When it rains so hard, and there’s no indoor “things to do around the area, you do random dance moments and sprain your back in pain

Took three kids to the Kawasaki Good Times World, which is within the Kobe Maritime Museum today.
The toughest part was to make the eldest one to move away from the video game corner.

Got invited by to join their Voice Acting experience. Their instructor/in house voice actresses and Shiori san immediately recognised that I had voice training experience 😅
It was definitely a fun and worthy trip. Available in English, and a very fun experience for visiting tourists who loves anime. Also available are their cyalume dance experience and cosplay experience.

Available for all my clients with tokyo region itineraries.
Thank you for making this possible.

Umi Hotaru - Sea Firefly
A highway parking area with a stunning seaview, in the middle of the sea.
Designed like a cruise, Umi Hotaru Parking Area is a rest stop on the Tokyo Bay Aqua Line which connects southern Chiba Kisarazu area to Haneda Airport with a direct semi-bridge semi- sea tunnel straight line.

Did you know that apart from the 5th station from Subaru Line, there are also 3 other ways to access to another different 5th stations. Namely Yoshida line, Subashiri trail line and Fujinomiya line.

The mountain actually sits in between two prefectures, and the most common access for tourists visiting the 5th station is the Subaru Line via bus or cars, coming in from Yamanashi Prefecture near Kawaguchi Lake Another trail, which is commonly available for tourists to hike up to the summit, is the Yoshida trail.
Other trails comes in from Shizuoka Prefecture (Fujinomiya) and (Subashiri).

Currently, the yoshida trail is the ONLY trail available for hiking up to the summit, and requires advance booking.

Amasake Teahouse 甘酒茶屋
Very hidden in Hakone, a lovely old school place for good mochi, Amasake and tea.
Amasake is a traditional japanese sweet drink, made from semi-fermented rice. Despite its name, it has no alcohol content.

The building itself was a hut made from straws and wood, until recent years its refurbished and strengthened with concrete cement. The old-school traditional architecture was kept, and thus the straw roof. The BBQ spot functions as a heater, as well as for robatayaki cuisine, cooking Houtou noodles, or simply boiling water to create steam so that the room has some moisture in the winter.

Rule no.13 of Fushimi Inari Taisha:
No photography for commercial purposes or in prohibited areas.
I didn’t break that rule. I’m genuine here to return the godly favors.

Rule no. 16 of Fushimi Inari Taisha:
Do not Prevent worshippers from passing by taking photographs/filming on narrow paths.
I didn’t break that rule. I patiently waited for the moment to capture an empty Senbon Torii path.

Finding my own personal Torii which was written by a monk master on 1st Jan this year half a year later brings me more prosperity, or at least thats what I would like to believe in. I’m grateful blessed, to find the Torii right next to the shrine.

Amanohashidate 天橋立
One of Japan’s three scenic views, absolutely breathtaking. (And Mt fuji isn’t even among these three)
The contrast of the sky, the sea, and the stretch of sandbar resembles a dragon in the sky (see pic 6).
It is almost 2 hour drive from Kyoto though, thus the tourist crowd aren’t very large. Perfect for a day tour out just for this scenery

Leaking out my top Mt Fuji attraction - Tenka Chaya 天下茶屋
Located at the top of Misaka pass, right by an off road old tunnel, is this 90 year old building.
In my opinion, not only they serve the most authentic Houtou noodle, the 2nd floor also houses a mini museum for Dazai Osamu, famous novelist and writer in the 1940s. In fact he wrote his most popular book “No longer Human 人間失格” right here.

I have nothing but love for this place, and it’s a must go for all my tour itineraries.

Not forgetting this is way higher up than the Panorama Ropeway, which is exactly why I said no need waste money and time to queue to get up to some shorter hill when we can drive up this one for free.

Koi Nobori 鯉昇り - Meaning Karp Streamer.
A kite-flying event to celebrate Childrens’ day in Japan.
Yes! It’s childrens’ Day today!
And here is a white karp I found in the streams of Yamanaka Lake, it turn out that other than Swans, there’s karps in the lake too!
Koi nobori means “the climbing karp”, and this one fits the theme perfectly! Climbing up Mt fuji I guess?
