How much should I care about the expression on the other person's face when I'm talking to them?

Everyone who comes to Japan dreams of seeing Mt. Fuji at least once. As the tallest mountain in Japan, there is surely a special attachment to Mt. Fuji. Aren’t there some people who are beginners at mountain climbing but would like to try it at least once?

In fact, even beginners can climb Mt. Fuji if they prepare properly.

But you may not know what specific preparations you should make.

You may not know where to start or how to climb Mt. Fuji.

Here we will talk about the things you should be careful of when climbing Mt. Fuji.

Japanese students learn from textbooks

It is often seen on Japanese TV programs.

A very familiar place for Japanese people

A golden-looking temple standing in a pond.

This place takes on a different appearance depending on the season and weather.

In the summer, the trees are green and lush.

In winter, the white and golden snow creates a contrast.

What is noteworthy is that there is a phoenix at the top of the roof.

By the way, the phoenix is a mythical creature in China.

It seems to be decorated as a symbol of power or eternal life.

So, why is there a phoenix? I think there are many people who think so.

One theory is that it was simply installed as a guardian deity.

The guardian deity protects Kinkaku-ji from disasters.

It is said that it was set up to bring eternal prosperity.

The second theory is that it was installed to highlight the appearance of a new and great person.

There are two theories.

Finally, I would like to introduce you to a lunch option near Kinkuji that everyone has been waiting for.

Today I would like to introduce a place called "Hanamaki-ya".

When you think of Kyoto, you probably think of soba.

That's right.

Let me introduce you to Soba!

But this isn't just a neighborhood.

This restaurant not only serves Kyoto's famous herring soba, but also

Chirimen sansho, Sudachi soba, homemade mackerel sushi

Tempura, charcoal-grilled eel, duck nanban,

We have many popular products such as homemade cola and ginger ale.

Everything is made with soul.

The price is probably around 1000 yen to 2000 yen.

Very affordable.

Please come and try it.

Hello, I'm Haru. Today, I'd like to introduce you to 'emoji.' I release new content every Monday, and if you'd like, there are subtitles available in the description box.

From now on, I hope to introduce various things about Japan, such as tourist spots, Japanese language, recommended restaurants, shops, and festivals. I post on Mondays, so I'd be delighted if you could spare just one minute to listen.

Emoji is a type of expressive character depicted through cute illustrations. It can be used from smartphone or computer keyboards and serves as a way to convey emotions that cannot be expressed with just kanji (Chinese characters).

It originated in Japan and is now used worldwide. There are countless emojis, such as faces expressing tremendous laughter, flowers, cakes, and so on.

Emojis allow us to quickly convey emotions that are difficult to express with words, enriching communication. People all over the world, not just in Japan, use emojis.

They are also very useful for communicating with friends from other countries. However, if you misuse emojis, it can lead to misunderstandings. For example, receiving a sad message from someone and responding with a laughing face emoji wouldn't be appropriate.

So, it's essential to consider and respect the other person's culture and emotions, using emojis in appropriate situations.

By combining emojis with words, you can more easily convey the emotions you want to express. However, be careful not to omit too many words, as it can lead to misunderstandings. Balance is important.

Mastering the use of emojis will not only help you communicate with Japanese friends but also with people from various backgrounds, making your interactions more enjoyable.

Lovely emojis have the power to make communication with people all around the world more enjoyable and enriching.

A personal thought for today: 'I wonder if medicine really have meaningful effects?'"
