#TeamJapan - JAPAN MANIA!

[Yucco]

This image is a photo of “Mizuhiki (Ume Musubi) ” that is used for gift wrapping. This way of tying includes a wish to connect the peoples.

Speaking of Japan, what do you remind? For example, Japanese dishes, Mt Fuji, Toyota cars, Kimono, ICHIRO and so forth, right? Yes, they are really good and we also love them. However, not only them, there are a lot of featured things in Japan!

Have you ever been to Japan? Tokyo, Kyoto or Okinawa? Sure! They are beautiful and popular places in Japan! However, not only such famous places, there are a lot of awesome places where you should go!

Do you like Japan? And would you like to go to Japan?

We'd like you to know how Japan is nice. We are local guides, and always looking for interesting things. So we’d like to tell you what we found in Japan.

As #Teamchallange that proposed by @ErmesT, we’d like to let you know about interesting places, good foods, awesome things. Through our post, we wish you to answer "Yes, I like Japan! Of course, I want to go!".

There are 6 members in our #TeamJapan. Let me introduce their name and their motivation to be the local guide.

@YasumiKikuchi

"Japan is soaring in popularity from all over the world. However did you know the real background story of Japan? I will show you that Japan is a country with a beauty that is invisible beyond what it can see."

@955HIRO

Hello. What kind of image do you have in Japan? Home appliances? Automobile? Samurai? sushi? Of course, they are one of the famous images of Japan. I will tell you about the wonderfulness of Japan that you still don't know.

@Anzu

I am a Local Guide mainly working in Kita city, Tokyo, Japan. Kita city is the most forgettable city in Tokyo, but I love my home town.
As a Local guide, I help others exploring my city!

@HiroyukiTakisawa

I'd like to let you know engaging places in my region. And I'd like to know amazing places all over the world as well. Through the conversation in Local Guides Connect, I hope we know a lot of unknown places and make various friends. LLAP🖖

[日本語版] チームジャパン - 日本マニア！

日本と聞いて皆さんはどんなことを思い浮かべますか？日本食、富士山、トヨタ車、着物、イチロー…などでしょうか？確かにそれらは全て日本が世界に誇るべき人（もの）です。しかしながら、日本には他にも特色のあるものが沢山あります！
皆さんは日本へお越しになったことがありますか？東京、京都、沖縄？もちろん、それらの都市は知名度も高く素晴らしいところです。しかし日本にはそれらの有名な場所ばかりではなく、貴方が訪れるべき素晴らしい場所が山のようにあるのです！
皆さんは、日本がお好きですか？そして日本に遊びに来たいと思われますか？

私たちは、日本の素晴らしいところを皆さんに知ってほしいと思っています。なぜなら私たちはローカルガイドですから。いつだって素敵な場所を探し続けているのです。そして、私たちが日本で発見した面白いものごとを皆さんにお伝えしたくてしかたないのです。

@ermestさんが提案してくださった#Teamchallangeとして、日本の面白い場所、美味しい食べ物、素敵なものごとについて皆さんにお伝えしていきます。そして先ほどの質問に皆さんが「もちろん好きだよ！行きたいよ！」と答えてもらえたら良いなと思っています。

#TeamJapanのメンバーは、現在6名です。以下にメンバーのアカウントと、ローカルガイドをしている理由を紹介します。

@YasumiKikuchi
世界中から人気急上昇の日本。でも日本の本当の背景ストーリーをご存知ですか？日本は見た目以上に見えない美しさを持つ国であることを案内します。

@955IHRO
こんにちは。皆さんは日本という国にどんなイメージをお持ちですか？家電？自動車？サムライ？寿司？もちろんそれらも有名な日本のイメージの1つです。まだ皆様方が知らない日本の素晴らしさを皆様にご案内させて頂きます。

@Anzu
主に東京の北の方で活動しているローカルガイドです、城北地域は忘れられがちですが、私の大事な町でもあります。ローカルガイド として、皆さんの町歩きのお手伝いができればと考えてます。

@HiroyukiTakisawa
私は自分の地域にある魅力的な場所をもっと沢山の人に知ってほしいと思っています。そして世界中のまだ知らない驚くべき場所を知りたいと思っています。このローカルガイドコネクトでの会話を通じて、たくさんの知らない場所を知り、友人を作れたら嬉しいです。

@ken_jp
こんにちは！私は、日本の四季を撮影しています。
私はGoogleマップを通じて日本の素晴らしい季節や美味しいお店をいくつか投稿しています。。また360度のパノラマストリートビューも作成しています。

@Yucco
私は海外の人、文化、国について知ることが大好きです。そして、日本の東海地方のことや、旅行先で見つけた素敵な場所について発信したいと思っています。それらの活動を通じて、色々な国に多くの友人を作りたいです。

この投稿は#チームジャパンのメイン記事です。私たちは、@ermestさんが提案してくださった、チームチャレンジに参加しています。

ところで話は変わりますが、この記事を書いている私は猫を大変愛しています。幸いなことに、この日本にはたくさんの猫が暮らしています。猫についての記事も書きたいと考えているときに、「ネコカフェ」について書かれたとても素敵な記事をみつけました。
投稿者の@YutaEさんに#チームジャパンに参加の打診をしてみたのですが、どうやら今は忙しいとのこと。時間の都合がつくようになったら、参加してもらえたらいいなと思います。ともかく、猫好きにはたまらない「ネコカフェ」記事をここに紹介します。

Hello @ErmesT,
I'm pleased to read that you love cats.Three cats live in my house. While I'm writing this post, a kitten runs into a moving mouse. They make me really happy.

Thank you for giving us such a wonderful challenge.

All members of the team are enthusiastic guides and are very supportive of this challenge. I think Team Japan members' posts are unique and interesting. It's very lucky for me to be able to participate in this challenge with great members. I'd like to continue this challenge. There are many great posts from other countries, so I'd like to read and learn a lot.

What a nice and complete collection #TeamJapan! I’ll make sure to read them all. I don’t know much about your country, except for the couple of animes I loved watching  when I was a kid.  It’d be really nice to see your country through the eyes of the locals, thanks for sharing @Yucco
