The Japanese enjoy newer sports like snowboarding and baseball, as well as traditional sports like sumo wrestling and kendo (fencing).
One way of experiencing the Japanese way of life is through school, where you will take classes with Japanese students in various subjects and participate in extracurricular activities like martial arts.
