My Hometown in Shimane

My hometown is Shimane. Shimane is seldom known because it is very rural. But, Shimane is famous place such as Izumo Shrine, Iwami Silver mine, Takatsu River etc. I am from Masuda. I had lived in Masuda for one year with my family. Now, I live in Hamada for about six years with my family. Hamada is more rural than Masuda.
My favorite place in Hamada is sea. Summer vacation,  I go to the sea to swim. Sea is very beautiful. About six years ago, I lived in Hiroshima. Hiroshima's sea is not clean. So, I often go to Shimane in summer vacation. These days, I don't go to the sea because I am busy in summer vacation. Next year, I want to swim in the sea in summer vacation.
Famous food is fish such as Aji, Nodoguro, Karei. There are famous brand fish. Sometimes, I eat these fish. Also, I like these fish especially karei.
Besides, there are traditional dance in Shimane. It is called Iwami Kagura. Do you know Iwami Kagura ?  It is very exciting and interesting. I ofeten watch Iwami Kagura for childfood. If you watch it for first time, you can't uunderstand the story. But soon you enjoy Iwami Kagura. My favorite title is Zinrin. I think most interesting  Iwami Kagura. Now, I reserch Iwami Kagura for seminar. It is difficult for me to research Iwami Kagura's history because I hardly know about it. So, I must study hard Iwami Kagura.
Shimane is very rural and not interesting for me. But, if you want to visit in Shimane, you may enjoy in Shimane.

  1. Hello. Like you I don't think I enjoy rural towns. They can get boring very quickly. I prefer visiting big exciting cities. But that is cool that you are from somewhere so historical...
