I will introduce fireworks this time.
The fireworks were shot up in the summer night sky in Japan, and I wore my yukata to see them with my friends and partners.
The colors are yellow, green, red, blue and so on. In addition, the picture may emerge.
Fireworks are often held along rivers and the sea because of the danger. In particular, fireworks over the sea are very windy as it seems that fireworks are rising from the sea.
When you come to Japan in the summer, be sure to check out the fireworks.

This is Amaiwado Shrine.
It is located in Miyazaki prefecture.
These are the centers of mythological stages in Japan.
Amaiwado Shrine, introduced this time, is famous as a cave where Amaterasu, the god who made Japan, was hidden in mythology.
Torii at the entrance of the shrine has a rare form installed at the entrance of the cave.
In the second photo, there are a lot of stones piled up, but the visitors are doing it to fulfill their wishes.
It's a little far away from Tokyo, but you should definitely visit when you visit Japan. This is the place where you can feel the origin of Japan.

This photo is of a sunset over Mount Fuji.
The photo is taken from the observation deck of a famous building in Tokyo called Roppongi Hills.
Fuji is special.
It has long been believed by people that climbing is a virtue.
Some people are still chasing Diamond Fuji to take pictures of the morning sun and sunset at the top of Mt. Fuji.
If you look at Mt. Fuji somehow, but not so much, it seems that there are a lot of Japanese who can join hands.
When you come to Japan, it is recommended that you see Mt. Fuji.

Today I will introduce ramen.
Ramen was originally Chinese food, but now it is localized in Japan and is now ramen.
There are four main types of ramen. Soy sauce, salt, miso, pork bone.
Soy sauce is the most orthodox flavor. It is refreshing, and you can usually eat it if you enter a ramen shop in the city.
Salt ramen is a transparent soup, and miso ramen is a brown soup. The miso ramen has corn on it, and the ingredients are characteristic.
Pork bone ramen is characterized by thin noodles and white soup compared to other ramen.
Also popular recently is the family genre, which is a mixture of soy sauce-based and pork bones. This is currently being established as a separate genre that does not fall into four categories.
In recent years, ramen with animal-based soup has become popular, such as boiled ramen and beef bone ramen.
Either way, when you come to Japan, be sure to try ramen! (The picture is pork born)

This is a picture taken from the entrance leading to a Japanese restaurant.
The upper part is a cloth-like partition that separates the inside from the outside, which is called goodwill.
Going through goodwill feels like going to another world.
When you go through the goodwill, the Japanese garden is spreading. The brown object at the back is called a lantern and illuminates the road at night.
Lanterns were originally a tool to protect the fire from the wind by covering the fire with paper and keep the light on. It has now become a stone object. When you go to temples and shrines, you can always see them.
When you come to Japan, please pay attention to goodwill and lanterns!

Today I will introduce Himeji Castle.
The biggest feature is the pure white. Because of its whiteness, it is said to be the egret castle.
A castle that prepares for battle should not be noticeable, so its white appearance is rare compared to other castles.
Also, since the castle has not been attacked for more than 400 years, the remains have remained as they were.
This is also a World Heritage Site, so if you have the chance, be sure to visit it.

This is a food sample.
It is made elaborately so as not to use it with the real thing. Samples are often found at the entrance of a restaurant, so you are often attracted to the restaurant.
The raw material is made of wax and has a history of more than 100 years.
I often see food sample key chains on the street for about 10 years.
When you come to Japan, why not try a souvenir of a food sample key chain?

This is a cherry.
Cherry blossoms are not only beautiful, but also a symbol of encounter and parting for Japanese.
The graduation ceremony and entrance ceremony held in March and April are set with cherry blossoms.
If you come to Japan and see the cherry blossoms, why not immerse yourself in such feelings?

This is autumn leaves.
It is not beautiful because it is a bright color, I feel that the transition of various colors such as green, yellow, red is beautiful.
I feel beauty in the comfort that it doesn't exist in the same state forever.
Autumn leaves are most beautiful in November in Japan.
When visiting Japan in the fall, please enjoy the autumn leaves.

Today I ’m going to introduce karaoke
Karaoke gives you the score of the song you sang.
Also, recently, it gives me a detailed analysis of how I get points.
The scoring of songs sung can be said to be Japanese culture, such as karaoke battles on TV programs.
When you come to Japan, we recommend singing a song in a karaoke box. (The machine also supports English)

This is Shirakawa-go.
The unique shape of the house has been inherited since ancient times and has become a World Heritage Site.
The feature is a steep roof. It is so steep that snow does not accumulate.
The roof is made of rice from the front yard.
In tourist guidebooks, winter is often introduced as the recommended season, but I like the summer when I enjoy the match between fresh green rice and the house.
Please visit Shirakawa-go!

Large rivers are magnificent and often feel the greatness of nature.
But more than that, the Japanese cannot help but feel Ogawa.
Ogawa means short and small river.
Ogawa is a must in Japanese gardens.
There are often brooks in the Japanese garden that are not running. Water is represented by sand.
When you stop by a Japanese garden, why don't you feel the coexistence of nature and Ogawa with your skin?

This is called a mikoshi.
We carry it at the time of the festival. God is riding on the portable shrine.
Usually, people who are quiet will be excited with a powerful voice when it is a festival.
The Japanese are usually calm, and the energy of the explosion is astonishing.

Today we will introduce a tea plantation.
Behind the development of tea as a Japanese culture, samurai are deeply involved.
As Japan modernized, samurai lost their profession. So the samurai were encouraged to create a tea plantation.
Therefore, today it is overflowing with foods and drinks made from tea, such as matcha ice cream, matcha latte, and so on.
When you come to Japan, please taste tea while remembering the samurai.
Thank you!

This is Oyakodon. The broiled chicken is bound with eggs and put on rice.
Oyako means that bird and egg are parent and child
Don means that the side dish is on top of the rice
The point of this dish is that chicken is grilled over charcoal.
Charcoal fire makes chicken delicious
If you come to Japan, try the bowl culture of putting a side dish on rice!

Hello, this is the first time post.
This tree is a weeping willow.
In Japanese,sidare yanagi.
About 300 years ago, when samurai were active, it was described as a beautiful woman because of its supple appearance.
At that time in Japan, thin and supple women were considered beautiful.
When it comes to old Japanese townscapes, there are often sets of willows, rivers and boats.
When you visit Japan, look at willows and feel the uniqueness of Japan.
Thank you ‼︎
(The photo was taken in Kanazawa)
