Descripción: 「Ciertamente, aun ahora no puedo dar el paso.」

0:14

Usualmente es así, ¿no?

La leche se enfría con un suspiro.

Pero si se mantiene cálida como el calor corporal,

decidí desayunar.

Alguien que vi una vez

me pasó a través del vidrio de la ventana.

Si fuéramos nosotros ese día, 

¿nos habríamos saludado y reído?

0:39

Lo olvidé.

Por más que juré no olvidarlo.

Es como eludir una pequeña estación de trenes.

0:52

El rollo final llama la campana de sueños.

La plataforma 5 con destino a la juventud.

Saliendo fuera de línea, acaricio mi pecho.

1:05

Estaba en el fondo de la mochila que cargaba en mi espalda.

A pesar de que era mi destino algún día.

Estoy seguro que aún quedaré parado aquí.

Parece que no me desperté a tiempo.

1:32

El camino de la brisa de verano

alineó sueños torpes.

Ah, me pregunto por qué es que nos convertimos en adultos.

1:45

Alguien que vi una vez

me pasó a través del vidrio de la ventana.

En ese día, éramos nosotros.

Nos saludamos y nos reímos.

1:57

“Por qué no despertarse de un sueño descuidado?”

Han pasado quién sabe cuántos años 

desde que he visto una cara familiar.

Parece que ni una sola cosa queda igual.

2:10

Si no es gran cosa, espero que se haga realidad.

Espero que nosotros, 

quienes no podemos ser escritos en una hoja B4,

lo encontremos algún día.

El futuro que hemos soñado varias veces

lo guardamos en un abrigo arrugado.

Seguramente, aun ahora sigues esperándolo.

Incluso cuando seas un adulto.

2:50

Te vi pasar por la puerta de entrada de mis sueños.

Aunque ni tengo una técnica para caminar.

Si se conecta a esos días

voy a ir a verte una vez más

para que no se me olvide nada.

3:19

Corre hacia la campana de tus sueños, boleto de la juventud

En la plataforma 5 del arrepentimiento.

No hay ni una cosa que nos pueda detener.

Estaba en el fondo de la mochila que cargaba en mi espalda.

A pesar de que era mi destino algún día.

Estoy seguro que aún quedaré parado aquí.

Parece que no me desperté a tiempo.

"Es más o menos así, ¿no?"

Cuando la leche se enfría con tan solo un suspiro

Alguien que una vez vi, me pasó por alto a través del cristal de la ventana

Si fuéramos nosotros ese día, ¿nos habríamos saludado y reído?

Éramos nosotros en ese día, en el que nos saludamos y reímos

"¿Por qué no despertarse de un sueño desvalido?"

Más bien, ¿cuántos años han pasado desde que vi una cara familiar?

Parece que no hay ni una sola cosa que ha cambiado

Si no es algo grande, espero que se haga realidad

Espero que lo encuentres algún día

Nosotros que no podemos ser escritos en una hoja de papel B4

El futuro con el que soñé muchas veces

However, rent can vary from cheap tiny apartments of around 10 square meters to exorbitantly priced luxury apartments in prime districts. Some of the world's most expensive land can be found in central Tokyo, which contributes to its reputation of being an expensive city.

New Years in Japan: A Niigata Family Gathering to Celebrate the New Year

It’s that time of the year again. The New Year is awaiting us, and with it, one of the most traditional seasons in Japan is around the corner. Because what Christmas is for us in Europe and the US when the whole family gathers, is what New Year celebrations are in Japan. But what kind of traditions and customs exist in Japan during New Year’s (お正月, oshōgatsu) and how do they differ from family to family?

I was lucky enough to spend the New Year’s holidays with my boyfriend’s family in Niigata Prefecture and to personally experience the traditions and customs of the holiday. And of course, I want to share these experiences with all of you.

This post contains links. Thank you so much for your support and for helping keep this blog running!

A Deep Clean to Start to the New Year in Japan

Since we had planned to go to Niigata on December 30th, more precisely to Nagaoka, our preparations for the New Year began a few days in advance.

A typical part of the New Year’s traditions is the so-called osōji (大掃除), the big clean-up before the turn of the year. Old, forgotten items are sorted out, and every corner of the house gets scrubbed clean. A house or apartment can look more like a battlefield during this cleansing to purify a room from dirt and dust collected from the old year.

Travelling the New Year’s Rush in Japan

If you plan to spend the New Year in Japan, you should be warned that, as the Golden Week holiday in spring, New Year’s is one of the most popular travel seasons, and trains will be crowded.

 Since the Shinkansen was too expensive for us, we started the journey from Tokyo to Nagaoka with the local train lines on Seishun 18 Kippu. So, a normal 2-hour Shinkansen ride became a 5 ½ hours, most of which we had to stand as we weren’t the only ones who wanted to visit their families.

 Of course, there are also cheaper options for train travel in Japan. For example, you can find more information about the Japan Rail Pass in our article about transportation in Japan.

Read more: https://cupdf.com/document/new-year-in-japan.html

 You will have to get used to a fully booked Shinkansen and overcrowded local trains at this time. Convenience stores and ATMs in more rural areas may also be closed.

 New Year Tradition of Cards and Decoration in Japan

Another integral part of the Japanese New Year is the nengajō (年賀状) New Year cards, which typically depict the zodiac animal of the coming year. The zodiac sign for 2020 is the rat, and 2021 will be the year of the Ox. Most of the pictures and decorations resembled cute mice, and we opted for small hamster-like rodents for our New Year’s cards.

 While we were taking care of the nengajō, my boyfriend’s father prepared the kagami-mochi (鏡 餅, “mirror rice cake”), which is placed in front of the kamidana (神棚), a miniature Shinto household altar. The kagami-mochi consists of two stacked rice cakes, which are rounded off by a mandarin (みかん, mikan) on the top. It represents a typical symbol of New Year in Japan.

 Read more: https://cupdf.com/document/new-year-in-japan.html

 These mochi rice cakes may not be eaten until January 11th, as they embody the god Toshigama-sama and is only appropriate to eat once the god has left the household.

Osechi Ryori: New Year Dinner in Japan

Thankfully, waiting to eat the mochi was not a big deal, as the highlight of that December 31st evening was the osechi-ryōri (お節料理). This traditional Japanese New Year food is a true feast for both eyes and stomach. The components of the osechi, as it is abbreviated, are often prepared with a lot of sugar, mirin and soy sauce to make them last longer. There’s usually so much food in an osechi meal that you can eat leftovers for the next few days after the New Year.

Read more: https://cupdf.com/document/new-year-in-japan.html

In addition to the traditional osechi, my boyfriend’s mother served us sushi, crab and various salads. As she explained to me, osechi dished differs from family to family. Local specialties dominate most of the dishes. Due to its proximity to the coast, Nagaoka has a variety of delicious seafood to offer, so it wasn’t surprising that these were generously available that evening.

New Year Games and Special TV Programs for Family

While we in Germany or other Western countries may go out for a New Year’s Eve party, New Year’s Eve in Japan is a cozy event that is spent at home with family. An integral part of the night also includes watching the numerous New Year specials on the television.

Read more: https://cupdf.com/document/new-year-in-japan.html

For my boyfriend’s family, hanafuda (花札) is a part of a typical New Year’s tradition. The “flower cards” symbolize the year’s 12 months and each card has a different value. We were so absorbed in our game that we almost missed the countdown that appeared on the TV that was playing in the background.

Midnight Tradition in the New Year with Toshikoshi Soba Noodles

By now, we would have opened the champagne bottles in Germany and hugged each other, but the transition to the New Year is a bit calmer in Japan.

 With an “Akemashite omedetō!” (明けましておめでとう), we wished each other a Happy New Year before the culinary feast continued with toshikoshi soba (年 蕎麦し蕎麦) shortly after midnight.

 Soba, or buckwheat noodles, that are an integral part of Japanese cuisine. On New Year, toshikoshi soba symbolize the transition from the old year to the new year, just as biting off the buckwheat noodles is equated with letting go of the old year.

Read more: https://cupdf.com/document/new-year-in-japan.html

 We ate them in a cold dashi broth with spring onions and some spices and sesame, but there can also be different variations, depending on the taste of the person or family.

Hatsumode: Bringing in the New Year with a Prayer

After eating toshikoshi soba, the New Year festivities continued. We put on our thick winter clothes and headed to a small shrine in the neighborhood, called the Hachimangu Shrine, for our first shrine visit of the year called hatsumode (初詣).

Next, we headed to the next shrine of Hōtokusan Inari Taisha Shrine. It is said that it was built in honor of the sun goddess Amaterasu by order of the Japanese queen priest, Himiko, who lived from around 170 to 248.

Read more: https://cupdf.com/document/new-year-in-japan.html

At the Hōtokusan Inari Taisha Shrine, we wrote our names on small paper figures called hitogata. The white paper figures symbolize a man, and the red one, a woman. In addition to our names, we also wrote down our year of birth and current age.

We then handed them over to the shrine staff, and as my boyfriend’s father explained to me, these paper figures would later be burned while the priests prayed for our health and happiness. All bad luck would be removed from us by burning the hitogata.

The New Year’s Breakfast with Ozoni and Mochi

On January 1st, the obligatory New Year’s Sale will start. Before we plunged into the crowds, the traditional New Year’s breakfast was due. And, to my great joy, it consisted of a lot of mochi!

On January 1st, the sticky rice cakes are typically eaten in a savory or a sweet way, although it is not that easy to decide which variant you’ll prefer. Also, I wanted to try the traditional New Year’s soup ozoni (お雑煮). This vegetable soup, which is prepared with dashi, contains mochi as a special side dish.

In addition to the ozoni, we also had mochi with ankō (餡子), sweet red beans paste, as well as with kinako (きな粉), a powder made of roasted soybeans. This New Year’s tradition should be eaten with caution, as reports of deaths in which people have suffocated while eating the mochi increase every year. Therefore, you should not eat them too hastily and always have tea or water by your side!

New Year Shopping and Fukubukuro in Japan

After breakfast, we went straight into the hustle and bustle of a shopping mall, where shops lured customers in with sales that pop up around the New Year. The so-called fukubukuro (福袋, “lucky bags”) are particularly popular and contain goods from a specific shop, although you won’t know what’s in your bag until you purchase one. If you want to get a fukubukuro from a popular store like Pokemon Center or Ghibli, you should go to the store before the store opens as crowds can form quickly.

Our main destination was the grocery stores to shop for the arrival of more family relatives to visit that evening. That being said, it didn’t stop me from adding a few additional items like clothes into my shopping bag.

The Unique New Year Traditions of Each Family

The traditions vary from family to family, which is why I can only speak of my personal experiences. A tradition in my boyfriend’s family is to write your personal New Year wish to accompany you throughout the year. For the first time, I tried calligraphy during my New Year experience in Japan.

Otoshidama: A New Year Gift of Money

Another common tradition is to distribute otoshidama (年玉). This New Year’s tradition is especially joyful for the children as they receive money from the family’s adults. It is customary for the youngest to receive their pocket money at my boyfriend’s family before being handed out to the older children. As the oldest, I was the last to receive my otoshidama.

Afterwards, we played bingo to bet some of our small sums of New Year money, which was very entertaining for 13 people.

Experience a Different Kind of New Year in Japan

In case you ever get the opportunity to experience the New Year celebrations with a Japanese family, take advantage of this opportunity! It was a very special experience for me to experience all the traditions and customs first hand. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my boyfriend’s family again — for the hospitality, the patience to explain everything to me and the warm welcome to their family.

Travel 2 - Hiroshima

Di Jepang ada alternatif liburan murah buat para mahasiswa yang ekonomis dan butuh hiburan. Salah satunya seishun 18 kippu yang ada setiap musim semi, panas, dan dingin. Tiket kereta murah ini bisa digunakan untuk traveling ke segala penjuru jepang dengan biaya 2370 yen per hari atau per tiket. Untuk keterangan lebih lengkap, baca di sini yaa: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2362.html

Nah karena aku adalah mahasiswa yang ekonomis dan butuh hiburan, aku berangkat ke Hiroshima tanggal 26-27 Agustus 2017. Sebenernya udah lama banget pengen ke sana, pernah sampai pesen tiket bus tapi harus dibatalin karena kerjaan lab. Makanya waktu tau ada festival kembang api di Miyajima, salah satu main attractions di Hiroshima, langsunglah aku cari penginapan di airbnb. Karena teman sepermainan lagi pada liburan ke Indonesia, jadinya aku berangkat sendiri.

Singkat cerita aku berangkat dari rumah dengan bus pertama ke stasiun JR terdekat. Total perjalanan dari rumah sampai Hiroshima sekitar 6 jam. Sesampainya di Hiroshima, aku langsung ke penginapan yang letaknya gak jauh dari Miyajima. Nama penginapannya Nara dan pemiliknya Kumi san. Begitu sampai, rasanya homy banget karena memang bentuk penginapannya itu rumah orang Jepang yang pemiliknya tinggal bareng dengan tamunya. Ternyata, ada beberapa tipe ruangan yang disewain: 1 ruangan besar buat 6 orang wanita dan mungkin 2 ruangan lainnya untuk keluarga.

Setelah beres-beres bawang bawaan, aku langsung menuju Miyajima menggunakan kapal ferry. Saat sampai di Miyajima, sudah banyak turis yang antusias ingin menyaksikan salah satu festival kembang api termegah di Jepang. Beruntungnya, aku ke sana sewaktu fase bulan baru, jadi di sore hari, air laut surut sampai pengunjung bisa menyentuh O-Torii, gerbang besar berwana oranye di Miyajima. Aku menghabiskan sunset di sana sambil duduk-duduk di spot tempat menonton kembang api, dekat dengan O-Torii.

O-Torii & sunset: perfect combo!

Sekitar pukul setengah 8 malam, panitia mulai bercerita tentang tema kembang api tahun ini. Aku sendiri gak ngerti karena bahasa Jepang yang digunakan gak lazim jadi yang aku lakukan adalah mengatur kamera dan speknya. Akhirnya setelah introduction yang panjang, festival kembang api dibuka dengan letusan pertama di belakang O-Torii. Kemudian menyusul kembang api berukuran jumbo di sisi kanan dan kirinya, sesuai dengan irama lagu yang mengiringi.

Karena keasyikan foto-foto, aku gak sadar kalau ternyata air laut mulai pasang dan sudah hampir menggenangi sepatuku. Makin lama air laut makin tinggi, memaksa para penonton mundur perlahan di sela-sela break kembang api. Terlepas dari kericuhan ini, festival kembang api di Miyajima adalah yang terbaik yang pernah aku saksikan selama 2 tahun tinggal di Jepang.

Festival kembang api Miyajima

Seperti yang sudah diduga sebelumnya, perjalanan pulang adalah yang paling merepotkan karena antrean ribuan manusia untuk menyebrang dari Miyajima. Perlu 1 jam hingga aku sampai di penginapan dengan kaus kaki basah, badan penuh keringat, dan perut kosong. Hal favorit lainnya dari penginapan ini adalah  tamu bisa masak karena ada dapur dan peralatan masak lengkap. Hari pertama di Hiroshima ditutup dengan perut kenyang berisi mie instan indo***.

Di hari kedua, aku berangkat jam 6 pagi menuju pusat Hiroshima. Kereta tram di Hiroshima itu super cute dan aku berasa lagi di negara Eropa. Aku berhenti di Atomic Bomb Dome, berkeliling di Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, dan mengunjungi museumnya. Kalau teman-teman ada kesempatan berkunjung ke museum ini, jangan lewatkan video testimoni dari saksi mata peristiwa bom atom Hiroshima. Seketika itu juga, teman-teman pasti akan merasa sedih, apalagi setelah melihat foto-foto korban. Aku bersyukur bisa melihat langsung kota yang sewaktu sekolah dulu selalu disebut guru saat materi kemerdekaan Indonesia. Perjalanan ini jadi perjalanan yang berkesan dan akan aku ceritakan ke anak cucuku nanti.
