This video, "School Lunch in Japan - It's Not Just About Eating!," was released by "CafCu Media." In the video, they visit an elementary school with 682 students in grade 6 in Saitama Prefecture. It begins with the children going to school, shows how meals are prepared at the food service center, introduces the utensils used to eat the meals, and shows how the meals are prepared, eaten, and cleaned up. School lunch in Japan is not just a time to eat lunch, but also an important time to learn through "food." The children say "Itadakimasu" before eating, and "gochisosama" when finished, which are phrases to thank the person who made the meal, as well as those who grew the ingredients. Students prepare their own food and clean up after themselves. Japanese people learn the importance of food and the proper way to eat from an early age through school lunches. -

Kibune Chaya, a riverside teahouse in Kibune, Kyoto This video, titled "[4K Video] [Kyoto] Kawadoko in Kibune|Kibune-jaya (streambed cuisine) Washoku (Summer in Japan)" (【4K動画】【京都】貴船の川床(かわどこ)貴船茶屋(川床料理)和食(日本の夏)), was released by "movie fine." Kyoto City boasts an immovable popularity in the ranking of Japanese tourist attractions.The summer feature of Kyoto is your ship's Kawadoko. This is a video introducing Kifune Shrine which is one of the shops where you can enjoy the riverbed of your ship.Kyoto cuisine lunch and sukiyaki are popular.From the video 0:44, attractive dishes such as fish sashimi, tempura and dessert will appear one after another, so don't miss them! What is "Kawayuka" in Kyoto? Photo:Kawadoko cuisine in Kibune, Kyoto There are four areas in Kyoto in the summer that host Kawadoko: Kamogawa River (鴨川), Takao (高雄), Takagamine (鷹峯), and Kibune (木船). Kawadoko are a place to sit near the water and cool off, and are made with Japanese style tatami flooring called "Zashiki." They are also called "Noryo Yuka" in Japanese as well. The reason why Kyoto Takafune's Kawaboko is so popular Your ship is called "Kyo no Okuzashiki" along with the nearby Mt. Kurama (鞍馬山) .The riverbed is built on the Takifune River, which flows right next to Takifune Shrine, which is famous for its power spot. Even in midsummer, your ship is about 10 degrees Celsius lower than the temperature in Kyoto City, and it is also characterized by a comfortable time. It is said that during the Taisho period, people who put floor desks in the river and washed their feet were entertained with tea and food. While listening to the murmur of the river and the sound of the waterfall, you can enjoy Kyoto cuisine mainly with carp and sweetfish. Characteristics and recommendations of "Kifune Tea House" In order to relax and enjoy the riverbed, I would prefer to avoid congestion if possible.I recommend the Takifune tea house that I am introducing to you this time. The biggest attraction of the Kawadoko at Kibune-jaya is that they don't accept large groups or tour groups. The price is reasonable as well, so it won't put a strain on your wallet either. In addition, either side of the platoform faces the river, so you can soak your feet in it. By sampling Kibune-jaya's exquisite kaiseki cuisine while feeling the clear streams of Kyoto, shown at 0:30 in the video, both your mind and body will be at peace. Access to Kifune Shrine is also quite simple. It's only a 2-minute walk from Kibune-jaya. This is another great thing about Kibune-jaya. A pick-up service is available from the nearby Kibuneguchi Station as well, so it's convenient to let them know when you make a reservation. Fireflies in Late June Photo:Fireflies The Kawadoko at Kibune-jaya is open from May to September, but we highly recommend visiting from late June to mid-July. It's also the time when the fragrant Ninose lilies bloom, and fireflies can be seen flying around the Kibune River at night. If you're lucky, they may even appear on the Kawadoko at Kibune-jaya. Kibune is also home to a number of Ryokan (Japanese-style inns), notably "Beniya." It's a good idea to stay overnight after cooling off on the Kawadoko and go sightseeing in a different area the following day. It's also the time of year when Kurama Temple is surrounded by fresh greenery and the hydrangeas are in full bloom at Sanzen-in Temple. You're guaranteed to have a great trip, as Kyoto City is home to numerous places of interest, such as Shimogamo Shrine, Heian Shrine, Nanzen-ji Temple, Ginkaku-ji Temple (the Silver Pavilion), and Kyoto City Zoo. Kibune-jaya Summary Photo:View of the Kifune River Kibune-jaya was completely destroyed by a typhoon in 2019 and is undergoing reconstruction as of September 2020. It'll be interesting to see how the new appearance differs from that of the old shown in the video at 6:06.

Hitachi Station - A Popular Tourist Attraction Photo:Hitachi Station Hitachi Station is a station on the Joban Line connecting Tokyo to Miyagi Prefecture. It takes less than two hours to reach from Tokyo Station via limited express train. The station itself is a sightseeing attraction, with a view of the sea and the relaxing Sea Birds Cafe.

The all-glass station building overlooks the Pacific Ocean, creating the illusion that the station is floating on the sea.

Aomi Station is becoming popular as a station with a view of the sea in Tokyo. ・Kamakura Koko-mae Station (Kamakura, Kanagawa) The retro Enoden and the shimmering blue sea are the perfect combination. In the evening, you can enjoy the sunset facing Enoshima. From the station platform, you can look out over Shichirigahama, a beach in Kanagawa. The area around the station has been used as a shooting location for TV dramas and anime, and is a great place to take moving photos. ・Nebukawa Station (Odawara, Kanagawa) Nebukawa Station in Odawara is an unmanned station built on a cliff overlooking Sagami Bay. It is also known as a popular destination for viewing the first sunrise of the year. The blue station building, reminiscent of a tropical island, is also popular. ・Umi-Shibaura Station (Yokohama, Kanagawa) Because Umi-Shibaura Station is located within the grounds of a factory, visitors cannot go outside the station. It's a secluded spot where you can only get off and on trains. You can enjoy a beautiful night view here because of the factory area in front of the station. It's popular among couples and photographers as a place where you can enjoy a sweeping view of the sea from within the city. ・Kozu Station (Odawara, Kanagawa) As you enter the platform of Kozu Station, Sagami Bay comes into view. After getting off the station and passing private residences, you'll reach the beach in just a few minutes. The area around the station has a nostalgic and peaceful atmosphere with retro private residences. Summary of Scenic Stations in Japan's Kanto Region The glass-walled station building of Hitachi Station accentuates the beauty of the ocean. The station attracts many tourists from all over Japan as a scenic spot overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In winter, the city of Hitachi holds an illumination event, and the lights make the areas in front of the station and Hitachi Civic Center look like a different world. In the past, there have also been events such as the "Winter Cherry Blossom Festival" in which the station is lit up in pink, the color of cherry blossoms. Hitachi Station is attracting attention as a station with a view of the sea. The experience of floating on the blue sea is attractive, but I would definitely like to see the sunrise as well. 【TripAdvisor】Hitachi Station https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g303154-d10210951-Reviews-Hitachi_Station-Hitachi_Ibaraki_Prefecture_Kanto.html
