Novemeber 26, 2024 - Numbers and Dates in Japanese

 My favorite day is August 31st. This day is called Vegetable Day, and Vegetable Day is August 31st. This is a play on words, "ya (8) sa (3) i (1)" (vegetables are 8, 3, 1), and was established in 1983 by nine organizations, including the Food Distribution Improvement Association and the National Federation of Fruit and Vegetable Commercial Cooperatives, with the aim of raising awareness of the nutrients and health benefits of vegetables. I don't like vegetables very much, but on this day I feel like eating them properly. I live alone and can only cook simple dishes, but on August 31st this year I made stuffed peppers. Let's all eat lots of vegetables on August 31st.

November 5, 2024 - The Changing Colors of Fall!

 My favorite spot in Japan is kamikochi in Nagano Prefecture. The biggest attraction of Kamikochi is that you can hike and climb mountains in the majestic nature, with close views of mountains over 3,000 meters above sea level.　In addition to the impressive mountains, you can enjoy a rich variety of beautiful natural scenery such as ponds and rivers.　Its beauty is highly praised not only in Japan but also around the world.　However, due to the high altitude of Kamikochi, the　temperature varies greatly depending on time and location. Even in summer, it can be cold depending on the weather, so going in November is not a good idea for someone like me who is sensitive to cold weather.　However, once you see it, it is a spectacular view that you will never forget, so there is no harm in going! !
