Tondo Festival in Hiroshima
About 2 weeks after New year, dramatic bonfire festivals are held at shrines all across Japan. The previous year's ceremonial arrows and lucky charms are
burnt and people pray for good fortune in the year to come. These festivals are known as "Tondo Matsuri". Here in Hiroshima, you can experience it at Gokoku shrine where Hiroshima castle is at.
You can hear the snap, crackle, pop of the
bamboo! It's spectacular that flames rising above the rooftops. Everyone gathered in a circle around the fire to watch, snapping photos, eating grilled mochi(rice cake) grilled with the fire, and praying for good luck for the year.
DATE & TIME: January 15th 2018 from 10am.

Chinksai Festival in Miyajima
Konnichiwa from Hiroshima Hanahostel. It's Kana here.
I just can NOT believe that year 2018 will arrive in few weeks.
I feel like I'm losing my memory for last half year. I can't believe how time goes by so fast.
How was your year 2017? I hope all of you had great one so far.
If you have any opportunity to visit Japan for new year eve, here is my little tips.
We have great world heritage "MIYAJIMA" in Hiroshima. They hold great traditional festival on new year eve. It called "Chinksai"
They set up an altar lighting the fire at the shrine refinement and after the ceremony was completed by the master, trasfer the fire to the torch and transfer to the large bunch of the pine tree set up at the Mikasanohama beach.
and they will put a fire on a large torch from a big bow.
Meanwhile townspeople of Miyajima make torches of various sizes from large pine tree with 20 to 30 people to carry and about 50cm and gather at Mikasanohama beach in the evening.
After turn off the fire and take out the extinguished pieces of pine tree ,and take it home and give it to the godshelf and make it a one year fire avoidance amulet.
Why don't you join them and have some special Japanese traditional culture!!
Only for once a year on New year eve!

After the fire burns down and only red coals remain, the head Buddhist monk, followed by the mountain monks and worshipers, walk barefoot across the coals chanting a prayer for good health and fortune.

Mt Fuji by Hokusai Exhibition
Mt Fuji by Hokusai Exhibition
Fine Wind, Clear Morning, also known as Red Fuji, and the Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai Katsushika (1760-1849) are two of Japan’s most iconic artworks. Both are part of Hokusai’s 36 Views of Mt.Fuji series which the artist embarked upon at the age of 70 and at the height of his powers. The series proved so popular that there ended up being 46 views to satisfy demand. Hokusai followed this series with a more affordable monochrome collection, One Hundred Views of Mt.Fuji in which he incorporated narrative stories into his prints.
This exhibition shows 159 works related to these two great serial masterpieces and is sure to be a huge hit, a perfect dose of Japanese culture to start off the New Year.

2013,Feb 8th-9th Miyajima Oysters Festival!!!
In the second weekend in February Oysters, Miyajima's specialty, are served at low prices.
Date: 2013,Feb 8th-9th
Location: In front of the Miyajima pier.
Miyajima’s oyster festival is held every year, over two days on the second weekend in February. To be honest, the prospect of getting up early to line up in the cold for oysters at a few hundred yen less than at a warm restaurant was, unsurprisingly, never that appealing. An unseasonably sunny and warm February Sunday certainly helped us get out of the door.
It is the best season for Oysters on February!!
Why don't you come and visit Hiroshima and Miyajima on February!!!
