Mie Castle in Yomitan Village (Migusuku Reproduction Building) On a sunny and windy day, I went to take a school bag photo of my sons (twins). The transparency of the sea is high, and no matter how many times you look at it, the sea of Okinawa will give you an impression. The people I met at this place congratulated me, and I think I was happier than them.

◤Ushinokuchi Circular Diversion◢ One of Sakuhomachi’s hidden cultural treasures in Nagano Prefecture🕌 It was built to divide water equally so that disputes would not arise in the area. Before the circular diversion was created, locals used a custom called “vines diversion,” in which they cut vine tendrils and used them to decide each share of the water—a practice that seems to have been rare across Japan💭

The Samurai and the Samurai Sword "The son of a samurai is a samurai, the son of a farmer is a farmer." From an early age, he learns how to use a sword and is allowed to wear a serious sword belt at the age of 15. It was then that he became aware of his self-respect and the responsibility of carrying a deadly weapon. The sword is the soul of the samurai; he cannot sell it even if he starves to death. #katana #日本刀 #Bushido #Samurai

Cherry Blossoms in Flight A week has passed since the bloom was announced in Kyushu, but full bloom still continues in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The petals' centers have begun to turn red, so the blossoms will start falling soon. At Kikuchi Park in Kumuchi, Kikuchi County, roughly 3,000 cherry trees, including Somei-yoshino and yamazakura, are in full bloom. This year, many visitors, including those from overseas, are enjoying hanami. The Kangetsuro Observation Deck inside the park offers a superb view of Kikuchi Park's cherry blossoms and the city of Kikuchi. A promenade runs through the park, forming a tunnel of cherry trees. Even as the petals begin to fall, you can stroll through drifting blossoms. The park also has a “Love Bench,” where you can relax while viewing the cherry trees. A row of cherry trees lines the approach to Kikuchi Shrine, and walking under the canopy offers a beautiful contrast of blossoms against the blue sky. Every year the cherry trees bloom from mid-March through early April. The stage when petals start to fall also makes for wonderful photos and videos, so please come and visit.

Today, I would like to introduce Hachioji Gourmet! Yesterday was a cold day with rain, so I wanted to eat ramen asexually, so I visited a Minamoto in Misaki Town for the first time in a long time yellowtail lunch! I usually eat it after drinking, but I may have eaten it sober since I was in high school (laughs). This restaurant has a strong image of Sapporo miso ramen, but my recommendation is this Asahikawa soy sauce ramen! It was a m(__)m treat https://hachi-navi.com/gourmet/ramen/279043...
