my hometown(kaiki suzuki)


Hello everyone!!
 
How are you?
  
 My hometown is in Yamagata which is located the north of japan. It falls under Tohoku district. It faces towards the sea named the Sea of Japan,”Nihonkai”.
 
 Nihonkai has high waves and is always stormy. The are is of Yamagata 932346km² and the population is 1151685. Yamagata is bordered by Miyagi, Fukusima, Akita, and Nigata Prefecture. The main attraction of this prefecture in the cherry flowers named, benibana, The birds named Osidori.

 

We even produce and sell ice-cream from Benibana because cherries from Yamagata is so famous in Japan. It is so tasty and also it also looks delicious. Yamagata cherry is especially loved by Japanese woman, actually.

 

There are many mountain and rivers in Yamagata.  The temperature faces many fluctuations. The noon and night temperature varies a lot. That is why there are many mountains and basins. Summer is so hot, and winter is so cold.

 

Many festivals are held in japan. Hanagasa festival is the most famous festival of Yamagata. People who participate in this festival perform Hanagasa dance. The festival has been held since taisyo Period (1912~1926).

 

There are drama and movie which are performed in Yamagata. Those are very famous in japan in the world. Do you know the Japanese movie, named ”Osin” and “Okuribito”?

 

Osin has been broadcasted a lot of time  all over the world. Okuribito won an Academy Award  a few years ago. Both of them are very interesting and we can learn a lot from them.

 

If you haven’t watched these programs, please watch them.

 

Please come to Yamagata!
