A country a would like to visit

I always wanted to go to Japan. If you ask me why, I cannot give you a straight answer. Maybe it is the distance, I think it is the most far away you can get from Chile, the exact opposite in this planet. It is definitely not because anime, I do not even watch anything related, I just do not like it. From Japan I know next to nothing, even if my boyfriend told me about his trip to Tokyo and Hokkaido. Maybe it is because I do not want to hear or read about Japan but live it, in person. To know if they really live in the future as it seems.

 I want to go to the statue of Hachiko, because I love dogs and that dog made me cry. I do not want to live there, or work, or even study, I want to go, see how it is there and go back, the fastest I can (I hate to fly, it scares me).
