Seeing Yame Bonbori Hinamatsuri dolls festival

On Monday, we had decided to take a drive🚙 to Yame to see Hinamatsuri dolls🎎 festival, a special day in Japan. Hinamatsuri is celebrated each year on March 3.

We visited to Yame Yokomachi Machiya Koryukan (八女横町町家交流館), a venue which is the doll festival is held. We parked a car at Fukushima Hachimangu Shinto shrine, and take a short walk to the place.

It's been almost 10 years..

A happy new year to everyone.

It's been almost 10 years since the earthquake in Kumamoto. The earthquake caused the Aso Ohashi Bridge to collapse😲
