Festivals around Japan - nationwide by Rukiya

My holiday report - Rukiya

Dear Jim,

Tempura soba

I ate soba at a restaurant in Matsumoto in the Golden Week. It was around 11 a.m. but the restaurant was crowded. We went by car.

It was cold because it was on a high mountain.

There was tempura, not only soba. The food was very good.

Rukiya's quick guide to Japan

• This is the Tokyo Sky Tree. It is the tallest tower in Japan. It is new.
• This is the Japan Hayabusa E5. It is the fastest bullet train in Japan. It is new.
• This is a Japanese Black Bear. They live in the forest. They eat fish and small animals and honey. They are bigger than me. They have thick black fur and long claws.

The sweetest voices singing a thank you tune!

I absolutely love the singing in this little photo! I am very biased, but it's a heart-melter :) Can't think of a better way to finish off the week!
