Tokyo Trip – Driving Tour over Metropolis
I think the best traveling way in Tokyo is taking trains and walk from the nearest stations. Some say Tokyo train system is complicated but still the train routes are well organized, so soon you would be accustomed to it. But if you are familiar to Tokyo streets already, driving in Tokyo would be a wonderful trip too. In the rush hour like [...]
Travel over Japan – Kyoto, Tokyo, and beautiful spots
I'm Japanese. That's why my comment here is biased. I was born here and traveled a lot in the world. Also I saw nice countries, nice people, and unique cultures.

X JAPAN Keeps on Rocking the World

Okinawa's ocean is truly transparent and its beaches are speechlessly wonderful with white sands and warm winds. People of Okinawa is extremely [...]

Now it's winter in Japan. Being in a cold season, we often think taking a travel bag to depart to beautiful southern island, Okinawa. Also I especially listen to this song, Nada Sou Sou, by a beautiful female singer, Rimi Natsukawa. Nada Sou Sou means that tear drops and this song conveys the feeling how beautiful the life in Okinawa [...]

As we all know, there is a world [...]
Joe Hisaishi Paris Concert
Joe Hisaishi gave a concert in Paris in June this year, 2011. I didn't check if the concert was good or not. Recently I found many videos on YOuTube, and it seems to have been an extremely nice one. Looking at the video, easily we notice that many are enjoying it with much emotional move. Thinking of myself back in 1980's when [...]
