[Cruising departing from Yokohama] Introducing 3 recommended tour plans, from cruise ships where you can enjoy the night view and meals to overnight cruise trips!

2019/05/29

Cruises have become popular recently, with trips around the world and cruising to see night views becoming popular. The crucial difference between a cruise and a trip by plane or bus is that you can spend your time comfortably on the cruise ship. You can feel as if you are anchored at a villa on the sea, and you can enjoy an elegant time in a room with a view of the sea!! In this way, a cruise trip is not just a "way to get to your destination", but also a "comfortable boat trip". On planes and buses, you have to carry a heavy bag and be careful of theft. However, on a cruise trip, there is no such hassle! You can go sightseeing in the port towns you stop at along the way empty-handed. Since it is not impossible to travel empty-handed, cruising is the best way to go around the world.

I want to spend a luxurious time on a romantic two-day, one-night Christmas cruise aboard the Asuka II.

2018/12/07

Hello everyone who is watching Activity Japan. I drew a bad fortune at Sensoji Temple. This is Shishimaru. It's not often that something like this happens, right? It's a lucky feeling, isn't it? Will I be able to spend this Christmas with a wonderful person? Will I be able to window shop in the gorgeous city of Tokyo, where illuminations shine, and enjoy a stylish dinner at a restaurant with a beautiful night view? I thought that such wonderful things might happen, so I should plan my Christmas carefully. I think the best thing to do would be to watch a movie at United Cinema Toshimaen, then skate at Toshimaen, and drink a lot at a yakitori restaurant, but I've looked into a more romantic plan, so I'd like to introduce it to you.

Yokohama's fireworks festival! The second survey of "Yokohama Sparkling Twilight 2018" held on July 14th and 15th!!

2018/06/21

As for the price, this plan is 800 yen cheaper. And it's worth noting that there is a child's price. The plan I introduced the other day was 12,800 yen per person for both adults and children, so for a family of four it would be 51,200 yen. Wow, that's expensive! Over 50,000 yen! Wait, this is a fireworks display, isn't it? A fundamental question has arisen in my mind. It would be one thing if you were eating a fancy meal, but both plans are bento boxes, right...? The other plan is a bento box from a restaurant called "Shigoroku Saikan" that looks a little delicious, but I'm also curious about the fact that this plan only says "Western-style bento box".

Yokohama's fireworks festival! Let's take a boat ride to enjoy the "Yokohama Sparkling Twilight 2018" held on July 14th and 15th.

2018/06/18

I've been to the Yokohama fireworks festival, but I haven't seen this event yet. It seems like a boat decorated with illuminations will appear on the sea, and you can enjoy a competition with the fireworks. It looks gorgeous. It's a challenging project in a sense, with light clashing with light. It seems like about 3,000 fireworks will be launched to fantastic music. It seems a lot less impressive compared to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, which has about 20,000 fireworks, but it's still 3,000 fireworks!

Experience authentic MTB (mountain biking) in Hakone! We've found a recommended plan that will give you a great view of the scenic course that changes with the seasons on the west shore of Lake Ashi!

2018/06/12

Hello to everyone reading Activity Japan! Last time, I posted a blog about a recommended mountain bike tour in Hakone that I've been paying attention to because I wanted to ride the new Odakyu Line Romancecar "GSE". This time, I'd like to introduce a plan that challenges a slightly more serious MTB (mountain bike) course than the last one, which is being held by the same shop, "Hakone Mountain Ripper", after researching the price, service details, and content! It's the best activity for the coming summer ◎

Enjoy the nature of Hakone on an MTB (mountain bike) cruise! Cycle around the tourist spots!

2018/06/11

When you go to Hakone, you can take the mountain railway, eat at the hotel, go to hot springs, go to the Hakone Open-Air Museum, visit Sengokuhara, visit Lake Ashi, etc. There are many standard ways to enjoy it, but I thought I would like to enjoy outdoor activities that allow me to fully enjoy the vast nature of the Hakone forests, and while I was researching, I discovered a tour that allows you to cycle (mountain bike) around power spots such as Hakone Shrine, said to be the guardian deity of Hakone, and Kuzuryu Shrine, said to be home to the god of matchmaking. It seems to be a popular plan for female groups and couples, but as a man in his 30s, I totally want to do it! lol

2018/05/13

Hello to everyone who visits Activity Japan! I've been concentrating on researching activities at Lake Yamanaka lately, and I've finally decided on the activities I want to try. Then, a friend invited me to the "Yokohama Port Opening Festival" to be held in Yokohama on Saturday, June 2nd, so I looked into the event and found out that it's also a popular annual fireworks display, so I looked into the "fireworks viewing cruise" plan. I don't like fireworks displays because they're crowded and there are a lot of people, but I've always wanted to see them from a boat, so I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to invite my friends too.
