     Today, I introduce "Korakuen." Seeing the picture, you know this garden is in front of Okayama castle; I introduced before. That is to say, Korakuen is Okayama castle's garden. And more, Korakuen is one of the three greatest garden in Japan, and the others is Kairakuen in Ibaraki prefecture and Kenrokuen in ishikawa prefecture.       I have been there many time and think this place has unique atmosphere that Japanese tell "wabisabi." If you want to feel such feeling, you should go.

     Today I introduce Bittyu-Matsuyama castle. Bittyu is old name of west Okayama, so the castle is there.       Looking at the picture, you see the castle is on a mountain to prevent enemies from attacking. Because of this location, you can take pictures like this; as if the castle stands on floating island. When I first saw this picture, I remembered "Rapyuta" which appears in the animation movie: "Tenkunoshiro Rapyuta", as floating castle. I like the move, I was interested in it. Now, I want to go and see the sight like this picture by the time I died.  

      There are some castles in Okayama prefecture such as Okayama castle, Bittyu-Matsuyama castle, Kino castle and more. I'll introduce Okayama castle here.      Okayama castle is in Okayama city. Only characteristic of the castle is barrier-free. The castle had been burnt during the war and was rebuilt in 1966. The rebuilt castle was made of reinforced concrete, moreover, an elevator is in it. So elderly people can enjoy safely sight seeing at top of the castle. It is a big advantage and an only advantage.       Concern about the castle is that there isn't elegance ordinary Japanese castles have because of it being made of reinforced concrete. If you want to go to unique castle, I'll recommend Okayama castle.

      I'll introduce my hometown, Okayama. Okayama is between Hiroshima and Hyougo. The population of Okayama prefecture is about 1.9 millions.       Okayama don't have so outstanding characteristics. I think "Momotaro" is an only thing the people who is out of Okayama know about my hometown. If the San-yo Sinkannsen didn't open, Okayama would more cheerless than now.      So, many people don't know well about Okayama. I'm going to introduce Okayama prefecture's sight seeing spots and products to have many people know well Okayama.  

      The day before yesterday, I find a duck in a supermarket. The duck's price became half, so I decided to buy it. duck dish I only know was "kamo soba" which is duck on soba noodles, so I bought soba noodles too. It was very delicious. I want to eat again.       

      Yesterday, one of my bike's tire was fiat.        I bought the bike to go to school about half years ago. Although, I had less opportunities to ride it than my expectation when I bought it. So, I didn't care it and check tires.        For this experience, I'm going to check it every week and pump up tires every month.

     Today I watched Podcast.      It talked about interview. I studied it is natural that we become nervous at interviews.       

  I start to write this blog. I'm Namba Naohiro. I'm from Okayama. I will try to write various topics on the blog.
