Matsushima

Posted by: Takeshi

August 30, 2011 03:07 AM

ciao a tutti. oggi da noi abbiamo una cliente espagnola che aveva appena visitato

Matsushima(prefettura di Miyaghi).

pensate che abbia fatto il turismo? si' un po,in realta' si e' recata per attivita' volotariata

per le zone colpite dal disgraziato Tsunami del 11 marzo.

Se non avesse distruttao le zone,in questo periodo ci sarebbe pieno di turisti sia giapponese che gli stranieri.perche' questa Matsushima e' uno dei tre migliori posti del Giappone(gli altri due sono Itsukushima di Hiroshima e Amano Hashidate a Kyoto.)

ma in pratica comunque adesso ci sono dei turisti anche perche' e' il periodo delle vacanze estive .

In Giappone,ci sono tanti posti belli soprattutto di natura. Non soltanto famoso Sushi e Manga...quando avete tempo di venire qui,sicuramente Matsushima e' uno dei posti da non perdere. alla prossima!

Hello all!

Have you ever been to the Imperial Palace? From Sakura Hotel you can easily to get to the Imperial Palace! It is one of the hottest spot in Tokyo. It was built by Daimyo Ota Doukan, and the Tokugawa family lived there in the Edo period. After the Meiji reform it became the Imperial Palace.

The gates are open for all except Monday and Friday. From here the Hirakawa gate is the nearest one and it only takes about 10 min on foot.

This is the Hirakawa gete:

Beautiful isn't it!

Until next time!

A slightly different past time activity.

Hello all!

One of our guests here at the hotel was sitting at the cafe for quite a long time yesterday, and it looked like she was making something. The staff got curious so we walked up to her to see what she was doing.

We found this!

Can you see what it is?

TEETH!!!

She was making teeth out of wax. A very peculiar hobby I thought.

Turns out she is studying to be a dentist. They need to know the shape of the teeth, so by making teeth out of wax, they can remember the shape!

I personally thought these teeth pieces were extremely real looking and quite cute!

I suggested she should make necklaces and other accessories out of them! Quite original if you ask me!

This is the lovely lady!

GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING! Yay TEETH!

Until next time!

Korean Drama

Posted by: Maria

Hell all!

I have a new obsession....Korean Dramas!!!

For some reason I'm really hooked on them lately... I wonder why??

I recently saw a very popular Korean drama that has also been re-made into Japanese. In Japanese it's called "美男ですよ", but the official English title is "You're beautiful".

This drama has some of Korea's most popular male actors/models/singers like Jang Geun Suk who is recently on Japanese Tv a lot. Let me remind you of who he is:

Ring a bell?

;)

I recommend this drama to those who like love comedies and those who like Korean イケメン.

Enjoy!

Until next time.

Well, the first prize goes to...

Of course, Sushi!!!

And the second best is Ramen, or Japanese noodles.

The third is Sashimi.

Taiyaki!

I don't know about you but I love cakes! Lucky for me here in Japan there are lots of delicious cake shops!

There are 2 main types of cake in Japan, the first is the kind of cake that we all think of in the west...In Japanese these type of cakes are called 洋菓子 (Yogashi) and can include cakes and biscuits that we all know and love.

The second type of cakes, or to be more precise sweet things, are called 和菓子 which means Japanese sweets. There are lots of different types, some are very plain and others are very decorative (like the ones below which are meant to be eaten with bitter green tea).

One of my favourite Japanese sweets is called たい焼き Taiyaki. Tai means sea bream, a type of fish and yaki means toasted or cooked.

It looks like a fish but actually it is like a pancake with sweet red bean paste inside!

Here in Jimbocho we have a great shop which sells really good Taiyaki!

This one is special because the outside of the fish is kept!

It is just around the corner from the hotel so if you want to try some delicious Taiyaki please ask us for directions!

Hello all!

As you know I went to Summer Sonic this year.

And I would like to show you this AWESOME T-shirt I got! (More info here)

I could FINALLY wear it today as the temperature has been dropping these past few days. Feels good!

I had to cue for 2 hours in excruciating heat to get it, so everyone better like it! It also is my first music festival memorabilia so it has very special meaning to me :)

Suits me though ey!

fresco!

Posted by: Takeshi

August 20, 2011 06:31 AM

dopo tanti giorni caldi mortali,ieri in Giappone e' arrivata l'arie fresca finalmente.

anche grazie a pioggia abbastanza forte.

anche quest'anno,ci sono stati dei morti a causa di caldo,temperatura alta.

allora un consiglio. quando viaggaiate in Giappone in estate,quando sentite

troppo caldo,vi sentite male,cercate di prendere acqua(se possibile acqua con sodio o limone tipo powerade)se vi sentite male dentro la stanza,accendete subito l'aria condizionata.

non sottovalutare il caldo nipponico! ciao a tutti buon finesettimana!
