My hometown...!?


Hello, everyone! J
In this post, I would like to tell you about my hometown. Actually, I wrote a little post on the last post. But, I would like to introduce the particulars of the hometown.

My hometown is Hamada in Shimane.
Tsusuji
Marine Ohashi

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First, I would like to introduce a symbol in Hamada. “TSUTSUJI” is Hamada city flower. “TSUTUSJI” is azalea. Do you know azalea? It is also seen in Seattle? In the spring, a lot of azaleas are in bloom in the city. It is colorful and so cute. “Cherry blossom” is Hamada city tree.  Cherry blossom is also one of the national flowers of Japan. I think that Hamada citizen as well as Japanese likes Cherry blossom. Symbol fish of Hamada is “hilgendorf saucord.” This fish is expensive. There are the beautiful sea and many delicious fish in Hamada. Hamada has expanse of beautiful sea. Every morning, fish auction is taking place in fishing port. Near fishing port, there is a small bridge called "Marine Ohashi.” It is a small tourist spot.
There is also a mountain in Hamada, the leaves turn red and yellow in autumn. It is very beautiful. I like autumn.
Iwami Kagura
Hamada belongs to the Iwami region. That's where “Iwami Kagura” is famous. Do you know Iwami Kagura? It is a local arts of Iwami region, it is like a drama with the motif of a Japanese myth. It is often danced at the festival. I think mask is a little scary.


In this, I finish introduce of Hamada.
 Thank you for reading my post till the end. :-)

    Yes, the azalea can be found in Seattle. It is a beautiful flower, and I have some growing outside my home.
    The marine Ohashi is some interesting architecture, I would really enjoy looking out to see from that vantage point. :)
