I am relaxing at an Izakaya, a traditional Japanese pub in my town with sushi, sashimi, deep-fried fish cake, and bamboo shoots. What a nice evening!

The Tokyo Tower! I love its red color and stylish form, although now the Tokyo Skytree is becoming more popular.

The Yokohama Night Cruise is an amazing experience. The night view of the Yokohama Bay area from the sea is gorgeous, and the white lights of factories are so great!

Yokohama is a modern city, just south of Tokyo. You can find it to be a beautiful, exotic port town. It sits between cen

Tourists coming to Japan may be afraid the rainy season in June may ruin their trip experiences. But the Sensoji temple in Asakusa, which shines after rain at night, impresses us so much. Asakusa at night provides a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere. I paste the link to the previous blog post about Asakusa at night. Please see my blog below!

June may be the best season to visit Kamakura. Because of the hydrangeas in Hase Temple, the green colors of moss and bamboo shining on a rainy day are another reason for me.

One of the best one-day trips from Tokyo is to Kamakura, about 90 minutes away from Tokyo station by rapid train. Kamaku

It’s Matcha time at home. I selected a tea bowl, Tsukiyono-yaki, White, crafted by Yutaro Fukuda, my father’s old friend. Mt. Akagi is depicted in the front face.
I have not yet learned how to make Matcha in detail, but I enjoyed my calm and peaceful mind so much while making and tasting it.

I made matcha at home this morning. While making it, I feel calm, maybe because of the beautiful green color and the good smell of matcha. I also attached a link to an English video about a tea ceremony experience. https://youtu.be/Z66ou1pfTOE?si=ZeVdaLltvY3nOQw6

We are enjoying an Izakaya night with Katsuo No Tataki, fresh bonito sashimi slightly grilled skin, and Jakoten, fried fishcake. The Izakaya, Shoku Doraku in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, is open 24/7. Worth visiting to feel the vibes of the Japanese drinking style.

Glass ball artwork, called Tombo Dama, dragonfly’s eye, has been one of the traditional handmade crafts since the samurai era in the 17th in Edo, ancient Tokyo. The shop in Asakusa offers you the experience of making it. It’s worth trying.

The Wisteria Festival in the Kameido Tenjin shrine in Tokyo is on now. Hanging wisteria blossoms look like purple chandeliers under the trellis. The shrine opens at night during the festival, and all the wisteria trellis are lit up. So don’t miss it if you are visiting Tokyo now.

Kyu-Furukawa Gardens in Tokyo offer an impressive combination of traditional Japanese garden scenery and Western-style taste. It's worth visiting when you are traveling to Tokyo. I love this cozy but gorgeous garden.

I posted a new topic on my blog; “A Three-Garden Tour in Tokyo” Part 2: Rikugien, An Authentic Samurai Lord-style Garden in Tokyo

Sake, a Japanese liquor brewed from rice, is on the tap! A 100-yen coin serves 30 ml of sake just outside the JR Kawasaki station. It's a kind of sake vending machine. I posted a video about how to use it in my blog. Enjoy it!

If you have time until your flight departs from Haneda Airport, I recommend you visit the shopping mall, Atre, at the JR
