We'll be taking a closer look at Enoshima Island Spa (commonly known as Eno Spa), which is located at the entrance to Enoshima, a landmark in the Kanagawa Shonan area, and enjoys a fantastic view of Mt. Fuji across Sagami Bay! This extremely popular spa resort boasts an overwhelming ocean view, a rich natural environment, and Enoshima's only natural hot spring, which springs from 1,500 meters below ground, as well as 10 different types of spa pools.
The shamisen is an instrument played by plucking three strings with a spatula-shaped stick, and is said to have been introduced from Ryukyu (Okinawa) during the Sengoku period. In my mind, I imagine people wearing hakama and playing lightly and at a fast tempo. When I go to Okinawa, the people on the island sing while playing the sanshin, which is very similar to the shamisen, but the sanshin often plays slower songs, so I wondered what the difference between the shamisen and the sanshin is.
In Tokyo, there are more activities to enjoy than just indoors. Of course, there are also things you can enjoy to your heart's content outdoors. Don't underestimate the nature of Tokyo. Okutama, which I focused on in my last blog, is a place of majestic nature, with scenery so vast that you'll forget you're in Tokyo. Okutama, which is also the source of the Tama River, is a popular place for river activities such as canyoning and rafting. Tokyo also includes remote islands such as Mikurajima and the Ogasawara Islands. As a result, you can enjoy marine sports such as diving and canoeing in the beautiful sea, as well as popular activities such as dolphin watching and whale watching.
Recently, there has been an increase in various animal-themed cafes, such as rabbit cafes, hedgehog cafes, owl cafes, and reptile cafes, but cat cafes can be said to be the original. You can play with the cats with toys, take photos, or just look at them with joy, and they are also popular as a date spot for couples.

Porcelarts is also known as "porcelain art." It is a coined word combining porcelain and art, and is a handmade craft in which patterns are created on white porcelain such as teacups and plates by sticking special stickers or painting with paint. "Porcelarts" is a coined word, and is a registered trademark by Nihon Vogue Co., Ltd., a long-established company founded 60 years ago that develops knitting and handmade businesses. Therefore, strictly speaking, the name "Porcelarts" is used in classes for people who have mastered Nihon Vogue's porcelain art curriculum.
Okutama is also known as a hot spring resort near the capital region, and is called the "inner sanctum" of Tokyo. It is very easily accessible from the city center, about two hours by car. If you take the "Holiday Rapid Okutama" express train from Shinjuku, you can arrive at Okutama Station in about an hour and a half. It's a perfect tourist spot for a day trip!!
C-card is an abbreviation of Certification Card and means "certificate". This C-card is not a national qualification like a license, but a certificate issued by a private organization, so it does not mean that you can dive freely anywhere you want. Furthermore, some cards can only be used at that shop, in that country, or worldwide, so you should be aware of this in advance. If you are going to get a qualification anyway, it is better to get a card that allows you to dive in the oceans of the world. Even if you have this C-card, you will basically need to rent cylinders and weights at diving shops around the world (of course, this is not necessary if you have purchased the equipment) and swim in designated areas with an instructor or guide.
I want to live with an animal, but taking care of them is hard work, and there are many apartments that don't allow pets, so it's a bit of a challenge. That's why SNS accounts that only post pictures of pets are so popular. However, just looking at cute pictures isn't enough, so I actually go to the zoo or aquarium, and then I feel even more like I want to get even closer and interact with them in real life!
Recently, many cooking appliances that allow you to easily bake bread at home have been sold, and they seem to be popular among housewives because of how easy they are to use. The secret to their popularity seems to be that you can bake your own freshly baked bread, from regular wheat flour bread to gluten-free rice flour bread. It's true, you might get excited if piping hot bread with fried eggs and bacon appears on the table for breakfast. It's like being in a hotel lol
First, let's start with the basics: what is an "escape game"? An escape game is a real action adventure game in which you aim to "escape from a closed space" set up indoors, as the name suggests, and you can enjoy a thrilling battle of wits as you solve various difficult problems set by titles and themes in teams and aim to clear the course. It seems that it is also called "escape game" in English.
It was originally developed as indoor training for rock climbing (there are various theories), but it became popular due to its ease of being an indoor sport that anyone can enjoy, and the fact that not only beginners but also children and adults can enjoy the fun of climbing rock faces more safely than outdoors. Another factor that has made it familiar is that, despite being a specialized sport, there are climbing gyms in every town.
First, let's briefly review the basics of the sport known as "bouldering." Bouldering is a sport in which the goal is to climb an artificial wall that mimics the surface of natural rock using only minimal equipment, such as bouldering shoes and chalk to prevent slipping. I'm sure many of you have seen the sight of people climbing up a sloping wall in a gym, holding on to colorful "protruding stones" called holds.
Apparently you can catch a variety of fish in Tokyo Bay. From horse mackerel and sillago to rockfish, hairtail, red sea bream, filefish, and juvenile yellowtail called inada. Horse mackerel and sillago are small, so even beginners can easily catch them, and best of all, they're delicious! I once tried inada fishing on a fishing boat, and even the young fish have strong swimming ability, so it felt like I was catching a big fish, which was a lot of fun.
First of all, what exactly is a "herbarium"? Its origins can be traced back to the study of botany. The English term "herbarium" refers to a collection of preserved dried flowers. Plant specimens can be whole plants or just parts of them. The most common method is to dry them and paste them on a mount, but depending on the material, they can also be preserved by soaking them in alcohol or preservatives.
When you hear the word "cross-country skiing," the first thing that comes to mind is the athletes who have competed in world-class sporting events such as Albertville and Lillehammer. It seems that it is only for people in their late 30s or older, lol. Or rather, on the contrary, you may only hear the name "cross-country skiing" as a competitive sport. When you look into it, you will find that it makes sense. Cross-country skiing is also known as "running skiing," and refers to a style of skiing down flat ground or slopes without using lifts. It is not common in Japan, but in Northern Europe, it is a style that many people of all ages and genders enjoy as a winter sport. It could simply be a means of transportation in a snowy country, but it seems like it would be fun to stroll through nature, sometimes leisurely and sometimes fast.
I didn't know there was an opportunity for the general public to visit a sumo stable. There are many sumo stables near the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo where the main tournaments are held, and the Tokitsukaze stable, which is the subject of this plan, is one of them. Sumo tournaments are held outside of Tokyo, and they move to many different places due to tours, so you can't always visit them. Actually, I thought that tours were when sumo tournaments were held in places other than the Ryogoku Kokugikan, but I learned that those are "honbasho" and that tours are held in many other places. Here is a plan that allows you to visit a rare sumo stable during a honbasho or tour, and also eat chanko nabe made by young wrestlers.
The Odaiba Rainbow Fireworks 2019 will be held every Saturday in December (12/7, 12/14, 12/21, 12/28), and will be a fireworks event that emphasizes entertainment, with illuminations and music that will liven up the Christmas atmosphere. However, the fireworks are very short, starting at 7:00 p.m. every day and lasting about 5 minutes, so it might be better to enjoy it as part of a course that combines dinner or a night out at the surrounding night spots.
