Kurashiki, Okayama

One place you may want to travel in Japan is Kurashiki in Okayama prefecture.

They have a beautiful sightseeing area called "Bikan-chiku" (bikan=beatiful scenery, chiku=area)

Has been a while...

Has been a while since my last article...

Okay, so here, I've added more items to my Japanese cuisine website.

Japanese string instrument 'Shami-sen' with violing

Here's a unique duo band called "Sa-la-ri".

It's a band with the Japanese traditional string instrument 'Shami-sen' (three stringed instrument) and Western traditional instrument violin.

Listen to how Western pop music turns into semi-Eastern style by combining the melody of 'shami-sen'.

Relaxing place in Japan, Kagoshima Hana-Kawase Natural Park

If you plan to come to Japan and want to enjoy nature, Hana-Kawase Natural Park is one place you might want to visit.

You'll find a river like in the video below. A shallow river where you can lie down on the river bed and still not drown.

There's no transportation so you'll need to rent a car to go there, but it's worth it!!
