Hirosaki City (Aomori, Japan)


Hirosaki City is Japan's largest producer of apples. You can enjoy delicious apple pie and apple cider at every corner of the city. They even have Apple Onsen (hot spa with numerous apples floating in the bath)!!

National Ekiben Day :))

明日、4月10日は駅弁の日らしいです。
National Ekiben Day :))
Ekiben, the Japanese box lunch available at major train stations, features regional delicacies and traditional cuisine from each stop across the country. It is eaten during train journeys and is very popular among Japanese people. This on-the-move food entertains you with its beautifully arranged dishes and is often served in an eye-catching container. There are over 5,000 kinds of Ekiben sold nationwide, so it takes more than 13 years to eat all kinds if you have one of each everyday. Woo!

Map of Yokohama

祖父母の住む町、横浜。港のしうまい王国は、悔しいけれどやっぱりオシャレです。
My grandparents live in Yokohama. When I was little, my grandpa, who is crazy about baseball, used to take me to the stadium to watch baseball games, while my grandma would take me to China Town and we enjoy yummy Yum cha for lunch! This lovely port city always brings back memories of my childhood. Nowadays Yokohama is becoming more and more modern with new skyscrapers, cool diners, gorgeous shopping malls and so on. They even have unique museums, such as the Cup Noodle museum and Ramen museum. How fun! There is so much to see here!
