This is cool to see. Two Europeans have just started 2 weeks of training in traditional shrine-building carpentry techniques at Itsukushima Shrine on the island of Miyajima

Seen things like this overseas, but a first for us in Japan!

This is something I didn’t expect to be on an izakaya menu in Japan.

The atomic bomb 💣 cocktail

Still very much a thing. We are lucky to have @ryowanamiki here in Hiroshima who see non-Japanese renters as a market rather than a nuisance.

[Unseen Japan @UnseenJapanSite]

NHK has an article on an under-discussed subject in Japan: the many realtors and landlords who outright refuse to rent to foreign residents. One man from Spain was bluntly told “foreigners aren’t allowed to take up residence here” - and has the email to prove it.

90% of foreign visitors say Nagasaki museum should keep exhibit on background of A-bombings | @themainichi

We have always admired Nagasaki's approach and the lack of this context at the Hiroshima Museum is a significant obstacle to visitors fully engaging with the horror of the attack.

Hiroshima Corporate Health Declaration: Number of companies making employee health a priority grows | @ChugokuShimbun

Give employees who cycle or walk to work the same transport subsidy as people who drive or take public transport. Bring this in and those who control tight family budgets (who still tend to be wives and mothers) will apply the necessary pressure on commuters!

Hiroshima urges Israel to cease Gaza attack in peace ceremony invite | @kyodo_english

"Hiroshima city government has been accused of double standards by some residents and activists after it emerged in April that while it will invite Israel, it will bar Russia and Belarus from the ceremony for a third straight year over the invasion of Ukraine."

A 30m tall oak tree fell at the grave site of the great samurai warrior Motonari Mōri on the ruins of Koriyama Castle in Akitakata. The tree did not strike any of the graves but smashed four 3m tall stone lanterns dating from 1802 and 1922.

If you are looking for that "bamboo forest in kimono" shot without being surrounded by hoards of people, this kimono rental spot next to Hiroshima's Shukkeien Garden could be just the ticket 👘🎋https://t.co/viJxr0YUFQ

[GetHiroshima @GetHiroshima]

Beautiful kimono for rent just a short shuffle from Hiroshima's Shukkeien Garden. Cool selfie studio too so Momiji has you covered even during rainy season👘🤳

Oh no, anti-immigrant Japanese right wingers… bad news. Foreign residents paying into health insurance more than they take out!

It makes sense because immigrants are typically younger than the average Japanese population.

They contribute 3% to the health insurance and take 1%! Don’t we want them? 😬

We had the first super hot day of the year here in Hiroshima yesterday. Temperatures got up to 30.3℃ and it was even hotter in the inland areas of Kake in Akiota and Shobara. It's looking like today will be another hot one so take it easy out there!
