Hello everyone.

This is Ryo from Sakura hostel Asakusa.

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!

Hello, everyone.

I will?write my trip to Tohoku region, Iwate.
Do you know how Iwate is?
I will show you it.

This is somewhere of Morioka which is a prefectural capital.
Unfortunately, that day was cloudy, city was covered with cloud.

Here is Koiwai farm, here has very old history, one of the most popular farms in Japan.

Sunflower garden, hmmm, I wanted to see it on sunny day.

Archery area.
Koiwai farm has many attractions and also activities focused on family.

I walked around a farm, There is a famous tree in this area.

You might know this tree, but sorry, I couldn't find a photo of tree.

You can buy natural tasty food here, such as cheese and milk.

Hello. This is Yuki.

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.

Also, you can see classic platform.

?I?had a great time in?Kagawa and Ehime.

ハロー

浅草にも春が訪れました。

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

チョコバナナ！

かわいい色。

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

バーイ

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.







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.







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.







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






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.







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.







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 !

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 everyone !



This is Tada from Sakura Hostel Asakusa.




We are going to hold lots of local tours and activities every month.
Please check them out what we did.


We've been to the Matsuchiyama Shrine
located nearby the hostel.



I went several times as I was walking around and each time I saw new things.
It is part of Asakusa and a must see when you are here.







I have always wanted to do local event and I highly recommend crossing this off your bucket list.
Shrine or temple is a must see when visiting Asakusa.







We're going to visit some local shrine or temple in Asakusa.
If you want to know real local attractions, the best way is to ask local people.







We offer the walking tour to introduce recommendable spots of the local people for you.
It might be good chance to know the place where you will stay.








Let's have a fun with us !
