This is probably how I look most of the time outside of 山口市(Yamaguchi City).
Firstly I have to apologize for the lack of any posts lately. I have recently switched host families so I've been a bit of a busy bee.
Anyhow...
Thus continues the continuation of the Silver Week saga.
After walking around and being scared by the ridiculous quantity of Koi fish, we continued onward to the historically significant very old palace-castle thing on the hillside just outside of 津和野
The thatching was especially impressive, being on such steep and large roofs.
This is something like an Asian stereotype, I guess, architecturally.
おはかです。Then we saw a cemetery...
...and also the first signs of Autumn...
...in late September.
Also, I love bamboo.
After looking at the historically significant aforementioned things like bamboo and such, we proceeded to look at an other unique place just outside of Tsuwano.
This structure was seen on the way to the site of the that other unique place, The Memorial Chapel of Mary, located in Otome Pass in Tsuwano. It was built in 1951 on the site of the torture and martyrdom of some 25 Christians during the Meiji Era in Yamaguchi. It's said the the Virgin Mary appeared to Yasutaro, one of the victims, every night during a week of unimaginable torture. And likewise The Chapel at Otome Pass was thus named, as Otome means virgin girl.
Then we saw more bamboo, during the descent from the Chapel at Otome Pass. After which we prepared to depart for Yamaguchi City and return home.
