Obama City, Fukui Prefecture
Every year, Shinguji Temple in Wakasa-Obama religiously ‘sends water’
to Nigatsudo Temple in Nara as a time-honor gesture of camaraderie.
The torch-lit procession featured in this ritual and the alter
where the torches are lit are breathtaking.
This film introduces you to the historical townscape of Kumagawa
that long ago served as a layover point for merchants transporting
marine products from Wakasa to Kyoto along the Sabakaido.

Welcome to Obama City ★ ONLY in JAPAN
This place is for real! A city in Japan called Obama. They must have named it after the former president, right?
Well ...
Republicans can sigh a breath of relief as this Obama was here first. Obama City, Japan's history goes back centuries and the coincidence of phonetically having the same name as Barack Obama's last name is what makes the city stand out internationally. Oh, in case you're wondering, in Japanese, Obama actually means Small Beach.
Like any town with such a unique coincidence, the city embraced it and made a strong bond with the Senator then President.
It started when Senator Obama landed in Japan and the immigration officer told him he was from Obama!
But take a step back from the last 10 years and you'll find another kind of city.
Obama City is located in Fukui Prefecture, about 70km from Kyoto on the Sea of Japan. It was the Gateway to Japan for centuries before the Edo period because it was the closest link to Kyoto from the Sea. The route used was called MACKEREL ROAD because SABA (Mackerel) was the most traded fish, delivered to Kyoto endlessly along with loads of other goods to and from the imperial city.
▶︎ WHERE IS OBAMA?
▶︎ WHAT CAN YOU DO IN OBAMA?
Well, eat!
Obama Fish Market is friendly and has an amazing teishoku restaurant that opens early.
It's also famous for lacquerware (luxury chopsticks, boxes) and it's hundreds of temples and shrines in the mountains.
There are also boat tours cruising along the picturesque coast.
If you want to visit the President Barack Obama Library / Museum of sort, head to the lobby of the Hotel Sekumiya between JR Obama Station and the sea.
Political note: The Trump Obama debate is not something I cover in this episode nor Democrats vs Republicans. I have no personal opinion in this episode and actually tease the situation :)
If there were a Trump city, I'd cover that too but phonetically Obama O-BA-MA works well in Japanese and is also a last name in Japan.
Japan is looking forward to President Donald Trump's visit in November just like they would any strong ally and he'll have a warm welcome just like former President Obama did when he visited. I do recommend President Trump visit Obama City. The hotel I stayed in is no Trump Tower but it was good enough for the US Ambassador John Roos.

Fukui Pref. Press Tour: The host of 2010 Japan APEC Energy Ministerial Meeting
4-5 March, 2010 【Fukui Pref. Press Tour: The host of 2010 Japan APEC Energy Ministerial Meeting】
This June, Fukui Prefecture will be hosting the 2010 Japan APEC Energy Ministerial Meeting, which the energy ministers from 21 countries and regions, mainly from Asia Pacific, will be gathering to discuss global warming issues and energy conservation measures. In order to cover the prefectural approach to centralization of energy R&D/human resources in Asia, 14 journalists from the U.K., Taiwan, Germany, Vietnam, Korea, China, Bangladesh, France, Italy, and the UAE took part in the press tour.
The participating journalists visited the prefectural energy R&D hub, Wakasa Wan Energy Research Center, and Monju, the prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR), which is now set for restart after a gap of 15 years. They also heard from Governor Issei Nishikawa about the Energy R&D Centralization Plan as well as the prefectural industry, food and other items.
On the second day, the group of journalists learned about Japanese candles by visiting the historical Japanese candle maker, Kodaikokuya, which started business in the center of Fukui City in 1865. Mr. Ryuichiro Otsu, the executive director and seventh generation of Kodaikokuya, explained his attempts to make new-style Japanese candles while preserving the identity of tradition, and he gave the journalists a guided factory tour. At the Ichijodani Asakura Clan Ruins, which are the ruins of the castle town of the 16th century, the journalists heard about the excavation research which started in 1967 and its history. The journalists also enjoyed the local traditional dishes called Asakura Zen which was served by the group of local housewives who are trying to preserve the traditional recipe.
At the end of the tour they made quick visits to Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum, the leading-edge of dinosaur research in East Asia, and Maruoka Castle, which is famous as the oldest standing castle in Japan.
*Fukui Prefecture, the host, and the Foreign Press Center, Japan co-organized this press tour.

Swan St.James's Park
Facing Wakasa Bay due north of Kyoto and Nara, the city is about four to five hours by train from Tokyo, and is served by the Obama Line of West Japan Railway (JR West).
Najwyższe wzniesienie znajduje się w Bytkowie 320 m n.p.m., a najniższe punkty Siemianowic leżą na terenie dawnych Sadzawek oraz w dolinie Brynicy najniższy punkt wysokości 260 m n.p.m.[potrzebne źródło] W topografii Siemianowic znaczna rolę odgrywają obok form naturalnych także formy będące rezultatem działalności człowieka.
Są to hałdy, zwałowiska skały płonnej. Istnieją również zagłębienia powierzchni będące rezultatem: eksploatacji piasku i węgla.
Pod względem geologicznym Siemianowice położone są w Górnośląskim Zagłębiu Węglowym obejmującym cały Górnośląski Okręg Przemysłowy oraz Rybnicki Okręg Węglowy.
Siemianowice graniczą z: Katowicami, Chorzowem, Czeladzią, Piekarami Śląskimi, Będzinem i Wojkowicami.
Swan is the common gender term, but cob for a male and pen for a female are also used, as is cygnet for the young.[1] Collective nouns include a bank (on the ground) and a wedge (in flight).[2] Black Swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands.
A recent (2007) exhibition at the University of Oslo Natural History Museum in Norway called Against Nature? explored homosexual behaviours in a number of species, including black swans.
Several swan species exhibit lifelong homosocial behaviours, and the same phenomenon can also be found in a number of other water-birds, notably geese and flamingos, where it serves as a flexible life strategy.
A same-sex lifestyle will be advantageous in some situations, but not in others. However, having a partner is a requisite for building a nest and keeping a territory, and an opposite-sex partner may not always be available when forming pairs. Thus, the ability to form a male pair is a normal part of the black swans social behaviour and an example of a flexible life strategy in the
