06/10/2023

Travel to the highest JR location with High Rail 1875 via Dense Mountains in Japan! | TheArcTurn

This train provides service along the Koumi Line, which has many attractions, such as the panoramic views of Mount Yatsugatake and other mountainous terrain, bountiful harvests from the long days and extreme temperature differences, and excellent nighttime star-gazing.

The Koumi Line, which connects Kobuchizawa Station in Yamanashi Prefecture to Komoro Station in Nagano Prefecture, also known as the Yatsugatake Kogen Line, runs at the highest elevation of any Japan Railways line. This train was named HIGH RAIL 1375 in order to highlight the high elevation of the Koumi Line, which has the highest section of “RAIL” of any JR Line at 1,375 meters above sea level, between Nobeyama and Kiyosato stations. The name was chosen in the hope that visitors will enjoy how starry the sky is when seen from the high elevation of the Koumi Line.

Inspired by the night sky of the Koumi Line and the flow of the Yatsugatake Mountains seen from the train window, the design uses the metallic texture of the train body as a canvas. For adults, the exterior design evokes a sense of setting off on a lightly nostalgic journey while for children the effect is that of embarking on an exciting adventure.

With features such as seats and logo designs inspired by the stars of the four seasons, metallic riveted window frames, and artistically decorated blackboard-like walls – the elaborately decorated interior adds excitement to your trip.

There are plenty of services related to [stars] such as the [Starry Sky Film] and [Stargazing] by starry sky guides.
​ ​
Enjoy the “train closest to the sky” inside the train and along the line.

Asakusa Samba Carnival:S2 League 8: Amigos Calientes Tokyo 2023 | TheArcTurn

The Asakusa Samba Carnival is usually a big, blown-out affair, but while the parade is finally back for 2023, it will be held on a slightly smaller scale than before.

What happens?
At Asakusa’s Samba Carnival, you are guaranteed to see the most dazzling array of beautiful telephoto lenses that you have ever witnessed — and the dancers are quite nice too!
Reflecting Japan’s close ties with Brazil (Brazil has the largest Japanese diaspora in the world), the festival sees dancers with tiny costumes and enormous feathered head dresses.

Schedule 2023
The carnival kicks off at 12:00 p.m. down Asakusa Kaminarimon Street. There will be no floats this year or contest, so it won’t last as long as other iterations.

And now a word from our man on the ground Grigoris

Best spot for photo-taking
If you care for more candid photos of the dancers, I’d suggest going either to Umemichi Dori (at the entrance of Kaminarimon Dori) where the crews make their entrance from or to Kokusai Dori (at the end of Kaminarimon Dori) which is where most exit from. You’ll miss the actual dancing but you’ll get a chance to see the dancers from up close and probably take a picture with them (if taking a picture with a 180 cm/5’9 samba queen is something you’re interested in).

Also good for such pictures are the streets running parallel to Kaminarimon Dori in the south—many crews return to their accommodations using these. By the way be prepared for a culture shock/stereotype demolition: despite their unmistakably Brazilian appearance these girls (and guys of course; I’m not making any assumptions here) are Brazilian-Japanese who either live in Japan or have flown in for the event so their Japanese is pitch-perfect.

Have a great time!

KANA's Hot Belly Dance Gala Show Arabian Festival Tokyo 2023 | TheArcTurn

7/2 (sun)
Arabian Festival 2023
Bellydance Gala Show
The Bellydance Gala Show, which was held for the first time last year, was a huge success!

This year, more powerful performers will color the main stage of Yoyogi Park in summer!

Please look forward to the stage produced by Cafe BOHEMIA, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year!

Throughout the year, Yoyogi Park hosts numerous festivals showcasing the culture of different countries and regions of the world. One such event is the Arabian Fes, which is held over two days in early July. The event serves as a celebration of the extended Middle East.

Public Domain
The event will include a sh**ha competition with 7 businesses aiming to be crowned as Tokyo's best sh**ha cafe, belly dancing performances, Arabian food available for purchase, and an Arabian market area selling handicrafts and more.

Admission to the event itself is free, but do bring some yen if you plan on making a purchase.

The Arabian Festival (or Arabian Fes as it is officially called) is coming to Yoyogi Park to celebrate the wide-ranging cultures, fashions and foods of Arab countries. The festival is being held in an effort to expand people’s notion of Arabian culture, which varies vastly from, say, Egypt to Morocco to Dubai.

What happens?
There will be belly dancing performances with prominent dancers taking to the stage. There will also be a “sh**ha competition”, presumably with different cafes competing for the title of best sh**ha.

GETTING THERE
Yoyogi Park can be accessed within five minutes on foot from Harajuku Station, served by the JR Yamanote Line. Other train stations in close walking distance include the Tokyo Metro's Meijijingumae and Yoyogi-Koen Stations.

Kabuki: The Beautiful Japanese Theatrical Art Performance at National Theatre Tokyo | TheArcTurn

Kabuki came into existence around 1603 with the arrival in Kyoto of a troupe of dancing girls led by a certain Izumo-no-Okuni, formerly a shrine maiden. Their dances created a sensation and were labelled "Kabuki" which, at that time, meant "unorthodox" or "eccentric". Such troupes of women were subsequently banned as were those of the dancing boys that took their place. They were succeeded by groups of adult men whose performances developed into Kabuki as it now exists. In the process, the original meaning of the word kabuki changed to become Ka(Song), Bu(Dance), Ki(Technique or Skill).

Kabuki originally consisted of short dances but the repertoire now is huge and is made up of both plays and dances, most of which date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Originally the principal entertainment of the urban merchant classes, Kabuki is the traditional, popular theater of Japan and continues to flourish and draw large audiences. Kabuki is also attracting increasing attention abroad and is now regarded as one of the world's great theatrical arts, remarkable for its vigour.

Story of Nihon Furisode Hajime:
The drama is set in the upper reaches of the Hinokawa River that runs through the province of Izumo (now Shimane Prefecture). Deep in the mountains where it is dark even in the daytime settled in Yamata no Orochi, a gigantic eight-headed serpent. For fear of the horrible curse of the monster serpent befalling them, villagers offered a beautiful woman as a sacrifice every year. Now, Princess Inada is sunken in grief at the upper reaches of the river, waiting to be offered as the latest scapegoat. Then comes Princess Iwanaga, who hates beautiful women. In fact, she is an incarnation of Yamata no Orochi. Attempting to attack Princess Inada, Princess Iwanaga suddenly notices the smell of sake (liquor). She empties eight sake jugs one after another, and eventually swallows Princess Inada. Then, Princess Inada’s sweetheart Susanoo no Mikoto rushes to save the princess and get back the totsuka no hōken (a sacred sword) that was once stolen by Yamata no Orochi. What Princess Iwanaga actually consumed was poisoned sake that had been prepared by Susanoo no Mikoto. Drunk on sake, Princess Iwanaga shows her true nature as that of the monster serpent and fights a fierce battle against Susanoo no Mikoto.

The mysterious and beautiful Princess Iwanaga, who reveals her true colors little by little as she becomes drunk on the poisoned sake; the dynamic fighting scene depicting the battle between the monster serpent and Susanoo no Mikoto – this year’s program is full of the gorgeous, magnificent appeals of Kabuki. Also, and the impressive musical performance livens up the drama all the more.

Nakamura Senjaku and Nakamura Toranosuke play the roles of Princess Iwanaga, actually Yamata no Orochi, and Susanoo no Mikoto, respectively, for the first time. The costarring of father and son – this is a long-awaited performance by all Kabuki fans! Prior to the main program, an easy-to-understand commentary will be given by Toranosuke through Kabuki no Mikata (How to Appreciate Kabuki).

No doubt that you will be mesmerized by the world of Kabuki by watching this Nihon Furisode Hajime, a program full of highlights, with the help of the commentary. You can also fully enjoy it without any background knowledge. We are very pleased that you have joined us!
