Land of The Rising Sun

Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, literally, the State of Japan) is an island nation in East Asia.[10] Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun"..

Historical Town : Kyoto

Kyoto is located in a valley, part of the Yamashiro (or Kyoto) Basin, in the eastern part of the mountainous region known as the Tamba highlands. The Yamashiro Basin is surrounded on three sides by mountains known as Higashiyama, Kitayama and Nishiyama, with a height just above 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) above sea level. This interior positioning results in hot summers and cold winters. There are three rivers in the basin, the Ujigawa to the south, the Katsuragawa to the west, and the Kamogawa to the east.

Learning from Basic

Japanese (日本語 Nihongo, [nihoŋɡo]) is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese immigrant communities. It is a member of the Japonic (or Japanese-Ryukyuan) language family, which has a number of proposed relationships with other languages, none of which has gained wide acceptance among historical linguists.

Learn by Conversation

Japanese word order is classified as subject–object–verb. Unlike many Indo-European languages, the only strict rule of word order is that the verb must be placed at the end of a sentence; other elements in the sentence may be in various orders for emphasis, or possibly omitted. This is because the Japanese sentence elements are marked with particles that identify their grammatical functions.

Phrase for Intermediate Grammar

Japanese nouns have no grammatical number, gender or article aspect. The noun hon (本) may refer to a single book or several books; hito (人) can mean "person" or "people"; and ki (木) can be "tree" or "trees". Where number is important, it can be indicated by providing a quantity (often with a counter word) or (rarely) by adding a suffix. Words for people are usually understood as singular.

when.., toki

2 comments
to express when at the last time i done something, in Japaneses language we can use toki, (時）,see the example below:

私はテレビを見るとき　コーヒを飲みます。
watashiwa terebi wo miru toki kohi wo nomimasu.
When looking TV, I drink a coffee.

さびしいときも嬉しいときも彼女は良くこの音楽を聞きます。
sabishii tokimo ureshii toki mo kanojo wa yoku kono ongaku wo kikimasu.
when sad or happy she always listen this music.

私は結婚したとき、祖母は泣きました。
watashiwa kekkon sita toki, sobo wa nakimashita.
When I was married, the grandmother cried.

Grammar
from three sentence sample we can consider that :
1. Verb before toki （とき）and after toki has not relationship.
2. The verb before toki and after toki, happen at same time.
3. toki can use both past and future sentence.

before toki become V.ru (now and future form) or V.ta (past form) is unrelated yo the tense of the main clause. in case where the action before toki is already complete and there is second action,you should use V.ta (past form)
in cases that the action is not complete or simultaneous action (now and future) you should use V.ru

example sentence number 1 and 3 are using v.ru, sample sentence number 2 using V.ta
