桜が満開になった頃、この男現る！

我らが日本に帰ってきてからの短い付き合いながら、手伝わせて下さいと遥々東京から来てくれた。

When Sakura fully blossomed this guy appeared here. We met Shin after we came back to Japan. We’ve spent time really short yet he came to help us from Tokyo.

先ずは少し観光に出かけ、津山の中心地に近い庭園、衆楽園をお散歩。

We went a little tour around Tsuyama. A beautiful garden called Shurakuen is one of the tourist spots here.

その後はこの時期の津山といえば城跡がある鶴山公園の桜が有名なんで、そちらもお散歩。

If you hear Tsuyama in Sakura season you come to Rakuzan Park where the Tsuyama Castle was once stood.

この男、本気です！

This guy is real! (The back of his t-shirts says “who does if I don’t Allez!”)

折角来てもらったので翌日はピザパーティーを企画、来てくれる人へのお土産用の筍を掘りに一緒に裏山へ。しんちゃん初めての筍掘りも早い時期にしては中々のサイズをゲット～いい顔してるね！

We planned a pizza party next day having some people. So I wanted him to experience digging baby bamboos also for our guest to take it home. Well he did well got some nice sized one even though it was an early season. Thanks for your work!
