My TOWN

Hi, Everyone!
Today, Let me introduce my town.

I live in japan, Chiba, Yachiyo city.
Google Map:  http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?q=35.705593,140.098&num=1&sll=35.712232,140.098686&sspn=0.104118,0.153637&hl=ja&brcurrent=3,0x6022874e41088d2d:0x1e6977cc71c789f,0&ie=UTF8&ll=35.704635,140.098085&spn=0.052064,0.076818&z=14
 (place "A" is my house.)

Yachiyo is  very near  Tokyo Disney Land & SEA.
But, Yachiyo is a calm town. So, many elderly people live here.

I love a calm place. So I like Temples, Shrines, and Parks.
I would like to show a Shrine.



誉田八幡神社 (Konda Hachiman shrine)

This is the nearest shrine to my house.
I go to here every month. And I visit this shrine on New Year's Day.
It's very old wooden shrine. Maybe, it was built in 1800~ ?


There is old wood...
The oldest wood is 200 years.
It is 銀杏(Icho).
 ( in English is: Ginkgo = maidenhair tree. Ah..It's OK? .I can't find correct English name. XD  sorry...)

Japan has so many Shrines & Temples.
If you visit japan, please see many places.

Thank you!

↓ Here is Icho tree (Ginkgo) at 円光院 (Enkoin).

Welcome to my blog!

Hi,  Everyone! 
I'm Tomo.  I live in Japan.

I want to introduce my hobby. And I want to practice English.
So I made this page.
I can't write English well.
I can't make up compact and clear sentences.
Please overlook my mistake.

Let me introduce my hobby.

It's a peony flower.
( in japanese : BOTAN = 牡丹)
BOTAN(牡丹)

I like this flower.
My hobby is garden plant growing and calligraph.
If you feel interest, it's my pleasure!
