Sadly, as long as I'm in Europe, I have to take a day off or wait for retirement to join your classes. But I will gladly join you at the next possible opportunity, Coach. 😉

Okinawa, Japan

I’ve been to Okinawa twice and spent over two months there. However, compared to other parts of Japan, Okinawa isn’t my favorite because it’s the least “Japanese” part of the country. If you’re still there, I highly recommend visiting Shuri Castle. I was there in the summer of 2019, before the castle burned down in the fall of that same year, and then again in 2023, while it was still undergoing restoration.

@Ryo Takayama So we were both really lucky to have seen it before it burned down. I saw it while it was being rebuilt, and I hope to see it again once it’s completely restored. 🫠 I’m looking forward to seeing your photos.

Wow, that was just fantastic 🤩 I like your version much better than the original @Clive Burton Now I know why she kept waking up every few minutes—to hear it over and over again 😊

@Taisei Koshida Really?! 😳 I can't believe my eyes! @Country Hajime "What a serene and majestic place! Even the sacred deer don’t seem entirely used to humans." WHAT?! Last year, I visited the same places, which were crowded with noisy tourists from all over the world. Well, the early bird catches the worm. 🫠 Those deer attacked people to force to feed them—they’re so used to being fed by people that if you hold the food for too long, they won’t wait patiently. I came back from there with a pretty big bruise on my thigh. 😂 Hmm, they probably figured Taisei is stingy, so they wouldn't get anything from him, and just walked away. 😉

Mascot Mania
It’s Nara Prefecture’s mascot character, Sento-kun. To me, he’s more like something out of a horror movie. Several years ago in Japan, local governments all over the country were scrambling to create their own mascots, known as yuru-chara. “Yuru” has this kind of laid-back, cute, heartwarming feel to it. But I think Sento-kun went in a slightly different direction. The ones in the photo are some of the most famous and popular yuru-chara in Japan.

In my opinion, this mascot perfectly captures the image of Nara—the Great Daibutsu and the Kingdom of Deer
