Though some may think to know this may not be so necessary,

however this could be very useful if you are in Japan, especially if you’re lost.

So it is always best if you know some basic words and phrases before visiting Japan.

(F.Y.I ,my sensei’s Japanese sensei, Imanaka-san told that mostly the Japanese are not

so fluent in English, especially those from the middle age group onwards hence

I think this will definitely be handy if you are in Japan.)
