Discovering the Origins of Kurashiki: The Story Behind the Name
The name “Kurashiki” comes from the Japanese characters “倉” (kura) which means “warehouse”, and “敷” (shiki) which means “spread out”. The name is a reference to the city’s original function as a centre of commerce, where goods were stored in warehouses along the canals and spread out for distribution. The “shi” at the end, “市”, is a common ending for city names in Japan. So, “Kurashiki-shi” can…

Japan Court Rules Trans Man Can Change Gender Marker Without Surgery
Them reports:
A Japanese court this week approved a transgender man’s legal gender change without first requiring sterilization, marking a major step forward for trans rights in the country.
Takakito Usui, 50, won recognition of his gender before the Okayama Family Court’s Tsuyama branch on Wednesday. “I want to thank my family. I feel a new life is beginning,” Usui, a farmer living in the rural Yamagata Prefecture, said at a press conference on Wednesday following the ruling.
Usui previously petitioned to change his legal gender in 2016, the paper noted, but was rejected because he had not been medically sterilized, as was then required under Japanese law. In October, Japan’s Supreme Court struck down the 2003 statute requiring trans people to be sterilized before obtaining legal recognition.

Light pollution ruins dark skies. It's a scourge that ground-based observatories have to deal with in one form or another. Scientists used a small observatory in Japan to measure what changed when a nearby town improved its lighting practices. They also noted the challenges it still faces.
Bisei Town lies in a semi-rural area in the southwestern part of Okayama Prefecture in Japan. It's a designated dark sky place and the locals are adamant about keeping their view of the stars. However, they still have to contend with light pollution from other cities in the region. The town itself has several astronomical observation posts, including the Bisei Astronomical Observatory. That facility sports a 101-cm telescope, along with smaller instruments, and is open to the public for sky viewing year-round.

Chūgoku Region

Ashido: "Ohoo~! Have I got a scoop on a summer fling!?"
All Might: "I have come to rubberneck!! ...not! Let's go, Young Ashido!"
Yaoyorozu: "Since Kaminari-san has overslept again this morning, please be careful as the class representative."
Iida: "Indeed! After all, disturbance of life's daily rhythm is no good."
Narrator: "The class president was simply communicating with administration."
Hakuto Coast is a magnificent beach beside a shrine famous for being the location of the so-called "first love story" wherein the white rabbit (the shrine's namesake, 白兎) played matchmaker for deity Ōkuninushi and princess Yagami after Ōkuninushi advised the rabbit on how to heal its wounds. The shrine specializes in matchmaking charms and the area is considered a "lovers' sanctuary."

Shouji: "What an incredible slope!"
Iida: "Aah, this will be hard, but at the top of that slope a spectacular view of the ocean and a sense of accomplishment await you... Give it your all, Engine!! You can do this!"
Kaminari: "You're empathizing with the engines!?"
Eshima Ohashi is famous for being photographed in ways that distort its true slope gradient, making it appear insanely steep. It's steep, but not insanely so! I guess Iida identifies with engines.

Best Jeanist: "Don't give me the cold shoulder. Just say the word and I'll coordinate any number of jeans outfits for us!"
Bakugou: "I WAS JUST PASSING BY, ALL RIGHT!!!"
Kaminari: "Now, now, now..."
Mineta: "C'mon, you can be honest!"
Kojima Jeans Street is a popular tourist destination in Kurashiki City, as it has been dubbed the birthplace of blue jeans in Japan from its first production in the 1960s. Kacchan is in denial--accept your fate and wrap yourself in the weft of rich indigo!!

Kaminari: "Hey! Just a minute ago it was on land, now it's under water!?"
Bakugou: "It's just high tide, ain't it!!"
Sero: "Ohh, right, the whole thing with the moon's gravity. So, it sinks once every day?"
Bakugou: "High tide comes twice a day, don't it!! Go back to kindergarten and start over, you pieces of trash!!"
Visiting Itsukushima Shrine, whose torii entrance appears to be floating in the water at high tide and is made out of decay-resistant camphor wood. The shrine buildings themselves are built up so as to not be submerged.

Todoroki: "This is from my father. Please enjoy at your leisure."
Kirishima: "'Ssanks for tha' provisions!!"
Uraraka: "Todoroki-kun, you know, you should say thanks!"
Todoroki: "It's delicious, thank you."
Uraraka: "I meant thank your dad!"
They are eating kawara soba, a unique dish in Yamaguchi which is cooked on a hot curved roof tile.

Kaminari: "Wheeeey..."
Sero: "I'd rather be a dancing idiot than a wheeey idiot!"
Crowd: "Both are idiots, so why, oh why, not dance~!"
Ashido: "Let's go, everyone!! We're all part of this!"
Tokushima's Obon festival includes the Awa dance, wherein huge crowds of people dance in procession over a period of three days. Here's an example! They also often sing a song, dating back to a popular tune from the Edo period, which says both dancers and watchers are idiots, so if you don't dance, it's your loss!
Kagawa

Uraraka: "It's anybody who's seen it, right? They won't have money problems for the rest of their life!"
Izuku: "That's a crazy face, Uraraka-san!!?"
The Zenigata Sunae in Kan'onji City is a sand sculpture depicting an old Japanese coin, called kan'ei tsūhō. It was originally constructed in 1633 by the local people to welcome a daimyō. According to legend, anyone who sees the coin will live a long and happy life and never have problems with money.

Todoroki: "What's this kind of thing about? Are we, like, BFFs now?"
Kirishima: "You said it, Todoroki! (red-faced)"
This is JR Shimonada Station, an unstaffed train station along the coast which offers beautiful views of the ocean. Kirishima is a sweetiepie, and apparently easily flustered, hehe.

Uraraka: "I'm gonna take a picture!"
Dark Shadow: "Aieee!"
Hagakure: "All righty~!"
Sero: "Looking at this kinda thing, it's like seeing a monster in a dungeon."
Jirou: "Use delicacy!!"
Ryūga Cave of Kami City is one of the biggest limestone caves in all of Japan; formed over a period of 175 million years, ancient artifacts from the Yayoi period (~300 BCE to 300 CE) have been found within it. Sero, how could you be so cavalier! Dark Shadow is a good boy!!
That wraps up Day 5, see you for Day 6!
