2019/03/21

There are many popular tourist destinations in the Kanto region, but the Boso Peninsula in Chiba has long maintained a certain level of popularity. Located in the southeastern part of the Kanto region, it is a peninsula that faces the Pacific Ocean. There are countless tourist spots scattered around, such as the famous aquarium Kamogawa Sea World and Nihon-ji Temple, where you can see the largest Buddha statue in Japan. The particularly popular Minami-Boso area is full of power spots and historical buildings, and is frequently visited by history-loving tourists.

In spring, you can see colorful rape blossoms and poppies, and in summer, it is perfect for swimming and marine sports. The Boso Hills and the southern coastline are designated as Minami-Boso Quasi-National Park, and are developing as a "marine resort" with many beaches and villas. In the Minami-Boso area, which has many famous places and little-known spots, there is a place that I would like to recommend from the perspective of "enjoying activities."

On your precious days off, you can't help but think, "I want to travel away from the hustle and bustle of the city" or "I want to spend time in a place rich in nature." However, some people may be troubled by the schedule of going to a place too far from the city, saying, "To be honest, it's tough in terms of the number of days...". For those people, we recommend Izu Oshima, a resort that is close to the city and easy to get to! Izu Oshima is actually very close to the metropolitan area! It is located about 120 km south of Tokyo and about 30 km off the east coast of the Izu Peninsula. It is famous as the largest island of the Izu Islands, which are made up of over 100 islands, and is blessed with a warm climate throughout the year due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current. Also, Mt. Mihara, towering in the center of the island, is a volcanic island known as "Goshinbi" (divine fire), and the scenery is woven with distinctive topography. As a result, the Izu Islands are primarily noted for their crater cones and scenery. However, when the warm season arrives, you'll want to enjoy some ocean activities, right? So this time, we've carefully selected scuba diving plans that you can enjoy on Izu Oshima! We have plans that both beginners and experienced divers can enjoy, so be sure to check them out!

What is a personal color diagnosis? Do you know what colors suit you best and are useful for choosing your clothes and makeup?

2019/02/18

Personal colors are colors that suit a person. I think few people know what colors "suit me." As I said earlier, a color that is said to suit one person may not suit another, so it may seem like "looking good" is just a matter of personal sensibility. However, you can analyze the colors that suit you based on the "pigment tendencies you were born with (colors that harmonize with your skin, hair, and eye color)." Putting aside the idea that what's inside is important, it's really important to make a good impression with your appearance.

A friend recently invited me to see a play directed by a Chinese dancer called Yang Liping at Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Shibuya, so I looked into it and found out that Activity Japan was also pushing it heavily, so I thought I'd introduce it to you all.
