Hi ya!

When travelling abroad, do you go to museum in there?

Just going as the option when raining?? 　

Well, from the standpoint of art, museum is worth going to see their culture, isn't it?

So, when in Tokyo, I recommend you to pay a visit Tokyo National Museum

in Ueno, Tokyo.

Tokyo National Museum is the oldest Japanese museum, established in 1872,

exhibits comprehensive collections of Japanese art works

from ancient times to modern times.

The museum holds more than 110,000 objects

includes 87 national treasures and 634 important cultual properties.

In the national treasures, you'd be able to see samurai's armours

and swords.

Cool, isn't it?

You'd be also surprised that the swords are absolutely well-preserved

and seem still good quality for use :D

Well not only for person who is very much into samurai related,

also highly recommended for one of the places for sightseeing.

Don't miss out when in Tokyo.

See ya!

Hello everyone.

The other day, I went up to the look out deck of SkyTree!
Do you know SkyTree?
This is new antenna tower of Tokyo.

Tower, at night.
Normally, it is colorful lighted up in many patterns.

Look!

This is the view of the deck.

So scary!(haha

Unfortunately, little cloudy on that day.

That area is center of Tokyo, business buildings.

Hmmmm, Such a massive city.

Tokyo tower is still there.
We still love Tokyo tower as well!

That is Arakawa river.

My house is around there.

It is good to see my town from upper side sometimes

Hello. This is Yuki.
Let's continue to talk about my Shikoku Travel.

After I left Shodoshima, I've visited Ritsurin Garden.
You can take a scenic walk.

There are lots of paths that you can walk.
Even though you choose the shortest one, it takes one hour.

Scenery is beautiful, so you will forget the time.

I was headed to Ehime prefecture.
It took about 2 hours and half from Kagawa prefecture.

Dogo Onsen is one of Japan's oldest hot springs.





You can't miss it if you go to Ehime.
Also, tangerine tasted so good. You should try.

I got relaxed so much.

To be continued.

Hello everyone.

?

This time, I will introduce you my favorite spot Mizumoto park.

This park is located in Katsushika district, closest station is Kanamachi, and there is a bus from station to park.

Muzu means water, so this park is well known as water park.

In fact, here is the biggest water park in Tokyo districts.

Here is photos, have a look!

Wide river between Tokyo and Chiba prefecture.
Opposite shore is not Tokyo.

Autumn beauty.
Red trees there.

A bird watching fishing.

Funny shot.

Usually this park has only a few visitors.
Good area to make my feeling refreshed.

Huge playing area.

Pond is everywhere.

Contrail

Mizumoto park is such a nice place to take a rest.

How about visiting there when you feel tired by busy life.

Hi ya!

When going around Tokyo, using a train like Metro or JR line is the best transport,

even for tourists go sightseeing.

Of course, you know using by bike or just walking around would be a fun option

but if you like to go to Asakusa and Odaiba,

using a boat crusing Sumida river and Tokyo bay would be a good option.

The cruise, called TOKYO CRUISE

connects Asakusa and Odaiba has some boats include absolutely unique ones :)

Cool, doesn't it? :D

The boat like space ship is produced by Leiji Matsumoto,

a creator of several famous anination series,

"Space Battle Ship Yamato" or "Galaxy Express 999" and so on.

This called "Hotaluna" is the advanced boat with a roof deck

where you can enjoy the good scenary of bayside area with feeling sea wind.

Would be absolutely comfortable moments if it's sunny day like this pic.

Of course, loads of seats are available inside where you can take with drinking beer :D

So if you're planning to go to Asakusa and Odaiba in a day,

this transport is highly recommended.

After enjoying the spaceship,

real sized Unicorn Gundam stands in Odaiba

is waiting for you to make your day :D

Ah, of course there's a boat from Odaiba to Asakusa to come back, though.

See ya!

The weather in Tokyo remains cold for weeks.

When it's cold, you miss the warm weather.

A couple of months ago, I went on a little vacation to Cebu, Philippines.

Nice and warm wheather!

I went to this place called Oslob where you can see whale sharks up close.

I was overwealmed with the size of the shark!

I saw the turtle too!

I've had enough of this cold wheather in Tokyo.

I can't wait for summer to come!
