I'm from a 'country'

I'm from a 'country' because My home town is '田舎館(Inakadate)' village.

'田舎(inaka)' means a country, and '館(tate or yakata)' means a palace. As this name, the public office is designed like a Japanese castle.

In recent years in my village, about 1,000 people, which is a sixth of the population, gather in front of 'the castle' and plant some kind of rice in the correct position. In the next fall, you can see at the top of 'the castle' with no charge. This picture was on a paper of The New York Times.

In this area, many people grow rice, fruits, and vegetable, Inakadate is close to Hirosaki, so you can come and enjoy our nature with ease.
