Mt Fuji is the most famous mountain as the highest one in Japan.
Now, have you ever heard about Mt Takao?
It is getting popular among foreigners because it got three Michelin stars last year☆★☆

There is a big beer garden on the middle of this mountain
where you can enjoy nice view with tasty beer↑↑

From Shinjuku, it takes only 50mins to get there(direct).
It's still in Tokyo, but is surrounded by greenery.

Don't worry about going home when you get drunk;)
There are both cable car and lift available.

It opens from the 1st of July and closes 30th of Sep.

Japan survived third-round elimination in first place last night.
They moved ahead to play in the final one and a drawing for group placements
will be hold on 27th of June.

Ebi-chan got a ticket for the game last night and watched it at the stadium.
Though it was rain, he seemed enjoyed himself there:)

I do hope Japan can go to South Africa in 2010!
