It was as if they all had moved to a dark room and her eyes which stared into your soul was the only light so all you could do is stare back. Ayame exhales. “Aka Manto… Amanojaku… Gashadokuro… Jorogumo… Jubokko, Kappa, Kuchisake Onna, Kyokotsu, Nure Onna, Yuki Onna, Obariyon, Onihitokuchi, Shuten Doji, Tamamo-no-Mae, Yamauba, Sutoku Tenno… If its none of then then nod to this… Obake, Tengu, Tsukumogami, Kinataro, Rokurokubi, Yurei. None of these either huh… Then was it a Zashiki- warashi? Or a Tanuki. Don’t tell me perhaps a Ningyo or Amabie or an Iiju or a Kirin…. I’m getting exhausted now. I can’t find an answer…” says Ayame and starts chewing on her finger nails as her eyes started to get

Tons of equipment at the sides and the pool’s walls had marble-like designs that accentuated everything. “Himeji Castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō or Shirasagi-jō ("White Egret Castle" or "White Heron Castle") because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight. The castle has been featured extensively in foreign and Japanese films, including the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice" (1967), and Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha (1980), and Ran (1985). In the television miniseries Shōgun (1980) it served as a stand-in for feudal-era Osaka castle. In the video games Civilization Revolution and Civilization V, Himeji Castle is available to build as a world

I think I've left Earth and entered another planet. Tokyo is out of this world. I'm done trying to make sense of this megalopolis, with its jigsaw of real estate and seething mass of people. The kaleidoscopic lights, crush of humanity, and sheer scale of it all makes it worthy of being the most populous metropolitan area in the world. A city of stunning contrasts, there's so much to do. There's the chance for quiet contemplation beside a carp pond in the Zen-like?Hamarikyu Gardens, the opportunity to watch locals retrieve their fortunes from wooden drawers at Buddhist?Senso-ji Temple, or take a visit to?Ueno Park. Across the colour-changing?Rainbow Bridge?lies?Odaiba's, the artificial island

Nanako stood up and said excitedly, “My father and I will wait for your good news in Kyoto, then!” With that said, she turned around and ran out. Yahiko asked loudly from behind, “Nanako, where are you going now?” Nanako replied without turning her head, “I’m going to Rokuonji Temple to ask for an omamori for Charlie-kun!” The Japanese omamori could be equated to amulets in Oskia.

The morning rooster's noise boisterously rippled through the skies, awakening people who were asleep in the small town of Hiraizumi , in Japan. Hiraizumi is a town that has a mixture between traditional style and modern style areas adopting a toned down version of the dynasties that were famous in the great country of China. The houses themselves looked as if they were made from oak tree wood, each one having been painted a different shade in colour. This small town of Hiraizumi is home to a particular young man Rogue who lived all of his life there, and today December 13th is a special day for him.

Turns out their name is Inagawa Kai and Kudo Kuzakura. They escort us to their car and we go to their base since their oyabun, Iwamoto Hisao. I perk my curiosity since usually, they name their clan with the surname of the head but this gang named it differently. But oh well, better not question it, hence I'm seeking trouble. Upon our arrival, there was a traditional Japanese house that you usually see in the 19s era. The big door and traditional ornaments and the wooden block with the writing Yangoku. Well, from what I know, Japanese Yakuza tend to build their base in an old or traditional model to show chivalry.

She mischievously wanted to see how Kenji would handle it. "There is something I want," said Akiko. "What is it?" Kenji quickly responded. "Mochi from Nakatanidou." Akiko mentioned the hardest-to-get food she could remember. "Nara?" Kenji confirmed. Nara is the prefecture in which Nakatanidou is located. It's about four hundred kilometers away from Tokyo. Farther than Sendai's coast before. "Yes." Akiko nodded, holding back a smile as she saw Kenji thinking. "Okay. I'll buy it. Maybe tomorrow..."

"I'm heading out now. When Mom leaves her room, tell her that I'll be back by ten in the morning." They nodded and I made my way outside. Higan had already arrived a few minutes ago but Marcy didn't want me to go anywhere without her finishing my hair. I wondered why they put so much effort into this despite Higan being very much a man. I opened the door and stepped out of the house. Higan was leaning against his car in a white long sleeved dress shirt and black jeans. His eyes raked over me and I blushed at how he was shamelessly checking me out.

Ren felt happy just seeing how she enjoyed the place. " Every year, miyakojima hosts several well-known summer festivals. It's believed that Sanno matsuri is one of the three most famous festivals of Miyako along with the Kanda Matsuri, and Fukagawa Matsuri. This festival is held in miyakojima in the middle of June in even-numbered years" said the guide named Jiro as they walked on the path.

Luna found herself swept up in the excitement, crossing the intersection herself and feeling the pulse of Tokyo's fast-paced lifestyle. Eager to experience Tokyo's rich cultural heritage, Luna visited the historic district of Asakusa. She explored the narrow streets of Nakamise Shopping Street, lined with traditional shops selling souvenirs, sweets, and crafts. Luna couldn't resist trying some freshly made senbei (rice crackers) and admiring the intricate artwork of the local craftspeople. She then made her way to Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest and most revered Buddhist temple. Luna marveled at the imposing red gate (Kaminarimon) that led to the temple grounds, where she joined the locals in prayi
