Today I joined an English and Chinese guide training tour in Shirahama, which was organized by Wakayama prefecture. There were no other participants for Chinese training, so I became in charge of the interpreter for Chinese guests, but it was very worth to hear other’s guiding in English! In Sandanbeki cave, the narcissus smelled so nice in front of the steep cliffs. 和歌山県主催の通訳ガイド研修in白浜に参加しました。...

In Summer in Japan, we have some unique customs. One of them is “Uchimizu”, which is sprinkling water over the roads or the entrance, to lower the temperature. And we set “Furin”, kind of a small wind bell. It is a seasonal item, and it catches the breeze and makes the bell tinkle, bringing on a feeling of coolness in the hot Japanese Summer. 🙂 三連休が始まりましたね。 暑いけれど、海水浴にぴったりの、よいお天気に恵まれそうです♪...

It is a new moon tonight. I burned a handmade incense, it’s kind of a New Moon Ritual. Calm Night will help you achieve and maintain your inner peace. I haven't noticed that before, but Japanese lantern is silhouetted against the light. 今夜は新月。お香を焚いて、心静かに過ごす夜。 ふと顔を上げたら、こんなシルエットが…あたたかな光にほっこり(*^^*)

Join us and chill out together. But be careful, it may make you feel sleepy?! 😉 全国的に寒波到来。...

The cleaning has been finished at Konichi-an, and I'm carrying the furnitures and doing small DIY jobs in the guesthouse. It was like a summer day today, and it will be much hotter in Shirahama area, so I set bamboo screen at Engawa veranda. In this season, the west facing window shows you a beautiful shadow tree in the early evening...it's like a picture window. 美装屋さんに入っていただき、隅々まで綺麗にしていただいた好日庵♪...

This is a "Hibachi" in Japanese, an old style portable brazier that burns charcoal and has a grill for cooking. In Japan, a deep freeze is spreading today, I just want to burn charcoal, broil "Himono" fish, and drink hot Japanese Sake here! :) 今季最強クラスの寒波が襲来しているようで、温暖な紀南地方でも、山沿いのエリアではすでに積雪があるようです。 雪が心配されるエリアの方は、どうぞお気をつけくださいね!...
