I have been writing an article about hiking on Takao Mountain.

After arriving top of mountain, of course we need to go down next.
I choosed route 1 for going back

There are temples on half of the way

Tengu, kind of Japanese fairy.

We can avoid bad luck if going through the hall

And then ringing the bell to make bad luck away.

Here is a cable car.
I got on this from halfway due to tiredness....

Before taking a train, I ate Red bean soup, Oshiruko!
So yummy, It made my body warm!

 

Takaosan is good place for hiking!

Let's start with Dogo beer. Just kidding.

Anyway, this beer tasted so good.

Uchico is a comfortable town.

It takes about 40 minutes from Dogo onsen by car.

You can see old Japanese districts.

ハロー

浅草にも春が訪れました。

20190320_4.jpg

さてさて。

インドから陽気なゲストMANSIちゃんがチェックインしたので

仕事終わりに浅草寺を一緒に散策しました!

ベジタリアンだから食べられるものが少ないのが日本。。

そんななかMANSIちゃんが初めて口にしたローカルフードは

20190320_1.jpgのサムネイル画像

チョコバナナ!

かわいい色。

20190320_2.jpg

20190320_3.jpg

おみくじを引いてみたり(大吉だった!!)、

日本の自動販売機でドリンクを買ってみたり、

浴衣レンタル・販売のお店を見て買おうか悩んだり、、

いつも浅草にいるからと言っても、久々に歩いてみると結構たのしかったり。。

4月にまたホステルに戻ってくるとのことなので、

その時には満開の桜がみれるといいね!

ちなみに「お花見をする」のが彼女の夢とのこと。。

We hope we will see you when cherry bloosms are in full bloom! XX

Saitama Seibu Lions Part 1 Backpackers, Hostel, Tokyo, International Exchange

Tweet

Posted by: Tada
(March 19, 2019 1:00 AM)


Hello everyone !


This is Tada from Sakura Hostel Asakusa.


I've been to the seibu dome stadium for enjoy the Japanese baseball game !


Went to the Saitama Seibu Lions vs Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles

game was pretty impressed with the venue.



I attended a Lions game at seibu dome stadium in Saitama prefecture.
The tickets were a reasonable price and the atmosphere was great.




01.JPG


I've been to a number of baseball stadiums and seibu dome stadium is my favorite.
It's a great experience for someone who has never been to a baseball game before.




02.JPG


There is no better way to spend a few hours than at a baseball game.
The Lions are doing good there is no better place to watch them than at seibu dome stadium.




03.JPG


It's even more enjoyable lately since the Lions have been winning !
The stadium itself is just breath taking.



04.JPG


This is my favorite stadium regardless if the Lions are winning or not.
All of the various different foods available make for a brilliant day out.




05.JPG


There is plenty of places to get food and it's pretty easy to find your way around and find your seats.
Good selection of food and the seats all had good views of the stadium.




06.JPG


If you're thinking of catching a baseball game, I'd highly recommend doing it at seibu dome stadium.
If you come to Tokyo, you have to come here !

Keep your glove ready !

Tokyo National Museum, preserves comprehensive collections of Japanese art works

Tweet

Posted by: Aki
(March 18, 2019 6:30 PM)


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.

DSC_0663.jpg

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!
