During my visit to western Japan last autumn, my final stop was Hiroshima. Despite its tragic history, the city serves as a powerful symbol of resilience, much like the phoenix rising from the ashes. The Hiroshima Castle, which was reconstructed after being destroyed in World War II, stands as a testament to this resilience. The castle grounds provide a peaceful retreat with a variety of trees and flowers, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting for visitors. Inside the castle tower, the museum offers a chance to explore the rich history of the Hiroshima castle town and provides breathtaking views of the city from the observation platform at the top.

It's good to have a view of the rock garden, but it's another thing to pay attention to the fusuma paintings. I feel a strange fascination. I came here to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but for some reason my heart felt calm and warm.

I would like to say to those who are satisfied with only school trips. That's not enough to know all about Kyoto. If you walk around Kyoto, you can say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Where is this place? I think it's a journey to find it.

When I was walking along the Kinukake road, I turned around and saw the Niomon gate towering over me. Thank you, I'll be back. As we run, the gentle Spring sunlight shines on us.

If such a large gate is located near the Golden Pavilion and the rock garden of Ryoanji Temple, why doesn't everyone go? And that's fine. You can leave it as it is. Remembering the Rashomon gate that used to be in Heiankyo, I walked slowly, indulging in the thoughts of the thief in the rain inn under the Rashomon.

When the number of people at Nanzenji Temple increased, it happened to be in a place I was passing by. It is the entrance to the national treasure, Nanzenji Temple Hojo. Impression when I think about inviting imperial envoys and messengers of the shogunate from here. I want to let a lot of people know this, but I want to keep it to myself. With that in mind, I'm typing today

At 4:30 p.m., Nijo Castle is disappearing. It has now become a popular tourist destination. There are many foreigners who stand out, and this is what overtourism is ... And to the feeling of disappointment. I wanted to go when there were no people, but I couldn't help it. It made me sad to think that I was lucky just because there were no people under this gate.

The long week of the new school year is coming to an end. Here's a little reflection of March. [Implementation of study tour by junior high and high school students @ Tomi City] 3/23 (Sat) - 26 (Tue) As part of the Ueda-Tomi Study Tour, members of the Social Action Team of the Volunteer Department of International Secondary School attached to Tokyo Gakugei University visited Tomi City! While continuing the relationship with Ueda, this time the field was expanded to Tomi, and 14 junior high and high school students experienced Tomi for the first time (Tomi was on the 1st day of 3/25). We actually visit the area, interacted with local people, and worked on a study tour to think about local issues together from the perspective of junior high and high school students. Tomi's theme is "How can people gather in Tomi?" (It's huge!) Because this was my first time in Tomi, I dared to ask them to grasp the charm of Tomi from multiple perspectives without being bound by the perspective of tourism. [Local people who cooperated this time] ⚪︎Cave Hatano Hatano-san ⚪︎SASAKI FARM 佐々木さん ⚪︎ Kodama Family Residence & Cafe Nei Kodama's family ⚪︎Unno Yado Kamishuya Asakawa-san * SASAKI FARM was specially accepted for training. Please note that it is not a tourist ranch. The junior high and high school students fell in love with the land of Tomi itself, and while touching the enthusiasm of Adults who took on the challenge of realizing their commitments and desires, they enthusiastically asked specific and Unfolding questions. Although it was only one day, I was very impressed by the way they tried to get to know Tomi deeply. At the end, the "charm of Tomi" that everyone felt at the Unno Yado Fureai Center was output in a short time. From the moment you unfold the imitation paper, the pen moves all at once! Impression by the enthusiasm of the junior high and high school students. I'm looking forward to the reports that will be compiled in the future. Tomi, like Ueda, I can't help but think that we can build a Gari with continuity.
