Arigato |
Himeji is known as White Heron Castle because of the distinctive shape formed by its white wooden tiers. It dates back to 1346, it’s perched on a hill and its maze with a defensive design is a powerful symbol of Japanese feudalism. In 1993, the UNESCO included it in the list of World Heritage Sites.
During the
visit, the family has received some fantastic news: Lydia Holmes, the politician of the family, has won the elections
in her town and she will be the next mayor. There has been an explosion of happiness
and joyful but also a sad sensation because this means that they must return to
Barcelona immediately.
Now, they’re
flying back to the Mediterranean city but before leaving Japan they've wanted
to offer gratitude to their Japanese friends: the group of Japanese girls who
have been their guides all these days. With a little reverence, like
Japanese-style, they’ve said thanks (りがとう Arigatō) and goodbye (さようなら Sayōnara).
