In Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, the sea of Hawaii Beach is fantastic with floating torii gates. It seems that God is watching over you, and you can swim with peace of mind.

Genkoan in Kyoto. Window of enlightenment and window of confusion

I chose one that makes me feel the summer of Japan, where fireworks shine on the old townscape, and the summer of my nostalgic hometown. The historic "Sushuikyo River Festival Fireworks Festival" rooted in the hometown was held for the first time in three years. Here in Yaotsu, there is the Minato "Kurose Minato" at the top of the Kiso River, which was so busy that it was called "Little Edo" in the Edo period, and the history of fireworks can be traced back to the Edo period. It is still held on the Kiso River as a remnant of the gorgeous days of boat transportation. I am really happy that the fireworks festival, which began as a result of the war memorial and post-war reconstruction by Coronavirus pandemic, continued to be held in a small town while major fireworks festivals continued to be abolished and integrated one after another. In the middle of Coronavirus pandemic, there were tornadoes last year, and disasters continued in Yaotsu, but it is the birthplace of Chiune Sugiura, and the nature of the Kiso River and mountains, and the town is full of charm for delicious foods such as eel and kurikinton. In the future, when the New Maruyama Dam is completed and the surrounding area is maintained, it will be possible to go to the secluded Fukasawa Gorge again. I hope that it will bring back the bustle of the past.

Speaking of summer, fireworks! of the last year before Corona Toyama Prefecture Shinminato Kaiomaru Park Fireworks Festival 🎆 It was very powerful! It's been ruined this year~. I hope to see it again next year~ 😌

Tonight, I will compare the white label and blue label of Chichibu's Ichiro's malt whisky at TAJIMA GLASS in Edo Glass, which is famous for its Mt. Fuji glass with Mt. Fuji at the bottom of the rock glass. White is easier to drink, but I prefer blue.

The long-awaited local fireworks festival was held for the first time in three years. Although it was not the same as before, it was ✨ a very moving time to be able to share the local tradition with my family and many people for the first time in a long time.

I went to the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival in Niigata Prefecture for the first time. I was moved from start to finish.

Photo taken on August 6, 2022. From the summit of Mt. Takachiho. The summer grass fluttered in the wind and was refreshing! It's the time of year when the flowers don't bloom anymore, but seeing the tall and energetic grass cheers me up.

Was back in Kanda today for the first time in a while, but I decided to go back to the same izakaya I visited a few months ago. The food is really great and again it wasn't very crowded since I went a bit early. If you're in the Kanda area I recommend checking it out. Kakuuchi Inagaki 角打 いながき. They offer extra helpings of rice for free and also free refills of miso soup!

It is "Kowatari no Yumekake Wind Chime" held throughout August in Kodo Town, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. Various kinds of wind chimes are hung throughout the town, and when the wind blows, they ring all at once. We also do wind chime coloring experiences and yukata dressing sessions. There is also a small river flowing, and how about 🤗 cooling off with the sound of wind chimes and the murmur of the river?

The last couple photos I wanted to post from our trip to Takamatsu. The first one was at one of the stations by Ritsurin Park. It just tells you not to try and go past the railway crossing after the bar has come down but I thought the pictures on it were pretty funny lol. The second was just one of the manholes that I thought looked nice. Snapped a photo of it outside of Takamatsu Castle

The Doraemon train I saw a while ago ΦωΦ

At Imizu Shrine in Toyama Prefecture, the first time "Mizuomikuji" was served in the summer. It was a hot day, but it was cool~ 😊

Had some tasty cheesecake at a small cafe near Machiya

Samba is the traditional Brazilian dance and a cultural heritage of that country. Although in Tokyo there are not so many Brazilian but very fortunately there is a Samba carnival in Tokyo which is known as Asakusa Samba Carnival. The carnival is very colorful and full of joy and entertainment. Due to the corona pandemic last 2 years the carnival was cancelled and it seems this year also the carnival will be cancelled but in 2019 I was able to enjoy it. It was my 1st time to enjoy such a colorful and cheerful festival.

On the final day of our trip we were a bit tired but still wanted to see a few things and just casually enjoy our time. We ended up going to Marugame Castle as our first destination. It was really cool as it's one of the 12 castles in Japan that still has an original castle keep. The castle itself isn't very large, but the area surrounding it is. From the bottom of the castle the keep is quite small so it's hard to get a good photo of it, but we got a photo of it with one of the turrets along the moat wall which was cool. We reserved a rickshaw ride the previous night as well so when we got to the castle we did a little exploring and then we went on a guided tour around the lower area of the castle. The rickshaw guide was a really nice guy and quite funny as well. Apparently he was a comedian but he enjoyed doing this job as well. He told us a bunch of different things about the castle and it's construction while also telling some jokes occasionally. After the rickshaw tour we climbed our way up to the top of the castle and there were saw really amazing views waiting for us at the top. You could see the entire city almost. We also entered the castle keep, but it was relatively small. It was still nice to see the architecture on the inside but the stairs were a bit scary. They were incredibly steep and I was holding the handrails the entire time going up or down them. After checking out the castle we were pretty hungry and so we decided to get some lunch. Being Kagawa is the udon prefecture we went to an udon specialty restaurant. I haven't been to many udon restaurants so it was kind of a new experience for me. They had it set up kind of like a cafeteria and you go through and choose what you want and other toppings to go with your udon. I didn't see the trays for the extra toppings so I just ended up putting the karaage on top of my udon lol. I got niku udon and it tasted really good. The karaage was a nice touch as well. Not the usual tempura most people get but it went surprisingly well with the soup. After eating we headed towards Nakazu Banshoen, a garden with art exhibits as well. Before getting there we decided to stop by a Lupin-themed cafe though. It was a really tiny shop but we were able to cool off for a bit and relax which was nice since we were walking quite a bit. The garden was quite large and had a lot of different points of interest within it. The stepping stones were fun to cross and the row of torii gates was pretty cool as well. You can definitely take some nice photos with them. And that concludes our trip to Takamatsu! Overall it was a really fun trip and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't been to Shikoku or Kagawa before. We didn't even get to do everything we were looking at but we still had a blast!

[English/Japan] The other day, we held a summer festival as a school event. At that time, we went to Hiyoshi Hachioji Shrine, a five-minute walk from the school. The girls wore yukata and the boys wore happi coats from Okunitama Shrine. It was a very hot day, but the breeze through the shrine grounds felt very pleasant.
