Akkeshi Port Festival July 7, 8,9, 2023 It will be held in real life for the first time in three years. The townspeople burst and become lively. Floats parade through the town, and the lion dance and the sound of flutes create a festival.

It is a white-walled townscape (下街街) in Shimomachi, Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The season is over, but the festival will start on April 22nd.

100-400. Yoyogi park. Personal favourite.

Akkeshi Ayame Festival June 24 - July 2, 2023 Considering the climate since the beginning of this year, it is thought that it will start blooming in mid-June. This is the season when [Toxilaz] is fried every year and is the most recommended season for me personally. Dosanko is grazing. Horses do not eat irises but eat other grass, so they are released and seem gentle at first glance, but they are naturally rough. Touch it, but never go backwards.

2023 "Akkeshi Cherry Blossom / Kaki Matsuri" It will be held from May 13 to 21, 2023! Sunday the 14th and 21st is an event day.

It is one of the representatives of Japan spring. The five-storied pagoda (Chureito Pagoda), cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji. Niikurayama Sengen Park is famous as a spot with a superb view of Mt. Fuji that represents Japan. From the observation deck at the end of the 398 steps, you can see the cityscape of Fujiyoshida below, and beyond that, you can see the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji spreading symmetrically. Especially during the cherry blossom season in spring, you can see a superb view of Mt. Fuji, the five-storied pagoda, and cherry blossoms, which are a set of icons that represent the Japan. The attraction is not only in spring, but also in harmony with Mt. Fuji, which changes its appearance in each season throughout spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the nature in the park creates a beautiful landscape. Many foreign tourists came to see this Japan scenery. Shot at Niikurayama Sengen Park, Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

Spring in Japan means cities surrounded by rows of cherry blossom trees, but whenever we imagine we think about light pink or white flowers and their fragile petals fluttering in the breeze. But these dark pink cherry blossoms are also gorgeous and they bloom much before than common sakura. These flowers are called Kawazu zakura and you can see this grand view if you visit this town from late Feb to early march.

【English/Japanese】 I went to the rooster market in Hachioji with some of my students! There is an Otori Shrine about a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. I was impressed by the lucky and gorgeous decorations. Moreover, the sight of shopkeepers calling out good luck to customers who buy them was just like Japanese culture, and the students were very excited. On the way home, we bought a specialty of the rooster market, kirisansho (rice cakes covered with a spice called sansho). It was very delicious. There are two more rooster fairs to come. We hope you will visit the rooster market as well. I went to the Hachioji Tori no Ichi with my students! There is Otori Shrine about a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. Impressed by the auspicious and luxurious decoration. In addition, the sight of the shop staff shouting auspicious things to customers who bought them was a reflection of Japanese culture itself, and the students were also excited. On the way back, I bought Tori no Ichi's famous kiri sansho (mochi sprinkled with spices called sansho). It was very tasty. There are two more Tori no Ichi. Please come and visit us.
