Where in Hyogo can you have such sweet back-of-house seats?
Travel Japan: Tottori
Tottori is situated on the Sea of Japan, with the Sendai River running through it. Japan’s largest sand dunes stretch 16 km along the coast of Tottori-ken, and they are the main sightseeing destination. I have visited Tottori City twice now – in spring and in winter. It was lovely in both seasons, but with…

Where in Hyogo can these precocious primates be found?
Plum Rain
In my first year, in mid-May, I was standing at a checkout counter in fluorescent-lit Jusco. “It’s hot isn’t it,†the lady remarked as she rang up my items. “Yeah, it’s like it’s already summer!†I replied. She considered this. “Well, yeah, except, first comes the rain, then summer,†she informed me. Oh, right, of…

If you run around Japan long enough you’re bound to see or hear about this store, but in this photo it’s the building itself that’s important. What used to be here before American-man-size clothing? (that’s your hint >:D)

I stumbled on this website. I didn’t know what school it is, but there is a sign refering to Kobe Marathon and so I guessed it is near Kobe. There is a white keep of a castle in the background “tenshukaku.” The are a bit over hundred or so castles in Japan, not all are white, not all have keeps. Using google maps, I picked a castle in Western Japan near kobe at random, Akashi castle in Miki…I think I got lucky. Take a look at the relationship between the field and the keep: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=castles&hl=en&ll=34.653192,134.990425&spn=0.002948,0.004801&sll=34.6532,134.991685&sspn=0.002948,0.004801&radius=0.16&t=k&z=18
The color of the field is different on google maps…but I dont think that means anythign. Do I get a prize?
Good job! The answer is Akashi Park, site of Akashi castle. As for the prize…it’s the satisfaction of knowing you got the answer. You also get a permanent record of your achievement on this site!
