AKJ_Ise Shrine


Hi,

The family I recently homestayed with invited me to go with them to Ise Shrine, Mie prefecture, a famous site in Japan...

We had a great time, and my host family even helped my learn the customs for visiting shrines (of which there are quite a few).







Kakigori, a very popular summer food in Japan.
 




The man in the picture above was telling a story using a scroll, which I thought was interesting...

  1. Hi, Is that ice? Does the host have a beer.
    Massive crowd at the festival fireworks.

    1. Hi,

      No, I'm pretty sure it's not beer. The other thing is ice though - Kakigori is best translated as shaved ice - with flavoured syrup added it's very good...
