Yokosuka, Japan - 13th June 2013
By: cocoaby
White Owl delivered big envelope.
It is written as "Lotta and Prajna" in the envelope from Vietnam.
Toys is looking forward to seeing new guest.
Little yellow mushrooms said "I feel my heart beating".
Prajna and Lotta was greeted with "Hello".
Host toys said "welcome".
Prajna and Lotta and Meomie did a lot of talk about Vietnam.
And... yellow frog Houjicha said "By the way, It's the rainy season(called Tsuyu) in Japan."
The rainy season, Tsuyu, lasts from the beginning of June to mid-July in mainland Japan.
The literal meaning of "Tsuyu" is "plum rain".
It is called so because plums ripen in the same time of the year.
Many people hate this season because of the high temperature and extreme humidity "Tsuyu" brings in Japan.
We have plan to adventure if sunny weekend.

It was sunny today though it is rainy season.
We went to Tateishi park.
This is a great place to see Mount Fuji(most highest mountain(3443m) in Japan,It will be included in UNESCO recently).
We could not see Mount Fuji unfortunately.
Mount Fuji can be seen in winter here.
Words of Izumi Kyoka(Japanese writer) of "Kusameikyu(means grass Labyrinth)" (1908) is written in stone monument.
But coast rocks(12m height, called Tateishi) was a great landscape.
