Here is a list of links to other websites with additional interesting facts and images of Asia that you may want to look at yourself any time. Just click on the underlined web address to go to the site.

Every website we link to was visited by our team before we activated the link to make sure it's appropriate for children. But we do not monitor or control these sites and they can change. In addition, many of these sites may have links to other sites, which we have not reviewed. Be sure to get permission from your parents or teacher before leaving Symphonyspace.com, and remember to read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of any site you visit.

The woodblock prints in the Artwork section give you a good idea of what Japan and its capital, Edo (now Tokyo) looked like more than 150 years ago. Below, you can see some pictures of Japan today:
