During a recent visit to the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter in Japan, I was enchanted by the beautiful white-walled townscape and the rich history and art it held. The serene atmosphere along the Kurashiki River, with its white-walled warehouses and willow trees, offered a truly unique and charming experience. Exploring the traditional buildings and modern shops, such as the Kurashiki Canvas and Kurashiki Denim stores, was a delight. The area was bustling with tourists. I spent an entire day enjoying myself in the history, art, and culture of this remarkable quarter and look forward to returning in the future.

It's amazing to hear about Shirakawago, located in Gifu Prefecture. It's not just a beautiful spot, but it offers so much more. The village's Gassho-style houses, with over 100 buildings of this style still standing, are truly remarkable. I enjoyed the experience the traditional Japanese scenery and rural ways of life there. The rich history of the area dating back to 7000 B.C. is truly awe-inspiring. The iconic gassho-style houses with their large thatched roofs resembling hands joined in prayer are such a beautiful representation of the village's unique culture.

Kankochi Suwa!!!  Introducing the Takashima Castle Festival! May 26, 2024 (the fourth Sunday in May every year). The 55th Takashima Castle Festival was held in. This year, 19 groups presented on stage. Hip-hop dances, Japan dances, Drum, singer singing, Restrooms available and the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps (arquebus) were Restrooms available.   The Gun Squad made a strong impression on me. Restrooms available even in Japan. The arquebus is about 430 years old Restrooms available and I think that there are few people who have traditionally preserved the ones that can be used today Squid The people who protect the arquebus and carry on the tradition are the people of the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps. That's why arquebuses can be seen at events such as Matsumoto Castle. The gunners brought several types of arquebuses. To the untrained eye, I saw two types of arquebuses. The first is the bantsu (infantry gun), and the next is the medium tube (medium gun). They fired blanks in several different formations. It was a great impact sound! Finally, a batter from Suwa shot the middle tube. It was a huge sound that seemed to cut through the space we were in. It was really amazing, and I felt wonderful! Drum performances, children's Hip-Hop dances, and families came to watch. In this festival, you can buy specialties from Stalls, sister cities, and friendship cities, and you can also do tree climbing!!  We were blessed with good weather and many citizens came to the event. If you have the opportunity to come to the Takashima Castle Festival, please come and enjoy it!

◆Hikoku Hiraka Momo Highway◆ The flower peach of Hikokudaira began in Heisei 9 when he purchased 15 original seedlings from Kiyonai Road in Achi Village and planted them around his home. (It is said that the flower peach of Kiyonaiji originated in the 11th year of the Taisho era, when Momosuke Fukuzawa (Yukichi Fukuzawa's son-in-law) brought back seedlings from Munich, Germany.) ) Impression by the wonderful red, white, and pink flowers of the peaches, I decided that I wanted to plant trees according to the Local landscape, so I planted trees extensively. Trees were planted on their own land and along roads, and trees were also planted on village-owned land on the side of the road. In Heisei 12, we received a "self-made community development project grant" and received cooperation from neighboring residents in planting trees and cutting undergrowth, and now more than 200 flower peaches have been planted. Every year, the scenery surrounded by beautiful flowers and peaches has become a popular area. The name of Hikokudaira is derived from the store name of its founder, Masaru Kubota.
