Hospitalization in Japan

I was hospitalized for surgery.
I introduce the hospitalization life at that time.

The hospital I was in was a cheap public hospital.
The staffs were kind.
Automatically moving blood pressure monitor and foot massage.Those were rational.
Quadruple room is standard and cheapest. Each beds are separated by the curtains.
The bed is comfortable.
There is a security box next to the bed.
TV is charged.

The foods were delicious.

Breakfast one day  : Barley tea, Cold milk, Bread, Apple, Margarine, Stewed vegetables.

Lunch one day : Eggplant and Tomato, Tandoori chicken, Green pepper, French fries, Barley tea, Rice, Vegetable consomme soup

Dinner one day : Apple, Steamed vegetables, Boiled fish soy sauce flavor,  Barley tea, Rice, Radish salad.

Autumn Japanese sweets

I bought a rice cake "Mochi" at a Japanese sweets shop Daieidouhonpo.

There is a rice cake under the maple leave.
The rice cake is soft and sticky. 
There is red bean paste in the rice cake.
This red bean paste contains maple syrup.

There is a walnut when the leave is removed.
I can't eat this leaf.

It is tasty! Sweet but not too sweet. The hardness and bitterness of the walnut is a nice accent.

Akashi Park's Sakura

Akashi Park is in Hyogo Prefecture. Akashi is easily accessible from Osaka.
There are many cherry blossoms.
Akashi Park is perfect for cherry blossom viewing and picnic.
There are toilets, cafes and shops in the Park.
Akashi Park is not suitable for cherry blossom viewing at night. Because it's dark and the cherry blossoms aren't illuminated. And the security at night is not good.
The best time to see the cherry blossoms is around April 10.

Akashi Park is located in Akashi city, Hyogo Prefecture.
Akashi Park is just north of Akashi Station.
Access is better by train and walk.

Sakura in Japan Kansai countryside

The cherry blossom season has come this year.
Next year, let's go to see a lot of cherry blossoms when the infectious disease is over.
This year, I went to see the cherry blossoms in places with few people.

Many tourists often go to Himeji Castle and Osaka Castle to see cherry blossoms.
They are so wonderful.
There are many more cherry blossom spots.

Much of the land in Japan is countryside.
There are many cherry blossom spots in the countryside where few people go.

I introduce some cherry blossom spots in Hyogo-Ken.
