It has been 10 years since the Great East Japan Disaster on March 11.

At Minamisanriku Hotel Kanyo, all the staff and customers silently headed for Shizugawa Bay at 2:46 pm on that day.

Kataribe(Storyteller) Bus

"Kataribe Bus" to remember the disaster.

We will tell you about disaster prevention, preparation for disaster mitigation, what we want to convey, and the experience of the earthquake and tsunami that we want you to utilize in the future.

Our hotel operates a "Kataribe Bus " every day. We are showing not only the situation of town, but also real experiences and what we have learned to our customers. 

 [ Sample Course ]

Departure Hotel 08:45am  -  Togura Area  -  Takano Kaikan  Building  -  Former Disaster Prevention Center  -  Arrival Hotel 09:45am

We believe it is the role of the Kataribe to prevent weathering of the disaster.  This will be our message to the next generations !

Please stay and join our "Kataribe Bus" tour.     Now English, Chinese and Japanese tour are available.   Advance reservation is required.

One day in mid-February, I went to Kamiwarizaki to worship at sunrise.

Many people came to see this sunrise around 6:30 in the morning.

"Kamiwarizaki" has a rock that has a legend that the battle over the boundary of the land and the whale that was launched on the beach touched the wrath of God and was torn in half by the lightning that was released. Here you can see the miraculously beautiful sunrise rising from the rock crevice for a limited time twice a year in February and October.

Since last week, we have decorated the Hina dolls for the Hina Matsuri, so this time I would like to introduce you to the Hina Matsuri.

These Hina dolls were donated to cheer us up after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Hinamatsuri, also called Doll's Day or Girls' Day, is a special day in Japan. Celebrated on 3 March of each year, platforms covered with a red carpet-material are used to display a set of ornamental dolls(hina-ningyo) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period.

First, top platform

The top tier holds two dolls, known as Odairi-sama(Emperor) and Ohinasama(Empress). The two are usually placed in front of a gold folding screen byobu.

Second platform

The second tier holds three court ladies san-nin kanjo who serve sake to the male and female dolls. Two of them are standing with serving utensils, one with a long handle (Nagae no chōshi) and the other with a short one (Kuwae no chōshi). The third (Sanpō), placed in the middle, holds a small table and may be standing or sitting/kneeling.

Accessories placed between the ladies are takatsuki , stands with round table-tops for seasonal sweets, excluding hishi mochi.

Third platform

The third tier holds five male musicians gonin bayashi. Each holds a musical instrument except the singer, who holds a fan:

1  Small drum (Taiko), seated,

2 Large drum (Ōtsuzumi), standing,

3 Hand drum (Kotsuzumi), standing,

4 Flute (Fue), or Yokobue, seated,

5 Singer (Utaikata), holding a folding fan (sensu), standing.

Fourth platform

Two ministers (daijin) may be displayed on the fourth tier. These may be the emperor's bodyguards, or administrators in Kyoto: the Minister of the Right (Udaijin) and the Minister of the Left (Sadaijin). Both are sometimes equipped with bows and arrows. When representing the ministers, the Minister of the Right is depicted as a young person, while the Minister of the Left is older because that position was the more senior of the two. 

Fifth platform

The fifth tier, between the plants, holds three helpers (shichō) or protectors (eji) of the Emperor and Empress:

1 Crying drinker nakijōgo

2 Angry drinker okorijōgo

3 Laughing drinker waraijōgo

Other platforms

On the other tiers, a variety of miniature furniture, tools, carriages, etc., are displayed.  Some of them are items used within the palatial residence.

It is said that if you delay storing the dolls, your marriage will be delayed (superstition), so you may not be able to see them after March 3rd.

Stay and Enjoy a delicious meal, Onsen(hot spring) with Infinity open-air bath , and a hina decorations.

Please listen to the popular Hinamatsuri songs that all Japanese people know !!

前幾日，早上氣溫零下六度，看到了海上罕見的"蒸気霧"，在陽光的照射下，真的是一個夢幻般志津川灣！

マイナス6度となりました先日の朝，
海上で「気嵐(けあらし)」を見ることができました。
とても綺麗、幻想的な志津川湾でした。！

拉姆薩爾條約濕地 宮城縣南三陸地區 志津川灣發生「蒸気霧」的條件是什麼呢？

ラムサール条約湿地である宮城県南三陸町の志津川湾「気嵐（けあらし）」にて発生する条件とは？

（1） 天氣晴朗
（2）氣溫在零下15度左右
（3）氣溫與海水溫差為15度以上
（4） 東南風吹來
（5） 風速為3至5米

①天気が晴れであること
②気温が氷点下15度前後であること
③気温と海水の温度差が15度以上であること
④東南東の風が吹いていること
⑤風速は3～5メートルであること

清晨，東南風吹來，氣溫下降。
從海面蒸發的水蒸氣凝結在一起，
"蒸気霧"發生，海平面成為夢幻般的風景。

東南東の穏やかな風が吹く気温が特に下がった早朝には、
海面から蒸発した水蒸気が凝結して、
「気嵐」が発生し海面が幻想的な風景になります。

Happy New Year 2021 !    May this be a happy and  fruitful year.

This time, I would like to introduce to the New Year in Japan. New year is called  "Oshogatsu" in Japanese.

[ Shimenawa ( Straw festoon decorated with cut paper ) ]

"Shimenawa is a landmark for Toshigami* to come down from a high mountain on New Year's Day. It is said that the shimenwawa that the old god has descended has the power to exterminate evil spirits, and the place where the shimenawa is located becomes a sacred place.  *important god who prays for the happiness of our year, which we will welcome on New Year's Day.  At our hotel, we have two entrances with Shimenawa.

[ Kadomatsu(Decorative pine branches) ]

It is placed on both sides of the front entrance of a house during New Year's holidays. It symbolizes longevity, prosperity and purity.

[ Eto(Japanese zodiac) ]

This is the year of the Ox in the Japanese zodiac.

[ Kagami-mochi ]

Kagami-mochi are circular, flat rice cakes offered to the god in the New Year.

[ Hatsumode(First shrine visit of the New Year) ]

Many Japanese people visit a shrine, sometimes temple, during the first three days of January, and wish New Year's health, happiness, and so on at Hatsumode.

I went to Yanaizu Kokuzoson for the Hatsumode on January 3rd.

Click to see the state of worship  ⇒ ( IMG_2679 )

( Stroking ox )

It is said that if you worship at a merchant's house, you will have a family safety, prosperous business, and auspicious events.  In recent years, it is said that stroking the same area as one's affected area will heal the illness.
