Raining Season!?

The weather in Tokyo is really HOT these days, the temperature always around 30 degree in the day time. Sometimes with some raining! I don't like this kind of weather so much... Too hot, and too too much raining...

I was thinking about how less clothes should I wear in this summer time!? And, do I need to buy a pair of raining boots or shoes for the raining season!?

Anyway, I will watch these days' weather, and make the decision for shopping or not... If it's necessary, I must to buy them, right!?

The Kurobe Dam

I went to the Kurobe dam this Tuesday with my friends. This is the largest dam in Japan , and was completed in June 1963.
The construction of this dam has been called “the most difficult work of the century”, requiring seven years and 10million's men.

The view from the top is very beautiful. You can see the Japan’s Northern Alps which is covered with snow. Please visit here if you have a chance to go on a trip to Nagano.

( It is located 170km from Nagoya, 210km from Tokyo , 290km from Osaka away.)

Soushoku-kei Danshi

I saw the news on TV, and heard young generation in Japan now getting quiet and many of them are not interested in going abroad even if they got a scholarship or living cost from school.

These days, people start call young quiet boy "Soushoku-kei danshi". They are not so interested in hunting girls, shopping, or anything which usually young boys like. They are just satisfying with living in little society and not prefer to have a communication with other people.

Our guesthouse have many guests from all over the world and they are having fun to be in abroad. So I personally think that going abroad or to have communication with other people who have different culture make young people(even not young people) to have far-sighted.

Of course the other way, to think deep inside of heart is also important. But unless when we live in the human society, we need to live with someone on this world. Especially now these days, this world became smaller and smaller. So I think it`s getting more important to make a balance between one person and the society of this world.

Anyway, I feel little sad young people are not interested in going abroad these days. Because of that I had a lots of fun and beautiful memories when I went for traveling or living in other country.

I hope more people get interested in going different world and feel different culture.

And also I want to go somewhere again soon...

イカセンター

It was another really special experience for me! I went to the restaurant(or maybe Izakaya!?) named, イカセンター. Yes, it's squid!

Almost all the dishes are made from squids! Also the fresh one... I mean, without cook...

I was very surprised, becouse they just took the squid out from the fish tank. Then, cut it, after that, it's on our table! How fresh it was! It's really cool, also tasted good!

The fish tanks in the restaurant.

The fresh squid!

I know the fresh fish dishes are very popular and common in Japan, but it's my first time to try the fresh squids... It was a nice experience, also very interesting!

Kurumed Coffee in Nishi-kokubunji

I went to Nishi-kokubunji on monday for an kind of bussiness meeting.
It was first time for me to visit there. I only saw south side around the station, and I felt it`s organized bed town.

I met people in Kurumed Coffee where is about 1min walk from the station. And I was so surprised about that kind of cafe is existing there!

I love cafe, it`s special time for me to spend the time with just reading or thinking nothing with tastey coffee.

I thought it would be great if this kind of cafe is in Nakano. But I also thought this cafe is beautiful since it`s here in Nishi-Kokubunji.

Museum of YEBISU BEER

I went to the Yebisu Beer Museum yesterday. This museum is in the Yebisu Garden Place where near the Ebisu Station. From the station, you can use the Yebisu Skywalk to go to the Garden Place.

The entrance of the Beer Museum. You can see two big cans of beer.

I attended the 40-minute Yebisu tour.

The tour start from the Yebisu Gallery area, they showed us some old pictures and some bottles of beer they produced before.

After the gallery area, they took us to their Communication Stage for the beer tasting! At first, they explained how to make beer, and show some pictures to let us find the different between two. Then, they gave us one glass of beer to taste.

Also told us some interesting things in the same time. Like for Cheers, we have to say, Yebisu~

After the first one beer, they gave us the second one to comparing two varieties of Yebisu.

It was a really nice and interesting tour in Yebisu Beer Museum! The tour in gallery area is FREE. And only 500 Yen, you can taste two varieties of Yebisu beer! If you like beer so much, then you must visit this museum!

"Fun" is in Travel. TOKYO.

"Fun" is in Travel

FOOD

"Delicious!!"

This is the time in travel to meet one of the fun of a Travel. And it makes "travel fun and memorable." when it comes to eating delicious food

And yet, if it is "cheap" and "fun" to eat delicious food, you get the best travel memories. If you have a chance to go to Tsukiji market in Tokyo, "Edogawa" is one of the place for you to encounter big 3. You may find "delicious=quality", "fun=even for us Japanese" and "cheap" at Edogawa.

They have sea food that even old Japanese will say "Delicious!!"
