Japan Trip Traditional Arts, Hagiyaki Pottery at the Yoshika Taibi Memorial Museum in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
[014] Yamaguchi Hagi Yoshika Taibi Memorial Museum
Hagiyaki Pottery (萩焼) is among best pottery throughout Japan. In the early 1600s, this skill was brought to Japan from Korea. Hagiyaki Pottery was highly regarded for tea wares and was particularly popular in the Edo Period (1603 to 1867).
Often used in tea ceremony, the tea residuals cause the Hagiyaki Pottery to change colors. Tea enthusiasts were delighted of this changing color aspect. Even now Hagiyaki is higly regarded. Many stores in Hagi sell Hagiyaki tea wares, cups and bowls.
Located in the outskirts of the city, the Yoshika Taibi Memorial Museum features a large collection of valuable Hagiyaki Pottery. In addition, ceramic pieces and paintings done by the museum’s namesake artist/potter are displayed. Visitors have a chance to observe the Hagiyaki process in the workshop in front of the museum. Also, there is a store in front of the visitors where Hagiyaki wares are sold.

Japan Travel: Mount Kasayama Smallest volcano in the East See Hagi, Yamaguchi23 Moopon
Mount Kasayama Smallest volcano in the East See! View of Japan Sea on the hilltop Hagi, Yamaguchi, Japan Tips of Japan Travel 23 Moopon
Mount Kasayama (笠山) is a short mountain of height 112 meters, situated on a peninsula about six kilometers north of Hagi's city center. At its summit is a small crater of that measures just 30 meters in diameter and depth, which visitors can descend into via a flight of stairs or circle around via a short path. There is also an observation deck which affords good views over the Sea of Japan.
Camellia gregarious forest
In Toragasaki located the top of the Kasayama, there is a gregarious forest of 25,000 camellias. Many people come to see it when it is in their glory- between the end of February and the end of March.
At the foot of Mount Kasayama lies Myojinike Pond, which offers the setting for a nice stroll. In the woods near the pond are the Kazaana Holes, openings in the rocky forest floor, from which cool air constantly blows. This phenomenon is the result of the evaporation of sea and rain water which had penetrated the rocky surface, whereby lowering the temperature of the surrounding air. This natural air conditioner is especially popular during the hot summers, and meals and drinks are served around the holes (10:00 to 16:00, except Wednesdays).
By Bus
Mount Kasayama is located about six kilometers north of Hagi's city center.
Take a bus bound for Koshigahama (越ヶ浜) from Hagi Bus Center or Higashi-Hagi Station to its terminal stop Koshigahama which is just a few steps away from Myojinike Pond. The one way ride from the bus center takes 20 minutes (300 yen). There are buses every 1-2 hours. Walking from the pond up to Kasayama's summit takes about 30 minutes.
How to go Myojinike Pond
Myojinike Pond can be reached from the city center in about 15 minutes by car or in about 30-45 minutes by bicycle. A taxi ride from Higashi-Hagi Station will cost around 1800 yen. To the summit around 2200 yen.

The first lord and odd numbered successors are laid to rest at Daishoin Temple. Visitors are greeted by the hundreds of stone lanterns (donated) which line the pathway to the graveyard. Led by the light from the stone lanterns and being surrounded by the woods, the atmosphere at the burial site is both peaceful and spiritual.
NOTE: There is construction being done to renovate the main hall of Daishoin Temple. Renovation works are expected to continue until 2015. Visitors are still allowed in the temple and can observe the main hall from a makeshift corridor which surrounds the site.

Kinryu Falls [Otake, Hiroshima Prefecture] 錦龍公園（きんりゅうこうえん）
Only a short drive from Kuba Station you will find a great park located in Otake City, Hiroshima Prefecture. This park known as Kinryu Koen or 錦竜公園 is located in the mountains of Otake and can be a great place to enjoy some outdoor fun!
Access to the park itself is relatively easy to access if you have a small vehicle, however larger vehicles may struggle on the narrow roads leading through the mountains towards the small parking area [34.253450, 132.210484].
Although there is very limited space you can park along the side of the road in the gravel/grassy area to the left. Once parked you can begin your adventure. You are likely to notice a sign, which is rather worn, and two main paths. One path leads to the left and the other leads towards the right where you will also see a bright red bridge. If your goal is to find this waterfall continue towards the red bridge on the right.
Follow the path until you find the waterfall [34.257604, 132.210637]. Just before the waterfall you will see a sign that points up a path to the right (it is rather steep and you can't miss it) as well as a path that that leads towards the water. Continue to wards the water if you would like to experience the falls.
Although the path to this location is described as well paved it is really only so for the first 3/4 of the journey. Past that location the path becomes rocky and much more difficult. THIS IS NOT A STROLLER FRIENDLY LOCATION. This is also not a location good for children to walk freely as there are steep drop-offs offering no protection for wandering children.
Although this is a park you will not find the comforts of a standard park in this area. There are no toilets. There are no vending machines. It is highly recommended that you bring your own water and anything else you may need for a short hike.
The waterfall is also rather popular and therefore you can find a great deal of children playing and adults soaking up the sun. This is not a quiet location.

Japan Trip Historic Obaku Sect Temple, Tokoji Temple, Hagi ,Yamaguchi 11 Moopon Edo Period
Japan Trip Historic Obaku Sect Temple, Tokoji Temple, Hagi, Yamaguchi11 Moopon
Tokoji Temple (東光寺) is located in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Visitors can find its magnificent wooden temple buildings within the forest located east of downtown Hagi. It was founded in 1691and belongs to the Obaku school of Japanese Zen Buddhism.
Most temples of the Obaku sect display an architectural style that has more Chinese features than that of the average Japanese temple. Tokoji Temple is no different. Visitors will notice this right away upon entering the temple through its Chinese style, red entrance gate. Visitors will pass under an even larger wooden gate, the Sanmon Gate, and an old bell tower on their way to the main hall. Further evidence of Chinese Zen architecture style is evident in the Tokoji’s main hall which houses a statue of the historic Buddha (Shaka Nyorai).
An impressive graveyard can be seen behind the temple buildings. Here lies the graveyard of half of the Mori daimyo (feudal lords). The Mori daimyo governed Hagi during the Edo Period (1603-1868). The odd numbered successors of the Mori lords were buried here at Tokoji Temple and the first and even numbered lords were buried at Daishoin Temple. With Tokoji Temple being located in the woods, the atmosphere is quite tranquil and serene.
Access Information:
Tokoji Temple is located about two kilometers southeast of Higashi-Hagi Station.
**By bicycle: about 10-15 minutes (slightly uphill)
**On foot: about 30 minutes.
**By Bus: from Higashi-Hagi and Hagi Stations please take Maru Bus East Loop

Japanese Castle - Takatori
Takatori castle ruins, has the prestigious title of one of three highest mountain castles in Japan. The original castle was built in 1332 by Ochi Kunizumi and underwent several rebuilds and owners including Honda Tarozaemon from 1584 - 1640, before finally resting with the Uemura clan until the meiji restoration when the castle was finally pulled down. The grounds of the castle are enormous, including 27 yagura and seven wells, I only managed to see two of these. While none of the original buildings remain, a considerable amount of stonework does. Jcastles site has further information about the castle and a link to Nara Sangyo University that have developed a graphical reconstruction of the castle.

Exploring Kumamoto and Shimonoseki, Japan - Day 6 & 7 Ovation of the Seas
After our day exploring Nagasaki, our next port of call was Kumamoto which we organised a tour to see the sights. We found we were docked over an hour away and found a group tour was the most efficient way to see the top spots.
Booking with an outside company to the ship, we managed to get an excellent rate and a local guide and I was never in any doubt we wouldn't get back in time for the ship.
We saw Kumamoto castle which was affected by the earthquakes in the area 2 years ago but it was still incredible before going on to sample local delicacies and entertainment. Our final stop was Suizenji gardens which took over 80 years to landscape!
The following day saw a first for Royal Caribbean as they docked in Shimonoseki - home to the puffer fish - for the very first time.
We wandered round a fish market, saw a fantastic aquarium and climbed many steps to see over the harbour and take in a local shrine.
Our next 2 days are at sea so stay tuned for some fun rollerskating, rock climbing and more of the flowrider.
Music is not my own.
Japan Trip: Omori Town: enjoy the Japanese old cultural atmosphere Ōda, Shimane01 Moopon
Japan Trip: Omori Town: enjoy the Japanese old cultural atmosphere Ōda, Shimane01 Moopon
Omori Town is a one and a half kilometer long stretch of houses, shops, temples, and shrines that runs along the river valley to the north of the mines. It used to house magistrates, merchants, and craftsmen who benefited from the nearby mines.
It also has a world cultural heritage site; the Iwami Ginzan.
Today there are many historical sites interspersed among the homes of the town's current residents. Among them are the Former Government Office which has been restored as the Iwami Ginzan Museum, and numerous historical residences.
The largest and most spectacular of these is the Kumagai Family Residence near the Tourist Center in the north of town. Once the home of the leading merchant and town official, it has been restored to be an excellent example of a period household.
Some of the shrines and temples in the area are particularly interesting. Kigami Shrine at the north end of town has a dragon painting on its ceiling that echoes like the roar of the dragon when you clap your hands under it. Shogenji Temple looks fairly ordinary from the outside but inside houses a beautifully painted main hall and altar, and also has a small museum.
Gohyakurakan are 500 stone statues of Buddha's disciples housed in a series of man-made caves. Their postures and facial expressions run the entire gamut of emotions and are very interesting to see.
The central bus stop, Omori Daikansho (Omori Former Government Office), is served by all buses, providing connections along Omori Town and to the parking lot at the Sekaiisan Center (every 15 minutes), to Oda-shi Station (1-2 buses per hour), Nima Station (about 5 buses per day) and Hiroshima (2 buses per day).
Omori Town can also be reached on foot from the parking lot: It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk to the town's southern end around the Gohyakurakan via a nature trail shortcut and an additional 15-20 minutes (without stops) to reach the town's northern end around the Former Government Office.

Japan Travel: Usuki Samurai District, Castle Ruins Historical Road, Oita
【★036★Oita Usuki Samurai District】

Usuki's samurai district is located at its city center, and parts of it keep the flavor of an old castle town with their stone paved alleys lined by premodern looking houses.
The main attraction is the Nioza Historical Road, a 200 meter photogenic narrow alleyway which runs along temples and residences built in Edo Period style architecture, making a feeling of the past. Parallel to it runs the Haccho Oji Shopping Street, a merchant street with a neighborhood atmosphere, lined by shops selling local specialties, groceries and etc. Walking westwards for about five minutes brings you to Ryugenji, with nice three-storied pagoda.
The Ruins of Usuki Castle
It is located on the eastern side of the district. Currently a neighborhood park is located on the former castle grounds. Unfortunately, most of the castle buildings including the main keep have been destroyed over the years, and today the only prominent structures remaining are a turret and a gate standing along the park's entrance.

“Inujima”, a small island floating on Seto Inland Sea with Art Works Okayama,Japan 01 Moopon
Inujima (犬島, literally: dog island) is a small island off Okayama in the Seto Inland Sea that is named after a large rock resembling a sitting dog. Like nearby Naoshima Island, Inujima has become known as a site for modern art in recent years and serves as a venue of the Setouchi Triennale modern art festival. Due to its small size, the peaceful island can be explored entirely on foot.
Before turning to modern art, Inujima was mostly an industrial site. During the feudal age it produced granite blocks for castle construction, and in the early 20th century a copper refinery was supposed to bring prosperity and people to the island. However, copper prices plummeted within ten years of the refinery's opening and led to its premature closure and a drop in the island's population.
The refinery was not demolished after its closure, and despite being out of business for almost a century, its ruins still characterize Inujima's landscape. Designated as a heritage of industrial modernization, the ruins with their exposed brick walls, overgrown power plant and crumbling smokestacks can now be explored by tourists.
In 2008, the refinery ruins were converted into the Inujima Seirensho Art Museum (seirensho is Japanese for refinery) by tastefully incorporating an art gallery into the ruins. The gallery is located mostly underground and uses local materials such as granite and discarded bricks from the refinery. Among the small number of artworks on display are an intriguing tunnel of mirrors and a tribute to the late novelist Mishima Yukio, which consists of pieces of Mishima's former residence suspended in midair.
Admission tickets to the art museum are purchased at a Inujima Ticket Center next to the ferry terminal, a 200 meter walk from the refinery's gates. While in the past it was necessary to make advance reservations for a guided tour of the site, it is now possible to explore it on an individual basis without prior appointment.
The rest of Inujima is occupied by a small rural village, which is home to about one hundred people. Scattered across the small, peaceful village are the five galleries of the Inujima Art House Project which were built for the art festivals in 2010 and 2013 and have become permanent attractions on the island. They can all be explored in a pleasant 1-2 hour walk through the narrow lanes of the village.
Dining, shopping and lodging options are highly limited on the island. A couple of small restaurants are found in the proximity of the port, including a cafe inside the Inujima Ticket Center. The Seirensho Art Museum also has a cafe on its grounds, but outside of summer it is sometimes closed even when the museum is open. A beach with campground is found on the opposite side of the island, about a ten minute walk from the ferry terminal.
From Okayama (How to get to Okayama)
Take the JR Ako Line from Okayama to Saidaiji Station (20 minutes, 240 yen, two trains per hour) and change to a bus bound for Higashi Hoden (東宝伝). Get off at the Nishi Hoden (西宝伝) bus stop (1 hour, 510 yen, 3-4 departures per day), which is a short walk from the ferry terminal from where ferries leave for Inujima once every 1-2 hours (10 minutes, 300 yen one way). See timetable.
From Naoshima (How to get to Naoshima Island)

Japan's Wonder Mountains #04 | JAPAN Forward
As winter season arrives, the lively mountains of the summertime Japanese Alps are restored to their tranquility. Mt. Senjogatake (altitude 3,033 meters), “queen” of the Southern Alps, is one of those mountains.
Normally it takes only around an hour by bus to get to the trailhead, the “Kitazawa ridge” where the altitude is 2,000 meters. Buses leave both from Ashiyasu in Yamanashi prefecture and Inashi in Nagano prefecture, located on different sides at the base of the mountain.
However, in winter one must engage in a five-hour walk up the trail to reach the ridge location. The usual one-day hike will turn into a mountaineering trip of three days and two nights during the winter months.

About JAPAN Forward:
JAPAN Forward is a new English-language news and opinion website run by the JAPAN Forward association Inc.
JAPAN Forward aims to present the true face of Japan, as seen from a wide variety of perspectives, to a rapidly-changing world where unpredictability often outpaces stability. Japan has long lagged behind other countries—all of which have their own points of view—in conveying her own take on the world around.
JAPAN Forward sets out to overcome misunderstandings born of linguistic barriers. In covering major news stories in Japan, along with key points of debate, current events, history, culture, and the arts, we hope to deepen the world’s understanding of the Japanese archipelago.
With the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, there is a great need for a new English-language medium rooted in solid fact and fully cognizant of the history and culture of Japan and the Japanese people. Our expanding network of influential analysts and foreign experts based in Japan and overseas means that we are continuously improving our ability to bring the truth about Japan to an ever-wider English-speaking audience.
At the helm of JAPAN Forward is an editor who has decades of journalism experience in Europe and the United States, while our editorial team of native speakers hails from policy research centers, academia, journalism outlets, and more. This is the real Japan, in real English.
JAPAN Forward is operated by JAPAN Forward Association Inc., which has also established the JAPAN Forward Supporters Network to allow individual and corporate sponsors to join in our mission to keep Japan moving forward and build our recognition in the Anglosphere.

Naruto, part of Tokushima Prefecture, is the northeastern most city on Shikoku Island. The city is known for its swirling whirlpools. You can see them in the Strait of Naruto underneath the Onaruto Bridge which connects Tokushima to Awaji Island.
Naruto is also the starting point of the Shikoku Pilgrimage or Henro, which is a religious pilgrimage where one goes around visiting the 88 holy temples on Shikoku.
Ryozenji Temple (Ryōzenji) is the first temple along the Shikoku Pilgrimage, that are associated with Kobo Daishi, the founder of Shingon Buddhism. The pilgrimage, which takes about two months by walk, completely circumnavigates Shikoku, traversing all four prefectures on the Shikoku.
Many pilgrims begin and end their journey outside of Shikoku with a visit to Koyasan. It is home to an active monastic center founded twelve centuries ago by the priest Kukai for the study and practice of Esoteric Buddhism and also the headquarters of Shingon Buddhism
Among the pilgrimage's 88 temples, Ryozenji sits closest to Koyasan, and therefore serves as the start and end point on Shikoku. Pilgrim costumes like white robes, woven hats, walking sticks and other supplies that pilgrims may require are sold.

STORYLINE:
The U.S. and Japan are pledging to remove highly enriched uranium from a Japanese research reactor to reduce the risk of theft and nuclear terrorism.
The allies made the announcement Friday at a nuclear security summit in Washington. Their statement does not say when this process would be complete.
The two governments also confirmed they have completed removal of weapons-usable materials from another Japanese research reactor, as agreed in 2014.
Japanese media have already reported that 331 kilograms (730 pounds) of plutonium is now being shipped to the Savannah River Site, a government facility in South Carolina.
But the state's governor, Nikki Haley, has opposed bringing more plutonium to the site, where tons of it is already stored.
