GOING TO JAPAN
IPPON BANZAI!" Hurrah for Japan! Let us visit that country and learn
about the Japanese. If we start from New York, we shall travel almost a
week, night and day, by train, and will pass through Buffalo, Chicago, Omaha,
Denver, until at last we reach San Francisco, the great city at the Golden
Gate.
We will join this company of missionaries who are also going to Japan, and take a fine
steamer, the Manchuria. It is a great steamship-almost a world by itself and carries
thousands of passengers. We will spend about two weeks on this steamship before we reach
Japan.
On the way across the ocean we will stop at Honolulu, a city in the Sandwich Islands,
which now belongs to the United States. Just look at those bananas, breadfruit, figs, oranges,
and lemons growing right along by the streets! And the flowers who ever saw such a world
of flowers? But we must hurry on to Japan.
Here we are with Japanese land in sight. Do you see the smoke rising from that vol-
cano? The snow-capped mountain towering to the sky ahead of us is Fujiyama, the sacred
mountain of Japan.
The ship is going to stop in Yokohama harbor, which you see in the picture on this card,
and we will go on shore in little rowboats, with one oar each at the rear end of the boat.
Here we are at last in Yokohama. We will get into a queer two-wheeled cart drawn
by one little man, and go up to the station where we take the cars for Tokyo, the capital, to
see our little Japanese friends.
