Morioka Castle Site Park ( Morioka City )
( National historic site )
Morioka Castle was a beautiful three-story castle which served as the residence of the Nambu lords. Its construction began in 1598, and by 1609, Morioka had developed as a castle town. However, the age of the samurai eventually came to a close, and the castle was demolished in 1874. The site became desolate after the demolition, but it was revived in 1906 as Iwate Park; in 2006, the park was given a new nickname Morioka Castle Site Park to commemorate its 100th anniversary. Though the castle no longer stands today, you can still see the beautiful stone walls throughout the park.
Nitobe Inazo, who wrote Bushido: The Soul of Japan ( 1900 ) , was born just across the river from the park; today, his monument stands in the park. There are many reasons to visit the park throughout the year: the Morioka Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring, the lush green foliage in the summer, the colorful foliage and music festival in the fall, and the illuminated stone walls in the winter.

Notes:
0:13 When talking to kids in Japanese it's (somewhat) normal to use your own name when talking about yourself. Just like how it's normal in English for your parents to say mommy or daddy about their own spouse etc
0:58 I wrote three boys, but there's actually one girl (Kido) in the group, sorry about that ;;;; (Thanks, Ame www)

Yukio Koma plays his shamisen on St. Marks Place to raise money for Japan
As I walked east along St. Marks Place on a sun-soaked Sunday afternoon, I heard the twangs of a curious string instrument emanate from down the block. It's definitely not a guitar, I thought; it sounds more like a banjo, but that doesn't seem right either. I pressed onwards and swiftly spotted the source. Perched on a stoop outside Kenka, a popular sushi restaurant, 55 year-old music teacher Yukio Koma played the shamisen, a traditional three-stringed Japanese instrument.
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake near northeastern Japan sparked a vicious tsunami, decimating Koma's hometown of Kamaishi. The historic steel-producing city is located in Iwate Prefecture, the region hardest hit by the deadly natural disasters. Of Kamaishi's 43,000 residents, 1,250 are dead or reported missing, reports the Agence France-Presse.
Equipped with his shamisen, speakers, and a bounty of colorful scarves, Koma spends eight hours a day playing music on St. Marks Place, soliciting donations to help rebuild the ravaged Iwate region. Even on days when he teaches shamisen at the United Nations International School, he still spends six hours playing in the street, hoping New Yorkers will open their hearts and wallets.
Koma's valiant effort has paid off: he raised $2,600 after his first 10 days playing on his signature stoop. He estimates his present take is nearly double that amount.
Some days it's cold out here, says Koma. But when I imagine how cold the water must have been when the tsunami hit my family, I think to myself, 'You know what, I don't need warmth right now, I can endure this and continue to play the shamisen.'
Sadly, Koma has been unable to contact his family and friends in Iwate since the disaster. Cut off completely from his brother, sister, and mother, he prays that they're alive and well. He attempts to reach them every day, but it appears all communications in Kamaishi remain down.
Koma is a relative of Zenko Suzuki, the former Japanese Prime Minister. Suzuki, who served as Prime Minister from July 17, 1980 to November 27, 1982, played a major role in rebuilding the country after previous natural disasters, which Koma says inspired him to do the same for this current calamity. Plus, he continues, the present Japanese political system is very slow and reluctant to accept aid, so he feels the need to act now.
Koma doesn't intend to stop his shamisen marathons anytime soon — he plans to make his posters and performances grander and more noticeable as the warm weather rolls in. It will be 15 years before things are back to normal in Iwate, says Koma. I will continue to raise awareness and money for this cause for a long time.
