There are 500 days to go until the 23rd World Scout Jamboree opens in Yamaguchi City on 28th July 2015! In 500 days' time, Unit 42 will already be out in Japan and will have spent a few days either exploring Tokyo or living with Japanese families.
To celebrate, I've found you lucky things some 500-themed facts about Japan.
Around 500 AD, Japan was rapidly becoming one of the most civilised countries in the world. They borrowed script, artistic and architectural styles from China, and Buddhism was starting to take off. Around this time, Japan was seeing agriculture overtake the hunter-gatherer method of finding food.
The 500 Series is a Shinkansen high-speed train operated by the West Japan Railway Company. They are capable of travelling up to 200 mph. The Japanese often employ people to push passengers on to trains: the average delay to rail services in Japan is 18 seconds.
National Route 500 is a highway connecting Beppu, Oita and Tosu, Saga. Its total length is just under 100 miles.
