great among players,

and are definitely games worth trying out.

As cliché as this last similarity may sound,

it is so important in today's gaming industry.

Today, many players want games that they will enjoy for years to come.

With vast worlds to explore,

dynamic storylines,

and stunning graphics.

Both Assassin's Creed Origins and Ghost of Tsushima seem to be just that:

great games that will be enjoyed for a long time.

Japan's rock garden masterpieces - Duration: 3:34.

(Japanese guitar music)

- [Narrator] Kyoto is known for its

aristocratic excess, bold colors,

and grand flourishes,

but some of its most celebrated gardens,

flowers, trees and water are conspicuously missing.

The parched starkness of a Zen Eden turns

the whole notion of garden on its head.

Shrouded in mystery, the twin sandy peaks

of Daisenin Temple are the ultimate

expression of Zen simplicity,

Meant for meditation, discipline, and enlightenment.

Floating on mossy islands, the rocks of Ryoan-ji,

which rank alongside Versailles, Central Park,

and other legendary landscapes, are hypnotic.

This Zen masterpiece, Ryoan-ji, is composed

of fifteen stones.

Now no matter how you view this composition,

one of the stones is always hidden from view.

It's underscoring the idea that, for mankind,

perfection is always out of reach.

But a yen for Zen austerity back in the 15th century,

says author Alex Carr, wasn't the only reason

Japan went rock crazy.

- This is a country that's so damp, it's jungle-y.

If you just go away for a little while,

you're going to have a jungle on your hands.

One theory was that, because of that,

there was a craving for one bit of open space,

a bit of a sand lot in the middle of the jungle.

- [Narrator] Not growing much is a lot harder

than it sounds.

Abbot (foreign name) painstakingly tends the grounds

of Shinjuan Temple.

Inside, another Zen treasure--

a 500-year-old tea garden,

cleverly designed to prepare visitors

for the sublime world of the tea ritual.

"Normal stepping stones are flat

and easy to walk on", he says,

"but as you approach the tea house,

these stones actually get rounder.

As you try to keep your balance,

you gain the concentration needed

for the tea ceremony."

But to properly savor most Zen gardens

planted or dry, it's best not to leave your seat.

- You think of them as a painting,

especially the kind that you sit on the veranda

and you look at.

That came from the tradition of having

a tokonoma alcove, that is a place

within the room where a scroll was hung,

and you simple took that and transferred

it into a garden, which symbolized a larger thing--

a mountain, a plains, rivers, valleys,

all framed perfectly, like a painting.

(Japanese guitar music)

- [Narrator] If this kind of art appreciation

sounds intimidating, it shouldn't.

Joe Shotoba is abbot of the World Heritage Temple Tenkuji.

"People always want to know, what do those rocks mean?"

he says, "But that's not the point.

"Gardens exist to please the eye

"and soothe the soul."

The Zen touch is alive and well today

in exquisitely wrought oases across Japan,

proving that when it comes to gardens,

nothing is written in stone.
