Do you know Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan?
At the summit of Mount Fuji, there is a shrine, and it has long been associated with prayers for health and well-being.
Long ago, many people would climb that tall mountain to pray for the health of their families.
Japan is home to many shrines, and some of them have small hills that contain soil from Mount Fuji or enshrine the same deity as Mount Fuji.
People believe that even if they cannot climb the real Mount Fuji, climbing one of these small hills brings the same blessings as climbing the mountain itself.
There is actually one of these little “Mount Fujis” near my home, and it is only open for climbing on a single day in July!
It will be my first time, so I’m thinking of giving it a try.
Hopefully it will bring me some good luck! 🤭

Do you like Japanese sweets?
I love traditional Japanese sweets because I’m a big fan of sweet red bean paste (anko) and brown sugar syrup (kuromitsu), so I eat wagashi quite often!
There are also so many Japanese sweets these days that are not only delicious but incredibly cute-looking, so I’d definitely recommend giving them a try.
My personal favorite is strawberry daifuku! It’s a fresh strawberry wrapped in sweet red bean paste and soft mochi, and it looks adorable too! 🍓💕

I went to Fukuoka at the beginning of this month!
I had such a great time, and the hot springs were so relaxing. They made me really happy!
Unfortunately, my flight home was canceled because of the typhoon, so things got a little stressful for a while. 😅
How about everyone else? Were you all okay during the typhoon? 🌧️✈️♨️
