One of my favorite things about this country is the fact that the culture is so rich. There are so many aspects of Japanese culture that are still so prevalent in people’s daily lives. This picture was taken at my school’s club activity, tea ceremony club. As you can see here the girls are wearing yukatas (summer time kimono) and seated on their knees. All yukatas have a lot of vibrant colors, perfect for summer time. I really enjoyed going to tea ceremony club because it taught me a lot about the meaning behind the ceremony, and because I looooove matcha!!

This photo was taken at a fish market in Hokkaido, Japan. The northern most prefecture in Japan. Something that amazed me about this fish market was all of the amazing crab they had. Hokkaido is known for crab, and as you can clearly see, it looks delicious. Hokkaido is another one of my favorite places to visit in Japan. It has a very different “feel” than other cities. Due to Hokkaido being such an ample place for fishing, this prefecture is able to catch a lot of seafood.
