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)
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?
Perhaps not exactly within Hyogo, this month’s bonus Maigo begs the question: where can you pay final respects to these dearly departed pirates?
One part of the culture I really wanted to learn more about during my time as a JET was Japan’s rich theater history. I had studied traditional theater forms like Kabuki, Noh and Bunraku Puppet Theater in my college years, and when I was placed in Kyoto I was thrilled to be able to see…
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.
Where in Hyogo can you find these scores of immobile soldiers standing at attention?
