Hometown





My hometown is Mutsu city in Aomori prefecture. My hometown sets my mind at ease, so it is important to me.
Mutsu city is located in the northernmost part of Honsyu, and its population is 64,000. It snows every year in winter and it blow a cool breese called Yamase in summer so it is not too hot. The fishing industry flourishes there, and particularly scallops are famous. There is a skiing ground so we can enjoy skiing in winter.
The night view is very beautiful. It is called ‘diamond butterfly’. From the observation deck we can see a very nice night view. It is used in a tradition card game called shimokita karuta. So the night view is seen by everyone.
My hometown is surrounded by sea on three sides in Shimokita peninsula. The access isn’t convenient, but we spend happy days because it is a comfortable place to live.
A famous movie star called Matsuyama Kenichi is from Mutsu city. He is six years older than me. When I was 11 years old, I knew him. He appeared on popular movie dramas in those days. He became a famous actor in 2006 in the movie Death Note. He continues to perform, and he is the pride of our city.
The name of Mutsu is the first name of a municipality that is written in hiragana letter in Japan. It is used in Shimokita karuta. All people who live there know about it. So hiragana name is striking. We are proud of it.
Mutsu city is a very small city but there are many special things. So I think often about going back home. When I will go back home in summer vacation, I will have a good time.
