I looked up a bit more about Nanko plums. [image] Minabe Plum Grove, Wakayama – PHOTOGUIDE.JP Here’s my reference for the fish/shellfish in Lake Shinji. In particular I think Jisho is misleading for あまさぎ which it translates as an egret (type of bird). I think t…

Thanks for the additional info, those were all sections I was having trouble with! I’m still a little unsure about these, but here are some attempts at translations: Wakayama Prefecture: ▶ Summary Tottori Prefecture: ▶ Summary Shimane Prefecture: ▶ Summary Okayama Prefecture: ▶ Summary
