How to Apply and Get a Japanese Tourist Visa in the Philippines

I know all of us batang 90's, our dream country was to go to Japan because we love anime and read manga in our childhood. I remember way back elementary days after school weekdays, 3pm blink na sa channel 2 at pag 7-8pm ghost fighter na sa channel 7 nakikipag agawan pa kami ng TV kay lola dahil gusto nya manood ng news :)) at pag saturday Samurai X Kenshin my loves naman chanel 23 at yaiba sa chanel 5. Sa dami ata ng Anime na napanood ko at nabasang manga certified otaku na ako. 

Last Aug 8-15, 2015,  I live my dreams to reality to visit my dream country. Kala ko di ko mapupuntahan eh. Ang saya lang nung na accomplished mo before 30. :P
