This dashing young man may look familiar if you’re big on Japanese history and drama – moreso if you’re interested in books you shouldn’t write in.

Hello again, Hyogo JETs! Enjoying the soon-to-be-smoldering weather? I only have a few very brief announcements this month. Brief but important, so don’t start scrolling or clicking somewhere else just yet – yeah, I saw that. Officially as of June 15, Miriam Rollason will be taking over this little chunk of Hyogo Times as the…

Perhaps not exactly within Hyogo, this month’s bonus Maigo begs the question: where can you pay final respects to these dearly departed pirates?
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?

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!
