hydrangea 紫陽花
Hey
As I said before, Japanese feel each season from flowers. Like Cherry blossom are sing of Spring.
Now It's the middle of TSUYU, the rainy season before real summer. A sign of TSUYU is hydrangea here in Japan. I don't know other countries case.
Those days I can see so many kinds of hydrangea from all over the world.
I think the blue or pink ones in the pictures are hydrangea I used to see in Japan from child.
How about comparing with ones in your country. and then let me know the difference :D
Most flowers suit with sun very much, however hydrangea with rain is perfect match! Don't you think so too?
Here is Hakone, there are a lot of hydrangea along the railroad. So that the trains are called Ajisai densya, Hydrangea train! Sounds lovely, doesn't it?
dried herring にしんの干物
Herring is famous for Hokkaido! Usually we eat dried herring.
It very suits with beer :D
Try some when you are in Hokkaido!
Shretoko cruising 知床遊覧船
elephant rock |
tons of seabirds |
falls |
the Shiretoko Peninsula is long! Only some boats can go to around the tip, and then no road on the land. that's why the Shiretoko Peninsula has the untouched natural environment.
During cruising you can see a lot of beautiful nature and if you are lucky, you could see bears.
Not forget bringing a telescope!
By the way, in mid winter, drift ice are coming. I think every season of Shiretoko is beautiful to see it.
Lake Shiretoko Goko 知床五湖
Lake Shiretoko goko, which means five lakes of Shiretoko
You may encounter some bears during walking around lakes!
Before start walking, you need to have a lecture about bears.
Around all lakes of the trail is easy to walk and flat.
Enjoy hiking here :D

Speaking of Hokkaido...
FOOD is super. I'm sure many people go to Hokkaido to enjoy food.
I know everywhere Japan is basically high standard of delicious food, but Hokkaido is much better than other areas. I bet :D
You need to be ready to put on some weights during trip!!

Souunzan, Hakone 箱根 早雲山
Souunzan area, HAKONE, here is National Park of Japan
Convenient access from Tokyo and lots of beautiful nature
I really recommend that you choose here as one of the destinations in Japan.
Take time to see around all of Hakone for a few days, because Hakone has some areas you should see.
school uniform 制服
Hi,
Did you have some school uniform when you were a student?
I think many schools of Japan have still own uniform.
Everyone put on same things as other students.
Same as otheres is a kind of good thing here in Japan.

Fujiyama and Shinkansen 富士山と新幹線

FUJIYAMA from shinkansen |
Hey, all
Did you hear yet? FUJIYAMA is going to be world cultural heritage! Sounds awesome?
I think there are so many places where you can see Mt Fuji.
One of the way is taking SHINKANSEN! If you are planing to go down to Kyoto from Tokyo, try this way! tips are....better to take KODAMA-Shinkansen, because it's slower then Hikari and Nozomi. Also it stops Mishima Station where you can see Mt Fuji, so that you have a time to take some pictures, right? Don't ride KODAMA until Kyoto, because it takes time too much! How about changing to Hikari at Shizuoka or Hamamatsu. Another tip is that you'd better sit on seat E, window side. NOT A, ok? Seat E is always side of Fujiyama.
Climbing Mt Fuji is probably great, but just seeing from window is also beautiful.
In the last, everything is up to weather, which means up to your daily behavior :D

Mt Takao-san 高尾山

go though the ring and make a wish |
going down |
Here is Mt Takao-san. Do you think where it is?
Actually, this is TOKYO, even far from the center of Tokyo.
You can feel nature and enjoy hiking in Tokyo. In autumn, colored leaves are beautiful.
In Spring, fresh Green is also comfortable! When you are under huge stress in Tokyo, how about escaping to Mt Takao to refresh and recharge.
For your information, there is a temple on the top of the mountain!
Oshino-Hakkai 忍野八海
Mt,Fuji is over there! |

Hi all!
Take a look at those pictures!
Here is Oshino Yamanashi! Very close to Mt, Fuji as you can see the pictures.
This place is called Oshino-Hakkai. Spring water is coming up and it's very clear.
Even though here is a very small town, a lot of people from world come over to see the water.
Yamanashi is also famous for fruits such as grape and peach and wine, corn, and hot spring.
Also there are some lakes around Mt. Fuji.
Enjoy time in Yamanashi!

Here is Kanaya, Shizuoka
My first experience of taking Ooi railway.
Old style trains were very rare anymore in Japan, I think.
JR in Tokyo, all trains very new and clean, right?
Country area of Japan, there are still lots of something new for me!
For you, too!
