Like so many other Hyogo (and Osaka, and Kyoto, and even SHIGA I hear) JETs, I was dismayed when the huge behemoth of an event that was the Tigers baseball game was canceled due to rain last month. Seriously crushed. While I wasn’t one of the people shelling out for shinkansen tickets, it was a…
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?!
Maigo in Hyogo: November ’11
This is a two-parter Maigo. Can you guess where this…particular statue…can be found? Can you also guess what this…guy…is trying to sell you? No wait, that looked weird as soon as I typed it. Okay. Never mind that part! This guy is actually the mascot of a very tasty and popular item. Oh gosh that sounds worse…you know what, never mind. Just start guessing.

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!
