This photo was taken about 35- 40 minutes from where I lived. A group of co- workers wanted to take me to see the fireflies. If you look at this picture closely, doesn’t it oddly look like it came from the movie Spirited Away? Though my co-workers had said there are significantly less fireflies each year, we were able to see some. I thought seeing ONE was cool because I had never seen fireflies in my life!

This picture was taken on a SUPER rainy day in Yokohama. This city is the second largest city in Japan (i’m pretty sure). Located just about an hour outside of Tokyo, you can find places like Chinatown, the Cup Noodle Museum, and other cool things to see. Something interesting about this city is that when I came here with my family, one of my relatives lost her wallet somewhere in this city. In a panic because there was money, passport, ID card, and other important pieces of information she had thought that her belongings were gone forever. BUT, Japan, being the wonderful place that it is, her wallet got turned in to the local police station with EVERYTHING intact. I’m positive she will NEVER forget this city, that day she lost her wallet, nor the people who helped us every step of the way.

This picture is that of the name of the new Japanese era, Reiwa. Each time there is a new emperor in Japan, the name of the era changes. This photo was taken at one of the festivals in my town. As you can see, the lanterns are extravagant and large. What do you think of them?
