Konnichiwa Minnasan! Hello All! Thanks for visiting to read about my adventures in rural Japan. I lived in Shimane prefecture from July of 2004 to July of 2009 as a member of the Jet Programme. Then I went back to Shimane from October 2010 to February 2016 to teach at a Japanese university. Now I teach history at a private high school where the Japanese students learn in English. Thanks for stopping by!

RJL Vlog #6 - IzumoTaisha at Midnight - New Year's Eve 2009 - Part One
Part ONE of three vlogs I'll make about my New Year spent at IzumoTaisha shrine in my town.
I believe the arrows are to drive away any demons that would like to visit your home in the coming year. So they are a sort of anti-bad-luck charm. I'm not entirely sure but i think this was the main purpose of those arrows.
