Engage Ring@Hana Hostel

It's getting cold these days in Hiroshima. I would prefer warm and dry environment like California.

One happiness story from Hana Hostel Hiroshima.
One day Tom proposed to one of our staff members Yuko-san. Then he gave her a ring made of cosmos.
Now he got a real ring!
He showed up at Hana when she is at work, and he put a ring on her wedding finger.
It was a sudden unexpected event.

Have a happy life together!

TIME for YOGA

It has been a lot cooler in the morning and evening in Hiroshima these few days!!
We have had a really long summer this year so I am very happy that the autumn has come!

We have many sports events at school in the autumn, even we have a national sports day in October!!

It is actually a very good season for going out and play sports this time of the year.
The air is stimulating and the leaves have changed the color. I like autumn!!
And I like practicing YOGA.
I know...Yoga is not really sports but practice of Ashtanga yoga is quit tough for me.
Balance, Flexibility, Concentration...And deep breath.
What you need to do is just feel your body condition and happiness.


I'm trying to feel it!

There is one more thing that I like is Aromatherapy.
It is very helpful when you really want to relax and refresh!
My favorite aroma is lavender and lemon.


I'm practicing Yoga at very cozy studio in Hiroshima near my house.
And there will be a big event coming in December!!

A very famous Ashtanga Yoga instructor will be coming to Hiroshima to hold 2 days Workshop☆
I'm excited to join the class, or rather, I can not wait to see the good-looking instructor (MAN)!?!? hehehe

One nice day

Hello everyone!!
It's a autumn, finally!!
Do you have any plans for this great season?

It is great to go out and see a lot of things during this nice fall weather.

One nice autumn day, our night staff,Naomi, and I went to cycling along the Kamo river.
It was a beautiful day for cycling.
Besides, biking on the bank of Kamo river is my favorite course.





While we were cycling up north, we have found very energetic children.
They were also biking, and competing against each other.
Now that looks closer, they were one of our guests at Kyoto Hana Hostel!!
Long way down, their parents were still cycling toward us.

It is time for us to take a little bit rest.




The youngest boy was oblivious to everything but cycling.




I love her smile ^^



Afterward, Naomi and I cycled toward Kitayama street.
There ware a lot of interesting shops and people on the way up to Kitayama street.
We have explored just one part of Kyoto on that day, and made us want to launch an expedition around Kyoto!!

Couple of days later, I found a gift at Hostel!!
This is from that family!!


Thank you very much for your surprise nice gift^^

It DID exist

Sometimes the photos on the websites and magazines etc...
are taken sooo beautifully.
But actually, it's not exactly the same
when you see a real one.

This time I was very curious about this one
pond. The water is so clear and looks like an
emerald green sea.

Will it exist in the mountain??

Actually, it did...





It WAS like an emerald green sea.

This pond is called "Befu-bentensui".
It is known for a water of longevity.
The water comes out 186liters per second.





You can see this beautiful pond because of the
karst landform in Yamaguchi prefecture.







It is easy to get to Yamaguchi prefecture from
Hiroshima. But I'm sure there are
more and more beautiful places in Hiroshima
which I still don't know.

I'll still keep on exploring more beautiful places
in Hiroshima.
