Maigo in Hyogo: December ’11
I’ll give you two hints for this one: it’s not in Tokyo, and it’s not the Goblin Kingdom…as far as I know -I WAS pretty broke and pretty lost when I found this place. Where am I? What’s going on?!
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…
Maigo in Hyogo: February ’12
This temple’s rock garden was designed to represent the beach where a teenager was killed in single combat. His death is one of the most famous in Japanese history. His killer renounced his samurai life soon after and became a Buddhist monk. This place has some serious education going on…any guesses?
English Sensei Spirit: “From Head to Toe”
(Printouts are at the bottom of the post) A while back, one of my elementary schools requested that I read some English picture books to my sixth graders. So I ran to the nearest Junkudo (an hour away) and picked up the three most interesting (but still simple) I could find from their small selection. …

Tourism in Today’s Japan

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!
