Wakayama Prefectural Kiifudoki-no-oka has been conducting excavations of the Iwase Senzuka tumulus group since July 2021 in conjunction with the construction of the Prefectural Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (tentative).
The survey uncovered four new tombs, one of which is presumed to belong to a local authority. On March 26, a public information meeting was held for that tomb and another one.

Iwase Senzuka Tumulus Group consists of approximately 900 burial mounds which are built from around the end of the 4th century to the middle of the 7th century, on hills ranging from 80 to 150 meters above sea level.

Of the tombs discovered this time, the stone chamber of Maeyama B370 (tentative) is presumed to be an Iwase-type side-hole tomb, a 16-20 meter round burial mound, and experts believe that it was the tomb of an influential local person based on the secondary burial goods and its size.
The smaller Mayama B369 (tentative) is about 3 meters long and has a T-shaped stone chamber. This tomb is presumed to be a one-man burial mound.
Kiifudoki-no-oka plans to backfill and preserve these newly discovered tombs.
March 3rd is the Doll’s Festival, Japanese people display a set of dolls and pray for the sound growth of girls in the family.
On this day, the “Nagashi-biina” event is held at Awashima Shrine in Wakayama City, where hina dolls delivered from all over Japan are put on a boat and floated out to sea.
Originally, there was a Chinese custom of going to the waterfront on March 3, or the Peach Festival, to hold an exorcism ceremony, which was then introduced to Japan.
The shrine is also famous as a women’s power spot, offering prayers for women’s health, easy childbirth, and the fulfillment of love.
This bakery is located along the Koga-Kata Line, diagonally across from Higashi-Matsue Station on the Nankai-Kata Line. The bakery produces a wide variety of breads, including Danish, cream, and pizza breads, and new breads appears frequently.
They also have cute breads that will surely please your children!
Walking from Wakayama City Station, past the city library, the takoyaki shop Kururi, and the set meal shop Ajiiichi, you will find this store just before the crossroad near the railroad crossing. There is no conspicuous signboard, so you may easily pass by this hidden cafe, where the master with a nice smile carefully brews coffee for you. The space is stylish and retro, with soft vinyl dolls of Godzilla or Ultraman here and there, and posters of the Osaka Expo on display.
I’ve been a little busy with some large projects that are ordered at the end of each month and a few one-off projects.
During the day, when I go outside, the strong sun makes me flinch, but in my room or in the shade, it is surprisingly comfortable and a refreshing breeze blows through. It seems that I don’t need air conditioning at all in this room.
I was planning to go camping in Tomogashima when I get off work, but after checking the website, I found out that camping and barbecues are not allowed from April. It looks like I missed the timing after Wakayama Premium 2.
Still, there are campsites here and there, such as Jinojima, so I hope to make use of them during the summer first.
The sunset that I see from my room every day is breathtakingly beautiful. The sky has never been the same, not even for a day. It is really a plush view.
Hello! In Japan, the temperature has been over 35 degrees Celsius every day, but it seems to be about to peak. This summer, I don’t have many chances to go out because of the hot weather and COVID. It’s a shame for me, who likes summer the best of all seasons, so I hope I will be able to go around more freely next year. It was fortunate that more time at home gave me the motivation to renew this website. The home page now has much more information than it used to, and the header can lead you to the page about the rate and ordering process.
The home page will continue to be updated gradually. I hope you look forward to it with this blog.
Nice to meet you. Thank you very much for coming to our site. I am a freelancer who runs a translation office called Tama Transmission Office by myself and is an English-Japanese/Japanese-English translator.
The world of translation can be roughly divided into three categories: publication translation, video translation, and business translation. What I do is business translation. In short, there are various fields of business translation such as contracts, internal documents, patents, technical manuals, papers, websites, videos, game contents, etc. I translate news articles, papers, in-house materials, and culture and art. See the top page for translation examples. I lined them up little by little.
A person who once tried to pass a graduate school exam but couldn’t pass because of his poor English is now working as a translator. You never know what the future will be.
I still think that I have to improve my translation skills and English skills, but before long, I want to do Finnish translation and work as an interpreter guide. We will also gradually realize the goals we have set up.
As not so many people would read this article, I gave it a rather flat greeting. I would like to write articles focusing on translation and languages.
