My hometown


  I wrote the last time, my hometown is Maizuru(Kyoto prefecture).  When the self-introduction, I said "my hometown is Kyoto prefecture".  At that time, everyone said "Kyoto prefecture is a big city and far away from Shimane prefecture".  Certainly, Kyoto city is a big city but others city isn't so big and also concludes Maizuru.  In fact, Kyoto prefecture consist of the only city of Kyoto.  Also, from Shimane to Kyoto prefecture is very far away distance  about 400~500km.  When I came by train in Shimane prefecture, It took about 8~12hours. I was very tired this time but I must experience this condition when I will go home.
  Story I've swerve, Maizuru has many of natural  and where is surrounded forests.  And there are two of sightseeing spots.  First, red brick warehouse group is built.  If you see these buildings, you are going to feel that in the old days back in time.  Also, you can enter some of the buildings, you can lean history of these buildings and Maizuru city.  In Japan, Yokohama city(Kanagawa prefecture) and Otaru city(Hokkaido prefecture) also build these buildings but Maizuru is the best!  In this place, filming of the drama and film often have been performed so I have ever seen actor for example, Ishizaka Koji, Watari Tetsuya.  Do you know them?  They are actor big shot.
  Second, there is a repatriation memorial.  This building teach us that "how horrible war" and "how do solders withdraw from Korean peninsula, Manchuria(China)".  Maizuru is the place where solders withdraw.  In this place, there is still left of pier(at the time of withdrawal) and It is called "salvage pier".  Near the building, there are mountains.  Climb mountains, you can see landscape of the Maizuru bay.  This landscape is very beautiful and makes you impress.
  Last, if you visited to Kyoto city, plese come to Maizuru city incidentally.

  1. I didn't know it takes really long time from shimane to Kyoto. Seems like there's many interesting places in Maizuru city. I would like to visit there someday.

  2. Maizuru city sounds very interesting! I think it is very cool that you were able to see some famous drama actors. If I have the chance to visit Kyoto again, I will try to go to Maizuru too!

  4. My sympathy for your long way home! My family lives in Edmonton in Alberta, that is around 1200km away from Vancouver. When I want to go home, I either take the plane (1.5hrs), the bus (30hrs) or I drive 2 days by car. :O
