The room is full of Japanese-style tatami, but the comfort is that one is a very original feeling and can fully feel the local culture. The bedroom inside is a modern sofa and bed, so everyone will adapt. Open the window, the outside is the river view, very bright. A simple stroll around the area to enjoy a big meal! Once again, feel the VIP-like Japanese service: every time the restaurant service staff enters and exits the tatami, they must sit down at the door and open the door. After entering, they will sit down and drink and pull the door again. Take a salute. We learned that we are far-away guests, greetings from the manager to the chef, and have to put down the chopsticks frequently, courtesy and sincerity. ate a Grand Slam, the light pot was three rounds (hot pot tempura barbecue), as well as a variety of pickles and sashimi. The most impressive thing is the muscle barbecue (similar to horse meat lava burning, invincible), and the salted fish, how to freely bone: pull out the fins, from the square side, gently pressed already baked The soft fish body separates the meat bones inside, then pinches the fish head and gently removes the spine, which can be easily enjoyed.

The name of the train comes from two species of kingfishers in Japan: "Jade" and "Mountain Jade". The former is brightly colored like jade, perennial in the forests of Yatsushiro City and the ball mill village; the latter is black and white wearing deer spots, living in the mountains of Renji. Once, it was very difficult to go back and forth between the ball-milling river and the Renji Basin surrounded by mountains. Today, in order to commemorate the freely moving trains between the two places, the train is named after the two-color kingfisher. The body also naturally has a gorgeous two-color compartment: green and blue echo. The car has a lot of details, it is worthy of taste, the wine cabinet is full of local famous wine; and it is even more chic cone-shaped, with a small hole, without a finger block will leak. Means: will enter the wine, the cup does not stop, do not put down (will sprinkle); do not stop the cup (always pinched in the hand).

This station appeared in the eighth quarter of the second season. This stay at Renji Homestay Sen , there are four different styles of rooms, all very spacious. Thanks to the owner of the hotel to take us to several attractions, and start the cat teacher back to her family series. The Qingshan bus stop appeared in the first quarter of the film. A friend's account was placed in the small station, which is a message book~ appeared in the seventh quarter of the first season. It is the only station in Japan with a special railway landscape such as a spiral and a zigzag. Legend has it that sticking a business card to the wall of the waiting room will make a head start, so there are many business cards on the wall.

In the Japanese Kyrgyzstan station is also the location of the Natsume friend account, the train from the people to Aso changed into a slightly faster train, I did not expect the interior is still amazed. The iron train is not dirty, but it is a clean and tidy display, as well as a drink bar and a sofa~ Its not enough to describe my love for this train. All interiors in are made of yellow wood, and the yellow background is covered with a blue seat. The contrast between cool and warm colors makes people feel very comfortable. If you think the metal train is dirty, you must come here, it will change all your thoughts on the iron train.

Understanding Japanese shrines, we must start to understand from Shinto in Japan. Shintoism belongs to the Japanese native religion. It originates from shamanism and is actually the result of animism. The shrine is the office of the Shinto staff. The Japanese Shinto staff were born with clan heroes, dead ancestors, nature's flora and fauna, and some fierce gods. At the Japanese University, there is a professional system similar to Japanese mythology and Japanese monsters. Inari Shrine should be the most shrine in Japan, and the main jurisdiction is the closest to the lives of ordinary people. In Japan, there are more than 30,000 Inari Shrines in the country. Fushimi Inari Taisha is the headquarters of the headquarters. This concept of shrine regulation is very similar to that of government and institutions, such as headquarters and branches.

The Arai Shrine is one of the only shrines designated as national treasures among all thatched roof shrines in Japan. In the architectural style, the Taoshan format is adopted, and the decoration is colorful and diverse. With more than 400 years of history, it is still the location for healing the anime "Natsume Friends". Unrecognized as a national treasure, standing here, the heart can not help but piously, the gods enter a pair of men and women who take wedding photos, looks like a comic scene! Qingjing Aso Shrine: It is about 4 minutes walk from Exit 2 of Kawasaki Onsen Exit 2, Kami-Higashi-machi, Kumamoto-shi. z

Renji is the famous hot spring town of Kyushu, which is quieter than other places. Whether you are alone in the drizzle, or in the hot springs, looking up at the stars, you are completely relaxed and empty in the silence. The train stopped at Renji, and few people in the car came down. After a few seconds, they disappeared. Renji Station, like this small town, feels the same: simple, elegant. The ball mill river passes through the small town, the grass grows long and the egret flies. The city of Renji seems to be too quiet, and there is no one in the ancient city site except me. Everything in the original has already become a fragment. Only the blessings that sway in the wind, the red leaves left in the autumn, the stones with moss, tell me the story once here. It is beautiful to stand on the wall and overlook the people. There is no small city full of bustling crowds, you can quietly experience the beauty of elegance.

I didn't expect to have a chance to watch the Totoro in the cinema. I went to see it on the first day of the show. I visited the Kyrgyzstan city of Kumamoto in Kyushu, Japan a few years ago. The owner and driver and the tour guide once pointed to one place. The Totoro's forest, this time I watched the movie, the farmland, the towering trees and the mountains in the distance, it is quite like! There is also a shrine nearby, but it has also appeared in another cartoon. It is not spoiled here. Although very familiar with the Totoro's soundtrack, this is the first time to watch the Totoro's movie. The film of a few decades ago seems to be out of date, perhaps the innocence and pureness is the secret to keep youth forever. Whether it is a stupid chinchillas, family and friendship, it is unforgettable. Just thinking that when I grow up, I may never see the Totoro anymore, a little regrettable. In the days when I lived in Renji City, it seems that the whole life has slowed down. There are no shops and restaurants, and there are few convenience stores, but I dont feel any inconvenience. If there is a forest where the Totoro lives, maybe it is here~

If you want to experience the stimulating rafting of Kumamoto Kumamoto, you can stay at the Japanese hot spring hotel and taste the beautiful banquet dishes. The hotel staff gave me a special gift, a pair of unicorns. Very big and very cute, they said that Japanese elementary school students will have a pair of such little ones every summer. Of course I know that I can't bring them back to China, and I can't live without customs. Therefore, on the high speed boat in Yakushima, I gave it to a Japanese elementary school student, and asked him to raise them. The overall design of the room is very "smooth", the logs are matched with the lights, and the atmosphere is calm and indifferent. The overall space pays attention to the function while emphasizing the sensory experience of color, material, size, detail and accessories. It has a kind of temperament that is far away from the world and simple.

There is no Women's Day in Japan, but there is a daughter's day on the 3rd. From this day on, there will be a family of daughters who will put on delicate dolls and pray for the healthy growth of their daughters. The picture is a street in Manji Toyae-cho, a street with a lot of Japanese characteristics. Every year there are people's festivals, and many shops have people. Come on, let's go check it out.
