    One that I like going to each year here in Niigata is the Yahiko Autumn Leaves Festival and chrysanthemum event. The seasonal colors are so beautiful, and I always love the creative displays of chrysanthemums!

    I'm tempted to go see some minor festivals in my region. Taiko, lion dance, taiko events to mark autumn. If I can get away to see them, I'll share them here!

    For anyone who might be new to Japan reading this, I highly recommend checking out your prefecture's official tourism site for seasonal event info. Most of them will have a dedicated events section which lets you filter by the time of year, so you can discover what's on and when!

The newspaper and you!

Do you get a newspaper delivered to your house or buy one in a shop or subscribe to / read one daily online? Or just read it every now and then? Or can you not remember the last time you read the newspaper?

Japan's best bready offerings

You may have seen my recent blog, but Japan's kare pan was named one of the world's 50 best breads by CNN. What's your favorite bakery item here in Japan? Would love to hear your thoughts!

What's your favorite aspect of Japan's culture?

With Culture Day coming up next month, I'm curious to hear what tradition, habit, or value my fellow City-Cost bloggers most appreciate about living here. I know there's a lot to choose from, so if you have to mention a few things go right ahead!

Has life in Japan improved your body image?

I think overall I've become more accepting of my body during my years in Japan, and I would say a big part of that is because of onsen culture. It has made me realize that bodies are just that...bodies...and they come in all different shapes and sizes. I'm wondering how you feel about your own body image based on your time here. Has it helped or hindered your perception?
