Congratulations to Fenny san who has leveled up to Daimyo! @Fenny Kirmil Daimyo rule provinces of Japan and Fenny san has chosen Iga province as her domain. Iga is the home of Akame 48 falls. I was lucky enough to visit Iga. In Iga there is a beautiful castle called the Iga Ueno castle and Iga was home of a clan of ninja and I visited the Ninja museum and live show. It was very interesting! Sorry, I can't tell you any more about it. 🥷🥷 Well done, Fenny san. May your reign as Daimyo be prosperous!!!

Hi all, fun little game I used to play back in Japanese high school made fun and easy for us learners here. If you can avoid using Chat GPT etc, try to figure out these little puzzles. 1.あいめいくはにい. What am I? 2. あいせいみあおみあお. what am I? 3. あいぐらんとういしえず. what am I? #3 is a bit extra hard. Good luck!!
