The Japanese people are hard-working and industrious, but they also take time to appreciate the beauty of nature. Sight-seeing and eating good food are two activities that many Japanese people enjoy.
In Japan there is one Protestant church for every 16,288 people. Only about 1 in 500 (.21%) attend church on an average Sunday. Last year the number of churches increased by 40. At this rate of growth it will take 600 years to reach a goal of one church for every 1,000 people.
