八月十日(hachigatsu toka) : August 10

It slightly rained this morning. I could see a beautiful rainbow. Since it has been extremely hot these days, the rain was a kind of relief. It will be hot again for the rest of the week.

Recently I read an interesting article regarding the reason of traveling in Japan. It is a result of surveys taken at the Narita (成田) Airport and Kansai (関西) International Airport for three times in a year (winter, summer and fall) for about 15,000 foreigners who had traveled in Japan for more than two days.
The best foods in Japan are sushi (寿司), ramen(ラーメン), and sashimi(刺身). What expected most before coming to Japan was also meals.
Those who from Thailand, England, and many other countries chose sushi as the best. Those who from Taiwan chose ramen the best. Those who from China chose sashimi, raw fish best.
The second expected thing was shopping, and the third was onsen (温泉), hot spring.
Yes, there are so many delicious foods in Japan. I am sure you will love them.
