Tsushima Island, Japan
Tsushima (対馬）is an island in Nagasaki prefecture that's closer to Korea than mainland Japan. I lived there for a year as a part of the JET Program. There are 6 towns on the island: Kamitsushima, Kamiagata, Mine, Toyotama, Mitsushima, and Izuhara, and they all have lots of interesting places.

If you would like to know what information I used to get my way around the Island please check out more information down below.
This video combines two days of my trip. As much as Izuhara City was bigger than Hitakatsu, I liked Hitakatsu much more. It was just more quiet. Though there is more things to do in Izuhara. I don't know if I recommend going to the Red Rice fields. They are suppose to turn red early September and I went late September. Either they didn't last very long with a red color tint or they didn't plant the red rice at all. Either way, I wouldn't really go unless you really REALLY want to see it. As for the squid boat thing. I was told that it's a hit or miss with seeing the boats. It depends on the weather and season and I guess it just wasn't my time to see it. The trip was great. I hope you find these videos useful. I was a little disappointed with the videos I saw on youtube, so I hope these will help. Enjoy your trip if you get to go.

「釜山市民の真の友情伝えに来た」今年も対馬で朝鮮通信使行列
韓国との国境に近い島、長崎県対馬市で８月４日、江戸時代に往来した外交使節「朝鮮通信使」を再現した市民らの行列があった。毎夏の「対馬厳原港まつり」の恒例行事。日韓関係の悪化で、釜山市の職員や国会議員らが来島を取りやめたが、行列には韓国側の約５０人と日本側の約２５０人が参加し、交流の重要性と継続を確認し合った。
一行は約１・５キロを練り歩き、通信使を出迎えた旧対馬藩主、宗家の菩提寺「万松院」に到着。「国書」に模し、それぞれに「誠信交隣」という言葉を盛り込んだ友好のメッセージを交換した。対馬藩の儒者雨森芳洲が説いた「互いに欺かず争わず、真実をもって交わる」という思想だ。
対馬藩主に扮した陸上自衛隊対馬駐屯地の山口勝司令が「今後も『平和の遺産』である朝鮮通信使の『誠信交隣』の精神を世界に広げていきましょう」と読み上げると、通信使の正使役の南松祐（ナムソンウ）・釜慶（プギョン）大名誉教授が「皆さまに釜山市民の真の友情をお伝えするよう、うかがいました。民間の文化交流をさらに活性化し、日韓の葛藤解決の糸口を作ることが大事」と応じた。
