There are a number of pay-offs that have nothing to do with the social media for which Japan is popular in the West.

  • Learning a foreign language can decrease the likelihood of dementia later in life.
  • Intimate exposure to a radically different culture results in a well-rounded personality, and is facilitated by a study of the language as well as a physical presence (I will spend two semesters studying in Japan, beginning this autumn). The Japan I've encountered through books such as The Japanese Mind and Japanese Culture has little in common with anime and manga. It's a culture in many ways removed from my own, something I find alluring in the sense of a potential means by which to further develop as an interculturally aware human.
