Location: Kamimikawa Town, Tochigi Prefecture Taken in early May On a walk with my cat Chai On the side of the road, there is a large number of "white clover" flower fields that I have not seen in the previous year...! Shooting with the sunset & with the cat 📸 A small view that shines in the Nature of Japan! Actually, this "white clover" Famous for its non-native species and abnormal reproduction. The reason why it is blooming so much this year is that a farmer in the neighborhood is conducting an experiment to see if it will increase if you give it plenty of sun. At a later date, I was ✋ driven by mowing the grass Beautiful plants and flowers that are often seen in daily life. The scenery I saw in this way was engraved with the history of "white clover" that has been breeding until now!

This is a photo of a cat's interior goods at a café in Sanrazaka-cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Use the lights in the store, I expressed "a cat in the twilight of the sunset". According to the owner, it is a work made by an iron craftsman in Miyoshi City. "I like the view from behind, but I can't take a good picture," the owner said. Squid was able to take this photo ☺️ when I was trying to figure out how to capture it well The thinness of the limbs and neck, as well as the symmetrical ears, convey that the iron craftsmen are carefully and thoughtfully made. The skills of Japan craftsmen. I thought it was cool! ✨ It is also a wonderful memory ☺️ that I was able to share my impression with the owner in this photo

Today is February 22nd, which is said to be Cat Day in Chimata. On the west side of Yamato Station on the Sotetsu Line, "Yamato Nadeshiko Square" has a huge mural by illustrator Masamichi Oikawa, known for the magazine "Pia", decorating the square. If you look closely, you can see a cat...! (=^・・^=) There is also a depiction of Yamaton, which seems to be having fun. By the way, the community bus that runs in the city is also wrapped with Mr. Oikawa's illustration.

The second stage of the Kobe, Rediscovery series is the story of a cat who lives in a shrine. A crest of chrysanthemum flowers in running water ... This crest, famous as the family crest of the Kusunoki clan, resembles the rising sun from the horizon. This is the Minatogawa Shrine where Kusunoki Masanari is celebrated. At the shrine, three cats were always looking down at the people who came and went from the roof tiles. When I passed through here for the first time in several years, I was still relaxed... Feeling smaller than before? Maybe there has been a generational change. At this time, I photographed one of the two dogs. Relaxing in this way, I was still looking down at the people who came and went. Please visit when you take a walk in Kobe. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to look too high and bump into it.

A photo taken in the sea of Chatan. I'm usually a dog person, but every time I see a cat, I think that the silhouette of a cat is good.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "umestagram" post "Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo". It's a cute photo of the beckoning cats with simple expressions. Gotokuji Temple, which is related to Maneki-neko, is located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo in the Kanto region. A long time ago, Naotaka Ii, the lord of the Hikone clan, was beckoned by a cat in the temple on his way home from falconry and went inside, and suddenly a thunderclap came. The episode that he was able to avoid difficulties thanks to the cat and also enjoyed talking with Kazuhisa is the origin of "Maneki Neko's Birthplace". In the wake of this, Godeji Temple was revived in the 10th year of Kanei 1633 with the support of Ii Naotaka. At Godeji Temple, the beckoning cat is called "Maneki Neko". In the "Shofukuden" in the precincts, various sizes of Shofuku cat children are dedicated, and the sight is breathtaking. At the shrine office, you will receive a red seal and an amulet and figurine of a Shofuku cat child, so how about a souvenir? At the café "Mahorodo Aozuki" in the vicinity, you can enjoy a menu related to Godeji Temple such as "Maneki Nekodora". Access is about a 10-minute walk from Gotokuji Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line, and about a 5-minute walk from Miyanosaka Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line. There are many signs and figurines with cat motifs in front of the station and in the shopping street, and there are many highlights while going from the station to Gotokuji Temple.

[English/Japanese] February 22 is "Cat Day" in Japan. In Japan, February 22 is "Cat Day", and there is a lot of excitement as people upload pictures of cats on social media. Do you like cats? Or do you prefer dogs? In this article, I would like to talk about the pet situation in Japan. 1 Cat boom In Japan, many people have always owned dogs, but in 2017, the number of cat owners surpassed the number of dog owners. The reason for this is that Japan is an aging society. Dogs have to be accompanied on walks, and elderly people who are worried about their physical strength tend to choose cats that don't need to be walked. Also, more and more people are keeping pets because they are spending more time at home due to the influence of Corona. I wonder if it's the same in your country? 2Can international students have pets? Very few international students have pets. To own a dog, you have to pay several hundred thousand yen at a pet store and also have to get shots. In addition, most apartments in Japan do not allow pets. However, sometimes people keep hamsters, which are relatively cheap and do not have as long a life span as dogs and cats. I heard a story about a Japanese language school that had a problem with a student who suddenly decided to return to his home country and asked them to take in his turtle. Pets are life. It is important to keep them responsibly. 3 If you miss your pet... Some people who used to have pets in their home countries may become stressed out because they cannot interact with their pets during their long stay in Japan. Recently in Japan, there has been an increase in the number of cafes with cats and dogs, where you can casually interact with cats and dogs for just a fee and a drink. In addition to cats and dogs, some of these animal cafes also have birds and reptiles. Please try to use them. Our school does not allow pets in the dormitories. However, there are cat cafes and dog cafes around the school. There is also a zoo just a few stops away from the school. If you are an animal lover, I think you will enjoy your study abroad experience at our school. February 22 is "Cat Day" in Japan. At general stores, products with pictures of cats are on sale, and people are excited to upload them on SNS. Do you like cats? Or do you like dogs? This time, I will talk about the pet situation in Japan. 1 Cat boom Many people have been dog owners in Japan for a long time, but in 2017, the number of cats bred exceeded the number of dogs. The reason is that the Japan is aging. Dogs have to keep up with walks, so elderly people who are worried about their physical strength tend to choose cats that do not need to be walked. In addition, due to the influence of Corona, the time spent at home has increased, so the number of people who have pets is increasing. Is it the same in your country? 2 Can international students have pets? Very few international students have pets. In order to get a dog, you have to pay hundreds of thousands of yen at the pet store and also give injections. In addition, most Japan apartments prohibit keeping pets. However, sometimes there are people who get "hamsters" that are relatively cheap and their lifespan is not as long as that of dogs and cats. At one Japanese school, I heard that a student who was suddenly returning to Japan asked me to take a turtle and had a problem. Pets are life. Be sure to keep them responsibly. 3 If you miss your pet... Some people who had pets in their home countries cannot interact with pets during their long study abroad life, which can be stressful. In Japan, the number of cafes with cats and dogs has been increasing recently, and you can easily interact with cats and dogs with only the usage fee and drink fee. In addition, some cafes where you can interact with these animals sell not only cats and dogs, but also birds and reptiles. Please take advantage of it. Pets are prohibited in the dormitory. However, there are cat cafes and dog cafes around the school. The zoo is also a few stops from the school. I think animal lovers can enjoy studying abroad at our school.

In the Japan of November, there is an event called "Shichigo-san". When boys are three and five years old, and girls are three and seven years old, they visit the god of birth to thank the child for his or her growth so far and pray for his future growth. If you visit Eshima Shrine in Kanagawa Prefecture early in the morning, you can meet the cats as shown in the photo, and children will be very happy.

A cat 🐱 that happened to be covered She is a very expressive child. They smile a lot. You can 😆 see the cool side I can't take you back with me. It was cute. 😍
