Today July 23rd is call "Taisho"in old Japanese calendar.
"Taisho"meaning "When beautiful weather continues, and temperature continues being hot."
Well,today was "Taisho"enough in Tokyo.
It was 36 degrees Celsius.
Which is 97 degrees Fahrenheit.
Please becareful of heat!!
Enjoy your summer!!!
Let me introduce my Home town, MATSUMOTO.
It locates in Middle of Nagano Prefecture and takes about 2 and half hours from Shinjyuku station by Bus.
My town is famous for Castle (built 500 years ago), and called "Crow Castle" by its appearance.
If you are burned out of humid hot, crowded Tokyo, go Azumino.
Azumino is famous for beautiful landscape and summer resort because of it cool climate.
Azumino has many clear aqueous streams, and is famous production center of Wasabi ( Japanese horseradish). They even has Wasabi flavor ice cream!!
For Hiking Lover, Recommend to head to Kami-Kouchi: 1hour from Matsumoto station
