Kite flying is a popular hobby in Japan . This activity dates back to the 7 th century, when Buddhist monks brought kites to the country. However, it was not until the Edo period when people below the Samurai class were allowed to fly kites. Today, kite fights and festivals are held all over the country.
These games and hobbies represent only a sample of what Japan has to offer. Japan 's rich history filled with cultural traditions, combined with the technological innovativeness of its people, certainly gives visitors something to wonder at.
