Presenting July Box: Taste of the Sea
Marine Day, also known as "Umi no Hi" (海の日) in Japan, is a national holiday that celebrates Japan’s ocean and maritime activities. Unlike traditional festivals and holidays that are often associated with specific shrines or temples, Marine Day itself does not have dedicated shrines or religious ceremonies and is a relatively modern holiday established in 1996.
In appreciation of the ocean’s bounty, JAPAN RAIL CLUB’s take on Marine Day is to dedicate the month of July to feature a taste of the sea and give thanks to Japan’s yummy seafood and the snacks that come from them.
