Watanabe Diary

Toka festival was held at the Itsukushima shrine and the traditional Japanese court dancing are performed all day. It's been performed since late 12th centry. If you happen to be here in autumn, next chance you can see it will be October 15th. Please enjoy the magical music.

A fire festival is held at the Daisho-in temple. My children and I walked barefoot on the ashes.

Fresh seaweeds from the Setouchi sea. Please enjoy the seaweed with udon/soba noodle at out restaurant 1st floor. You have a wonderful view!

Cheery blossoms are gone and fresh greens are now taking their place.

Please enjoy our special "Anago Sushi Roll" and "Japanese style omlet" at the restaurant 1st floor with wonderful view!

A small concert was held at the Daisho in temple last night. We were celebrating girl's festival and wishing

world peace together.
