how are you today
The autumn leaves are beautiful in the Japanese countryside.
Mountain landscapes are filled with yellows and reds.
The types of leaves that change in autumn include maple, ginkgo, Japanese cypress, and hazenoki.
Autumn leaves can be seen from October in Hokkaido and until December in the Kyushu region.
Autumn is the most pleasant season.
Hike through the Japanese countryside during autumn foliage season.
I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Hi π¦ how are you today
I'm going to introduce you to life in the Japanese countryside.
More than 200 fireworks festivals are held all over Japan.
The three major fireworks festivals in Japan are the "National Fireworks Competition (Omagari Fireworks)" in Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, the "Tsuchiura National Fireworks Competition" in Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and the Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. Three of "Nagaoka Festival Fireworks Display".
Even in the rural town where I live, with a population of 20,000, there is a fireworks display every year during the Obon period.
The purpose is to entertain children and grandchildren working in urban areas who are returning home for Obon.
Watch the small fireworks display
At this fireworks venue, we are holding a silent Bon Odori festival.
No drums. It is a quiet Bon Odori with only songs. The atmosphere is sad and strange.
The song is called "Kudoki".
When you come to Japan in the summer, please publish the countryside.
You can see the real Japanese people.
Tomorrow I will write about the countryside in Japan, so please read it.
see you
Hi π¦ how are you today
I'm going to introduce you to life in the Japanese countryside.
Before that, I will talk about why I moved to the countryside.
The primary reason is that the cost of living is low.
My pension is about 140,000 yen, or about $965.
This amount is the median value of Japanese who have worked for 40 years.
Believe it or not, this is the real economic reality of the Japanese elderly.
Working in the city might make you a little richer.
However, if I lived in the countryside, I could get fresh vegetables and fish, so I moved to the countryside.
The median monthly cost of living for pensioners over the age of 65 living with their spouses is ¥175,000, or about $1,200.
Japanese people do not always live affluent lives.
The reason why I moved to the countryside is because I can't afford to be rich financially.
I chose the pleasure of living in nature over economic wealth.
I currently live in the Sanin region of Yamaguchi prefecture.
There are beautiful seas and hot springs here.
A country town that French pianist Alfred Denis Cortot, liked.
Tomorrow I will write about rural Japan.
I'll put in a little bit of the true feelings of Japanese people.
Please come look again
Hi π¦ how are you today
It's hot and humid in the countryside of Japan today.
The climate has become subtropical year by year.
Since ancient times, Japan has a custom of visiting graves during Obon.
About half of Japan's population lives in the Tokyo and Osaka areas.
The people come back to their parents' homes in the countryside, so the supermarkets in the countryside are very busy.
On average, people who return to their hometowns for Obon only have three vacation days. Many people still return to their homes.
When I lived in an urban area, I was exhausted because I had to visit both my wife's and my own parents' homes in three days.
Recently, I started recommending that all employees take summer vacations, but even so, almost no one can take 10 days in a row.
My hometown is the San'in region facing the Sea of Japan.
We can see the very beautiful sea.
Most of the Japanese roots are in the countryside.
In this blog, I will write about the culture and nature of rural Japan.
Please read by all means
See you tomorrow
