An izakaya located about a 3-minute walk from Kii-Tanabe Station. ("Izakaya" means "Japanese gastropub")
The tonkatsu sandwich containing plum jam and japanese herb has a refreshing aftertaste but also gives you energy, so it might be a good lunch for a hike.

#Shinto is a Japanese religion that people believe that spiritual power exist in everyday life.
Until the Edo period, 90% of Japanese families welcomed the gods at home.
God dwells in everything, and each god comes to each part of the house, such as the entrance, kitchen, bath, and toilet.

今年の母の日は「芍薬」をもらいました😊とっても綺麗💓
夫と娘に感謝です。
In Japan, we have "Mother's Day" in May and "Father's Day" in June.
A famous flower for Mother's Day is the carnation, but this year my daughter gave me a "Chinese peony."
So beautiful.

The season when carp swim in the sky in Japan is almost over.
In Japan, carp streamers "Koinobori" are displayed from late April to mid-May.
Carp is a symbol of strength and success, and carp streamers were originally a custom of May 5th, Boys' Festival.
