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.
I feel that there is a trend these days where people are becoming less resistant to cosplay. A typical recent topic is Halloween, but the sight of people overflowing with disguised people on the streets seems like something that would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. Regarding Japanese clothing, which I will introduce this time, a new trend of "kimono boys" seems to be gradually gaining popularity, and there is information that the percentage of men and women who "wear kimonos at least once a month" is higher than the average for all generations (3.2%), with 20s (8.0%) and 30s (3.5%).
We will be focusing on the "Tokyo Sumo Stable Tour," which will give you a glimpse into the unique world and culture of the sumo world. As of November 2019, we will be introducing a variety of sumo-related guided tours that are popular with foreign tourists visiting Japan, along with detailed reservation information for the tour plan for all three stables that is currently available on Activity Japan.
Recently, autumn has completely engulfed Japan. Even in the Kanto region, the temperature will drop sharply from November, and the hours of daylight will also become shorter. Due to the sudden drop in temperature, many people will tend to refrain from going outside because they are weak to the cold. It is true that experiencing outdoor activities in winter requires a certain amount of experience and determination. Especially when exploring snowy mountains in cold climates, there is a high possibility of danger if you are inexperienced. So, let's take a look at indoor activities.
A "camper" is a vehicle equipped with facilities for sleeping and staying overnight. The term "camper" is used without any awkwardness in Japan, but it is actually a Japanese-English term. In America, it is called a "camper." Sales have been soaring in recent years, reaching a record high of 35.7 billion yen in 2015. It has become increasingly popular among people in their 60s and older who have more time and money to spare, and the number of domestically produced camper vans shipped has also increased dramatically.
Christmas is an important day that is indispensable for couples. If you want to make it a memorable day, you probably want to have a romantic date. Couples who are thinking about getting married in particular have a ton of things they want to do, like surprise someone or ride the Ferris wheel. So here is a plan we at Activity Japan highly recommend: a helicopter tour!!
