3 recommended plans for "Mashiko Pottery Experience" in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture! A wide variety of courses, including electric potter's wheel and hand-building, are available!

2019/09/07

Mashiko ware was first produced in the late Edo period by Otsuka Keizaburo, who trained in Kasama, and developed into a production area for everyday items such as bowls, water jars, and earthenware teapots. Currently, there are around 260 kilns in Mashiko. A wide range of potters, from young artists to veteran craftsmen, gather in Mashiko, and their styles are very diverse. Mashiko ware clay is characterized by its sandy, rugged texture. The clay mined in the prefecture contains many air bubbles, so it is not suitable for fine work and the pieces are inevitably thick, but the simple taste is one of its charms. Pottery markets are also held in the spring and autumn, attracting pottery fans from all over the country.

Make your own pottery! 3 pottery experience classes in Tokyo!

2019/08/15

Pottery is one of Japan's famous traditional crafts. The history of pottery in Japan is long, and it is said that the world's oldest earthenware was discovered there. Therefore, there are many pottery production areas with deep histories. Recently, in each production area, there are many kilns and studios that hold pottery classes. Among the many studios, there are also spots where you can observe real kilns. In addition to the traditional simple studios, there are also studios with a stylish cafe atmosphere these days. There are an increasing number of studios with various styles, and there are even pottery classes attended by celebrities.

Departing from Kanazawa Hakkei Seaside Park in Kanagawa! Introducing the popular fishing boat and sea fishing experience plan!

2019/08/13

This time, we focused on this fishing boat boarding plan. It seems to be a popular plan that regularly ranks in Activity Japan's rankings, and the reviews and word-of-mouth from guests who have actually experienced it have an astonishing 5 out of 5! Among those comments, one that particularly stands out is "The staff were kind...", a very important point for fishing beginners. To be honest, with the recent fishing boom, there are many people who try it without knowing much about how to catch fish, how to attach bait, or things to be careful of when going on a fishing boat.

Recommended for sea fishing beginners, female groups, and families! 3 Tokyo Bay fishing boat plans!

2019/08/11

Sea fishing has different fish that can be caught depending on the season and location (boat fishing, embankment fishing, etc.), and there are various ways to fish, such as lure fishing, float fishing, etc. There are many different techniques, so if you get the hang of it and master your own technique, it can become a great hobby. Once you get hooked on the battle with a big fish with a fishing line, you'll definitely become addicted.

Even beginners can try their hand at catching big fish! Check out the fishing plan for catching sea bream and yellowtail in Katsuura, Chiba!

2019/08/09

This plan is organised by a shop called "With-Ocean" that departs from Katsuura Marine Harbor in the Sotobo area of Chiba! It seems that the main focus is on chartering a pleasure boat for leisure rather than a typical fishing boat, but looking at the plan contents, the fishing itself seems to be quite serious. The price of this plan includes the cruiser boarding fee, bait and the first tackle, while fishing rod and reel rental, tackle from the second time onwards, cooler boxes and styrofoam seem to be optional extras, but looking at the reviews, it seems that they are very kind in teaching you how to enjoy fishing and the basics, so you can rest assured. I'm not going to hide anything, I'm a complete novice at fishing!! lol

3 recommended private survival game fields in Chiba Prefecture! Enjoy the adult game "survival game"!

2019/08/06

Survival games, commonly known as sabage, are team sports that mimic ground combat during wartime. They are a type of play and leisure that originated in Japan, where players mainly use airsoft guns (toy guns) and BB bullets as weapons, wear camouflage clothing, goggles, and other equipment, and enjoy shooting in a special battlefield between two teams of friends and enemies. It became popular in the 1990s as an "adult game," and I remember it being enjoyed by many people, including celebrities and famous people, at the time. Although it originated in Japan, it is called airsoft in the United States, and competitions are held. Although there are various regulations, it is mandatory to wear goggles because BB bullets are dangerous if they get into your eyes, and the basic rule is that the person who is hit by a bullet must declare it as a "hit."

Play with owls at owl cafes in Tokyo! Here are some recommended shops!

2019/08/05

There are countless animal cafes in Tokyo alone. In the past, cat cafes were the norm, but now, depending on the cafe, you can interact with a variety of animals, including rabbits, hedgehogs, chickens, meerkats, chinchillas, parakeets, mynah birds, and reptiles, feed them, and take photos. I'd love to pet a rabbit. As it's a cafe, some places focus on food and drink, while others have spaces that feel like a forest, even though they're in a city building, where the animals can roam freely. Each cafe has its own unique ideas, making it a very popular spot. By law, the cafe space and the animal breeding space are separated, and most cafes have a rotation system at certain times.

I've had my eye on Forest Adventure, an athletic facility in Chichibu, Saitama for a long time, so I decided to give it a try!

2019/08/02

Forest Adventure is an outdoor park that originated in France and has spread around the world. It is a very popular nature-friendly athletic park with 30 facilities across Japan. The park's theme is to make use of the local nature and forests, and the attraction is that all 30 locations have different courses. Personally, I was impressed by the phrases on the official website, "You are responsible for your own safety" and "Adults become children again and children become adults," which shows that it is a facility where you can enjoy authentic athletic experiences.

Let's start windsurfing at Shonan Kamakura and Yuigahama! Introducing recommended surf schools for beginners!

2019/07/21

Well, this time I'm interested in the "Windsurfing Half-Day School" held by a surf shop called "Kamakura Hi-surf"! I was interested in regular surfing and was planning to make my debut, so windsurfing was completely off my radar, but maybe because I'm getting older, I'm quite interested in it.

Summer 2019 is here! Make your surfing debut at the beginner surfing school in Shonan, the mecca for wave riding!

2019/07/18

The Kanto region's most well-known surfing spots are the Kujukuri area in Chiba, which has been chosen as the venue for the world-famous sporting event surfing, and Kanagawa/Shonan, whose scenery is often depicted in songs, dramas, and movies. In the summer, you can often see surfers with surfboards or boards loaded onto beach cruisers at each beach. What's more, they range in age from young people who seem to be completely hooked on surfing to older men and women, and even some grandfathers. Perhaps the fact that such a wide range of surfers gather there is the reason it is a "holy land."
