My Hometown’s International Exchange ― Inuyama Version
By Yuna Otake (Faculty of Policy Studies, 2nd Year)
I would like to introduce an international exchange of my hometown, Inuyama city in Aichi prefecture. Have you ever heard of Inuyama city? It’s not a popular tourist area in Japan, but it is quite a wonderful place. There is the Inuyama castle, which was built in the Azuchi Momoyama era; I am always moved when I see the cherry blossoms in full bloom every spring.There is also the temple located in the mountain, Jakkoin, which is known as Momijidera. It displays many beautiful maples in the autumn.
