Wakana and Ayaka Kikuchi have been appointed
tourism ambassadors for the city of Matsuyama, the capital of
Ehime Prefecture (one of the four prefectures of Shikoku- the smallest
of the four main islands).
Matsuyama has a hilltop castle, the oldest hot spring in Japan,
and has many connections to the Japanese literary world-
* Soseki Natsume's novel 'Botchan' was written after his experiences in Matsuyama
* Shiki Masaoka, considered the "Father of Modern Haiku Poetry" was born in Matsuyama
* Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum, based on the novel by author Ryotaro Shiba, is Matsuyama
* Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Kenzaburo Oe, was born in Osemura (Now part of the Town of Uchiko), not far from Matsuyama, and attended high school in Matsuyama.
Now, let's watch Wakana and Ayaka:
