My Hometown

Today,I'll talk about my hometown.

My hometown is Hirosaki city.

 Now,most of you live in Hirosaki so you may know anything about this city.

This is a picture of Hirosaki castle. I took and process this picture.

This castle was built about 400 years ago. Hirosaki is a castle town of the Tsugaru clan.

This castle is in the Hirosaki Park.

There are some festivals in the park. You should enjoy these festivals.


Another charateristic  point of this city is a dialect("hougen"in Japanese)

People in Hirosaki speak "Tsugaruben."

For people who came from other region, Tsugaruben seems very difficult to understand.

I hope everyone enjoy the difference.


Thank you for reading. Good night!

My hometown

Good evening,everyone!


My hometown is Izu city in Shizuoka prefecture.
Izu city is in the east of Shizuoka and in the middle of Izu peninsula.

There are many wonderful things .
For example,Izu city is famous for wasabi and shiitake.
In particular,the wasabi becomes first class brand.

This picture is a wasabi field.
There are so many wasabi fields and cultivating them continue from Edo era.
However,it is difficult to cultivate them well because cool water is needed continually.


Moreover,hot springs are also famous in Izu city.
Izu peninsula is closely related with volcano.
So there are many hot springs and people visit there for sightseeing.
Please visit there and take a hot spring bath.

This is Waterfall of Joren.
It is one of 100 selections of Japanese waterfalls.
It is very beautiful and magnificent!
And it has legend that incarnation of Nephila Clavata lives in the bottom of waterfall.



Izu city has many attractive things and places.
The nature is also beautiful.
Please visit and enjoy those things.

Thank you for reading.

Good evening,everyone!

My hometown is Hirosaki city.

Although you may know that there are festivals with the four seasons in Hirosaki,I introduce winter festival.The festival is called "Hirosaki Castle Snow Lantern Festival."
This is held in Hirosaki park in February every year.

There are snow hut which is "Kamakura" in Japanese,and statues made of snow.At night,they are lighted up and you can see fantastic scene. Light reflect in snow.It's very beautiful!

 

 

Furthermore,many events such as stalls,big snow slide,and stage show.It seems that the samisen circle of our university also performs.

The person who comes to a snowy region for the first time can enjoy making snowman or snow hut,and having a snowball fight.

Please have a good time in winter! :)

Good evening, everyone!
I'm Nana Chiba.

My hometown is Tono City in Iwate prefecture.
Tono city is in almost the middle of Iwate Prefecture and at the foot of Mount Hayachine.

Tono city is famous for "tono-monogatari".
"Tono-monogatari" is a falk tale which has been handed down
from generation to generation in the city.
Kunio Yanagida , a folklore scholar in Japan, published a book
named "tono-monogatari" in1910.

This is a picture of "kappa-buchi".
It is told that  "kappa" live in this stream.
"Kappa" is a river goblin in English.
It  is one of the symbols in the city and  appeares in " tono-monogatari".

In addition, there are beautiful natural scenely, various folk arts
and delicious regional cuisines in the city.

Tono city is a very attractive city and I'm proud of it.
If you are interested in my hometown, please ask me about it and visit in the city someday.

My hometown

My hometown is Anshan City of Liaoning Province of China. It is located at the northeast of China. The latitude of Anshan City is almost the same of Hirosaki City. But Anshan is in the inland area so its rainfall is far more smaller than Hirosaki’s. Anshan’s population is 3,65million. And the area of Anshan is almost 4times of Tokyo.

Anshan is an industrial city. Anshan is bounded in iron resource. It is famous for its big iron producing company “Angang”, which is the second largest iron company in China. There are almost 100thousand stuffs in the company. In China everyone knows Anshan, just because of the famous Iron company.

Anshan is also a good place for tourist. Mount Qian is the most famous view spot. Mount  Qian means a thousand mountains. So there are many mountains in Mount Qian. And also many trees, rocks.

Anshan’s local special product is a kind of pear called Nanguoli(南果梨). It’s very soft and sweet, the taste is special. It is also a good present.

Anshan has a big figure of the Buddha,which is made of jade. It is the most big jade figure of Buddha in the world. It is treated as Anshan’s treasure and patron saint. Every year,many people go there for pray.

Self-introduction and About My Hometown

Hello, everyone! My name is Ryunosuke.
I don't know how many times I introduced myself in this class :) But I'm doing again.

I'm majoring the engineering. I like to make some works; illustrations, 3DCG models, motion graphics and so on. Recently, I started the programming with Processing. Processing has a great graphical feedback so I think it's one of the best languages to learn at first.

I'm from Aomori. I was in Aomori for 18 years and then I came to Hirosaki.
Aomori has a huge object, called Asupamu. Asupamu is characterized by its trianglar shape. It looks like a big onigiri for Japanese.

[ ONIGIRI (Not Asupamu) ]

In addition, Nebuta Festival is famous for its exciting music and graphical objects. Aomori city's Nebuta and Hirosaki city's Neputa are completely different. Natives are proud of each festival; natives of Aomori insist that Nebuta is the best, natives of Hirosaki insist Neputa is the best. So if you disrespect them in front of natives, you will be killed by them :D
