I went many places during last year.

In January, I went Fukuoka to enjoy hot spring.
We ate Fugu cuisine at Haratsuru hot spring.

In May we went sake breweries in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
After Yamaguchi, we moved Okayama City.
We enjoyed night in Okayama.
Next day we visited Shodoshima by boat.
Soy source factory, Olive field, Olive noodles and so on... there was really great place.
We visited Shodoshima again in August.
Seto Inland Sea was calm and unruffled.
We enjoyed small adventure there.

In November I went Osaka City to join the wedding party.
It has been 20 years since last I visited!
I enjoyed night out in Naniwa area and Minami area.
Then I went Kyoto to eat Kaiseki cuisine next day.

End of November, I went the fourth times of sister "Nonbei Yokocho"
exchange in Kamaishi city in Iwate Prefecture. 
I had a lot of fun reunion with Kamaishi people and seasonal foods.
Sea weed, sea urchin and crabs... it was awesome!
In 2016 Kamaishi Nonbei Yokocho will move into new place from temporary building.
It is a sign of recovery from The Great East Japan Earthquake.

Each trip was very short while.
However I could meet many people, enjoy local foods and feel local atmosphere.
Also this year I am planning many trip to cultivate a better relationship with local people.
