throwing rice cake
Today, I talk about festival in my hometown. This is throwing rice cake. This celebration in my hometown is held from the second half of September to the first half of October. This festival means that to celebrate the good harvest, to pray for the next year of good harvest. Men who was unlucky year and shrine-related people throw a rice cake from the top of the tower. These rice cakes color are red and white because red and white color are said auspicious color. We can get many rice cakes! We can get some money like getting rice cake but this is depending on shrines. This festival can join from children to senior. It is so funny. When I was a child, I joined every year.

Fushimi Inari in Kyoto
Hi, everyone! Today I talk about a interesting tourist destination. I want to introduce Fushimi Inari. Do you know this place? This is a shrine in Kyoto Prefecture. I think this place is the most famous in Kyoto because there are amazing spots! However, I tell you only one spot. If you know other spots, please try to go there. There is a place where is called "one thousand torii gate." Many big torii is there. Torii gate is a gateway of shrine and passing the gateway means that you are entering divine space. I like this great place. If you come to Japan, I recommend you go there.

I like dogs!
I think dogs are better than cats to have as a pet because I prefer dogs to cats. When I was a elementary school student, my grandfather had a toy poodle. She is so cute and smart. When I was crying in my grandfather's house, she came to me and licked me. Also, if someone comes to my grandfather's house, she often barks. In other words, thanks to her, we can notice a trespasser. I like to walk outside. If I have dogs, I can walk outside with dogs. However, if I have cats, I can't walk outside with cats. I want to play with them!

learn Korean
I'd like to learn Korean because there is near Japan so I can visit easily there. When I was a high school student, I was planing to visit to Korea with friend as a graduation trip. However, we didn't go because we were afraid that we cannot talk Korean. I want to go there! I made Korean friends here so I want them to teach Korean. Next year, I can study Korea in my Japanese university so I am planning to learn this.
