While I was in Ibaraki last month I picked up the Gotochi cards for the prefecture. I had received one before as a Postcrossing, but I managed to get most of the others.
Here are the first three Gotochi cards that I bought.

This building was built as a place for deep thought. It was built by Tenshin Okakura and he fell in love with the area when he visited the beach and built his vacation house.
It was swept out to sea by the tsunami in 2011 but has since been rebuilt.

Gotochi cards are a nice way to learn about Japanese culture, aren't they?
I'm afraid I wouldn't try natto...
Gotochi cards are a terrific way to learn about the culture here...and also each individual prefecture. For me, because I wasn't born here, I don't have the background knowledge about each area that a Japanese person would.
And I have tried natto...twice. That was two times too many ;-)
