This New Years I had the opportunity to go with a Japanese friend to her hometown in Tottori. Tottori is beautiful because it is right by the sea of Japan. It's also famous for its sand dunes, but unfortunately they were covered with snow so we didn't go there. I had heard that there were camels at the sand dunes, so I wanted to ride one, but not during the winter months! It was pretty cold, and the winds were strong, so the waves were amazing!
This is my host family. They were very kind to me :)
So I got to try some traditional Japanese New Years food, called Osechi.
Every type of food has meaning and significance. I liked some of it :D
It was a good chance to see what a Japanese family was like, what they do during New Years, and enjoy lots of new things. I had lots of chances to speak Japanese too! Hopefully I can remember some of the new words I learned!
