Hello, today I’ll tell about my hometown Oda city.
Oda city is in center of Shimane prefecture. There are 38,069 people. Oda city is very small town, but there are many mythological stories. One of famous story is ‘A Kunibiki mythology（国引き神話）’. Long ago, a deity wants more land, So he make a rope and hang two mountains. He pulls some land from a continent by the rope. The lands have been completed Shimane prefecture’s land.
One of the mountain which was hanged the rope was celled ‘Mt. Sahime(佐比売山)’. Now the mountain called ‘Mt. Sanbe (三瓶山)’ which is in Oda city.
There are forest, pound, plateau and so on. If you have a car, why don’t you go for a drive on Mt. Sanbe. You could see such a beautiful nature. If you come to Japan now, you can see beautiful autumn leaves. I went Mt. Sanbe the last month, there are not autumn leaves yet.
Also if you visit Oda city, please eat fish!
Oda city look out on Japanese Sea, so you could eat delicious fish dish.
My favorite fish dish is a fresh slices of raw horse mackerel. I know somebody can’t eat raw fish. If you couldn’t eat raw fish, please choice a grilled horse mackerel. It is also good!
Oda city has many good places. I looking forward of somebody know about my hometown.
Thank you.
Hi, my name is Kea. Your hometown sounds very nice! I would like to visit Oda sometime. What is the weather like there right now? It is already cold in Seattle! I enjoyed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteOda's myth of increasing land is the first of its kind that I hear. I say this because the myths I've grown up with normally are stories of "god-like" tragedies that explain humanity's existence and way of thought or feeling. But, that is just me. I'm pretty sure other American kids grew up with other types of myths. If you are curious, then I will let you know thatI grew up with Greek Mythology. Later -Guadalupe
