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!

Enjoy a pottery experience class in Gora, Hakone during your summer vacation! Make a one-of-a-kind piece of pottery in a private studio for your family or friends.

2018/06/15

This plan allows even beginners to enjoy a casual pottery experience at a pottery studio in Gora Park, located at Gora Station on the Hakone Tozan Railway. During the experience class, you can rent out the "Private Pottery Studio Toubira" and freely turn the electric wheel or hand-form pottery to create your own ceramic work. The pottery studio is set up in a modern house reminiscent of a "villa," creating an environment and space where families and groups can relax and immerse themselves in their work.

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

On Saturday, June 2nd, you can watch the Yokohama Port Opening Festival fireworks from aboard a cruise ship! Enjoy watching the fireworks for adults without the crowds!

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.

Kamakura is an hour away from Tokyo! If you want to visit beautiful scenery, you should also look beautiful yourself! I tried out "Kimono Rental"!

2018/04/25

The kimono rental shop is easily accessible from the station, about a 5-minute walk away. The receptionist was also nice. There was a notice saying "If you don't arrive at the reserved time, you may not be able to experience it...", so I was a little worried that it would be really crowded and I would be kept waiting for a long time with "Please wait a moment". However, there was no booking at the same time as other customers, so it went smoothly.

2018/04/01

A survival game experience that even beginners can enjoy in Sakuragicho, Yokohama! Everyone is familiar with survival games, right? It's the one where you shoot BBs at each other with an airsoft gun. There are more and more places where you can experience it, and if you look on Instagram, you'll see a lot of cute girls playing it. It's an age where you might meet someone at a survival game and fall in love. There was a guy at work who kept wearing camouflage clothes, so I thought, "What is this guy, how much does he like camouflage?" and when I started talking to him, he told me he was into survival games, and before I knew it, I was participating in one.
