My hometown is Koriyama. In the city,there is Koriyama Castle, which was built by Hidenaga Hashiba who was Hideyoshi Hashiba's brother. In Augast, the festival named Oshiro Mathuri is held around the castle. In the festibal, there are a lot of shops on the road and many people visit from children to elderly people. It has held 53 times ever. And in April too, there is a festival. This year, I passed the entrance examination, so I went to the this festibal with my friend of my highschool days.
 Also, near the castle, there is the building named Koiyamajo hall. A lot of lecture meetings and concerts are held in this hall. Before some days, local basketball team Bambitious Nara came to the hall. Bambitious Nara was founded this year and is Nara's first basketball team so many people expect this team to be more famous and win the game against other local teams. And this hall includes library, so on the day events are not held, many people visit. When I was junior high school student, I sometimes used. When I was a elementary school student, our school's concert was held in this hall, so it is good place for me.
 My home town has many histrical places so it is very tasteful. I don't like but love this town !!
