I love TK !!

My hometown is Takaoka located in Toyama prefecture,north part of Japan.
I like it very much in many ways.

First of all, life in my hometown is really relaxing.
It is more quiet than big cities. So, I don't have to worry about loud noise.
Also, there is a river and mountain near my house.
When I go back to my hometown,I sometimes go there to enjoy nature.
I used to slide hills by using cardboard when I was a boy.
In winter, we can enjoy winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and "sori",sled.

Secondly, food in my hometown is delicious.
It is famous for delicious fish and kombu.
I used to enjoy eating crabs my grandfather's friend gave him for free.
They were so yummy!!
I also like "buri daikon" my grandmother cooks.

Finally, the carnival in my hometown called "shishimai",lion dance, is really exciting!!
We practice "shishimai" a lot with people living in the same town before the carnival.
Adults teach young people how to dance "shishimai".
Young people learn how to dance it better from them.
On the carnival day, we walk around our neigborhood and dance "shishimai".
Everyone feels excited this day.
I love this carnibal because I can feel as if I am a "omatsuri-otoko".

That's why I really like my hometown.
If you have a chance, visit there.
I'm sure you will have a good time there!!
