4-H World Citizenship - Temple, my home, and maps




This is a picture of the Temple where I live, it is newly built. I am at the front of the temple, standing in the parking lot.













Building front garden covering the kitchen building. The trees and plants are all freshly planted.

















Walkway to the main Temple.
















The kitchen, eating room and sitting room on the left, walkway, main Temple building on the right, it has the computer room, praying room and "altar"















Side of two car garage and walkway to the family house door and panel with mailbox..., also walk way from the house door to the music room which it has a double door inside and is sound proof.











This panel has name, box with camera and intercom, slot for mail.











This picture is of the main part of the Temple.















This picture is
the back of family home (on the right) beside the temple.













Before I left
for Japan, I had many people ask me questions about the "facilities," I also had many people tell me their experiences! So, I am going to explain how the one where I live works. Please keep in my that my host family home and temple are both newly built!


(in my family's home)
It opens on it's own when you open the door, it heats up when you sit on it, there is a panel on the wall, telling you the time, temp, and has several buttons (for the spray there is a girl button, boy button, and an extra strong button; their is an extra flush button and a close and open button in case of a malfunction; their is a tiny water faucet (not in this picture) and a small hand towel, no soap), it flushes as soon as you stand up and it closes when you open and close the door on your way out. All together, it is maybe 2 feet wide and 4 feet long. Also, many families in Japan like the function of singing toilets, not my family.

In other places, there are singing toilets and also, holes in the floor (which sadly I had to use one time, :/ but I guess it's a good thing so I can tell people that I have had that experience).

















Also, here are some pictures that show the Islands of Japan, I am on the Island of Kyushu (South). The nearest large city close to where I live is Fukuoka, on the northwest side of the island.







I am on the south island named Kyushu. And the last picture shows my Island in detail with Fukuoka at the Northwest side.
