7th Grade Lanhuage Arts Students, here are two webpages I found to help with your projects on Japanese culture.
http://www.japan-zone.com/
You will find red tabs at the top of the page, these tabs will link to information about, "Modern Japan", "Cultural Japan" and "Japan Omnibus". The omnibus tab will give you information about history, religion, climate and government. Remember this is a commercial site, so they are trying to "sell" you something. Please remember never to give out personal information(phone number, email, etc,) on these type of webpages.

A link to the Japanese Embassy in the Metro Atlanta area, a wonderful resources for you to begin gathering information.
