I installed 😍 a kit wish fulfillment ema We collaborated with KitKat a few years ago (Kitto Line) and installed the ema that was installed at that time again this year! !️ When you come to Highlands, please write your wish at Takaharu Station! !️😝 Ema will be firmly dedicated at the shrine ⛩️! I did a little research on "about Ema"! ⭐︎ Unlike fortune tellers, "Dedication" ⭐︎ Vertical or horizontal writing is fine. ⭐︎ Since it is a request to God, it seems that it is better to write that it will come true. ⭐︎ The name can be either initials! Actually, it seems that it is better to write Address and Birthday, but there are many people who do not write it now because personal Information leaks. ⭐︎ There is no problem if you write several wishes on one ema, but it is preferable to divide them according to the content of the prayer. ⭐︎ It seems that it is okay to dedication ema to several shrines and temples with the same wish. I can't say that this is correct because it is what I researched, but it seems that if you remember Roux, your wish will come true more! 😍 Please stop by Takaharu Station to write ema, ema fee is free! !️🤩 Location: Takaharucho Tourism Association (Takaharu Station) Address: Miyazaki Prefecture Nishimorokata District Takaharu Nishi Foothills 473-6 Car parking is available (free)

Ginji Katsura Rakugo Performance Today, December 15, a rakugo performance by Ginji Katsura, who hails from Nobeoka and is also active in Tokyo, took place🪭✨ This event held the morning show at Kurun and the afternoon show at Kuraokakurara🤗 As a poster, this was my first time seeing live rakugo properly, and I was very excited to watch🤩✨ Rakugo uses almost no props! Performers remain seated, using only a tenugui (hand towel) and a sensu (folding fan), skillfully expressing characters through gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact😯 They make the audience imagine the scene, delivering stories that end with a punchline that makes you laugh out loud🤭 It was truly funny, and I listened with excitement wondering how each punchline would land🤣💫 The scene of eating soba was especially striking. It was incredible—he really made it seem like he was eating. It looked delicious🤤💕 lol In the afternoon, students from Gokase Secondary School also came to watch, and the venue filled with laughter✨ A boy of around five laughed out loud too, and I felt rakugo is a wonderful art that transcends gender and age😳 He kindly agreed to commemorative photos, and both the morning and afternoon shows provided a consistently enjoyable time🥹👏 I hope he will hold another rakugo performance in Gokase soon🤗✨ Thank you very much for today, Ginji Katsura👏👏👏
