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 like a lucky thing, isn't it? Will I be able to spend this Christmas with a wonderful person? Will I be able to go window shopping 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 go skating 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.

The last Odaiba fireworks display of the Heisei era! Watch the winter fireworks from the double-decker open-top bus "Sky Bus"!

2018/12/05

Did you know that the midwinter fireworks festival "Odaiba Rainbow Fireworks" will be held at Odaiba on Saturday, December 29th? Right after the fun Christmas, you can enjoy another event in December, but it seems that people around me don't know much about it... lol. Even though it's winter, about 1,800 fireworks will light up the Tokyo night sky, so I think it's a pretty big fireworks festival ♪ Also, there's a theory that it looks even more beautiful on a clear winter night than in summer. (Image is for illustrative purposes only lol)

Top 10 gourmet and leisure spots in Chichibu, Saitama, 2018

2018/11/21

The Chichibu region is surrounded by mountains and is an area in northwest Saitama that is rich in nature. As it is a basin, the temperature difference throughout the day is large, and although there are many scorching hot days in the summer, the humidity is low, and snow tends to accumulate in the winter. It is about an hour and a half by train from the city center, so it is an easy destination to visit and can be fully enjoyed even on a day trip. Many tourists visit the area to see pilgrimage spots for popular anime and dramas, as well as seas of clouds and fireflies. There are also many activities to enjoy nature, such as river rafting and hiking! We have ranked the most popular Chichibu sightseeing spots, including nature, culture, hot springs, and gourmet food, all in this city that is full of things to see. Please use this as reference for your outing ♪

Introducing a space where you can do "veranda camping" at a barbecue facility with good access from Shimokitazawa Station! (Food and drinks can be brought in)

2018/11/12

Veramping is a combination of the words "balcony + glamping," and "glamping" is a combination of "glamorous + camping." It's about spending a luxurious and extravagant time decorating the balcony of an apartment in the middle of the city, drinking from champagne glasses on a fluffy sofa, cooking fancy dishes with fancy cookware like a Dutch oven or Le Creuset, and eating fancy desserts made by famous pastry chefs. Glamorous feels like the polar opposite of an outdoor experience, and it's a bit of a lost cause, so I'm a bit embarrassed to imagine myself in such a space, but I think it would be comfortable and fun. However, of course I can't do such a wonderful thing in my house, and I'd prefer something a bit more casual. Besides, there aren't many houses with such a large balcony, right? This plan is also recommended for people like that.

The Shonan area is one of the best marine spots in Kanto, and is accessible from central Tokyo in about an hour by car.

This time, we will introduce the "Top 10 Recommended Tourist Spots in Hayama", carefully selected by the writer's arbitrary and biased perspective, from recommended tourist spots, popular beaches, activities and events, centered around Hayama Town, Miura County, Kanagawa Prefecture, including the neighboring city of Zushi.

[2018 Christmas] Limited to 12/22 (Sat) - 24 (Mon)! Christmas special cruise plan boarding from Odaiba, Tokyo (free drink included)

The 2018 Halloween season has come to an end, and the Christmas season, when the city will be even more colorful, is approaching☆ Have you decided on your plans for Christmas with your partner, family, or friends♫ Of course, a Christmas party at home or a familiar shop is great, but Activity Japan proposes a "special time" to spend with a "special person" on a "special day" as the "2018 Xmas Special Plan"↑ So this time, we will introduce a "Christmas Cruise" plan that boards a cruiser from the Odaiba area of Tokyo for three days from December 22nd (Sat) to 24th (Mon)♪ We have prepared two courses: a casual "60-minute cruise + free drink" and a slightly more luxurious "90-minute cruise + free drink + Xmas limited plate"◎ This Christmas, enjoy the romantic scenery of the Tokyo Bay Area, including the Rainbow Bridge♫ We expect it to sell out early, so we recommend making your reservation early♪( ´θ｀)ノ

Experience autumn leaves kayaking on the Kinugawa River in Tochigi Prefecture! This season runs until November, so hurry up and make your reservation!!

2018/10/28

From now on, the mountains will be colored with autumn leaves, and you can enjoy the magnificent scenery. It's autumn, and you can take as many photos as you want for Instagram. When you feel like going to a hot spring to relax while enjoying the autumn leaves, Tochigi Prefecture is easily accessible from Tokyo, so I have been there many times. There are many attractive tourist spots such as gyoza restaurant hopping, Kinugawa Onsen, Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Lake Chuzenji, Kegon Falls, and the large panoramic night view observation deck, so it's fun no matter how many times you go. The river boat ride I experienced on the Kinugawa River was much more fun than I could have imagined, as I was able to enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest, and I hope to go again someday. When the world-famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio visited Japan, he also went on the Kinugawa River River for some reason, and there were photos of him on display at the boat dock, which was very surreal. I wonder if Leo enjoyed the river boat ride. The course I participated in was a boat with a boatman going down the river from upstream to downstream, and since you basically just ride, I thought it would be even more fun if you could steer it freely yourself. So I did a bit of searching and found a lot of canoe and kayak tour plans, so I'd like to introduce one of them.

[Odaiba Christmas Cruise] Our family is planning to blend in with the couples on their date and enjoy a romantic cruise on a popular ship, which is sure to be fully booked!

2018/10/25

The plan I'm thinking of booking instead of the Meguro River illumination cruise is this Christmas cruise plan! Like the Meguro River plan, this is a shared-ride style Christmas cruise plan run by Anniversary Cruise, a major company that runs charter cruises in Tokyo and Yokohama, with two trips per day from December 22nd (Saturday) to the 24th (Monday, holiday), Christmas Eve. It's right in the middle of the Christmas season during the December holidays, when couples are usually going out on dates, so there are only six trips in total, so it's hard to say whether you'll be able to get a reservation, but... it's definitely popular, isn't it?

"Meguro River Illumination 2018" I'm interested in the cruise plan to see the illuminations from a boat. How much does it cost? When will it be held?

2018/10/22

Well, what caught my eye this time was this Meguro River Cruising Plan! It seems to be a plan that allows you to enjoy a luxurious time on a chartered boat while viewing the illuminations of Meguro River, which has become a seasonal feature of winter in Tokyo. My son is a typical man who gets super excited when he rides on a "vehicle," so this small boat, instead of a large ship, is just perfect for him. Well, if it was just for that reason, there are probably more simple plans, but since it's the season of illuminations when the city is colored, I'm planning to book a slightly romantic cruise plan that can also be used as a date with my wife (although it's actually more difficult with a child lol).

[Meguro River Illumination 2018] Event period information & reservations now open for the "Meguro River Illumination CHANDON Cruise 2018" where you can enjoy the fantastic lighting up the cherry blossom-lined streets on a private boat cruise!

The illuminations that have become a seasonal feature of winter in Tokyo, "Meguro River Everyone's Illumination" will be held again this season from November 9th, 2018 (Friday) to January 6th, 2019 (Sunday)♪ The cherry blossom trees along the Meguro River, mainly in the Osaki-Gotanda area (Gotanda Fureai Waterfront Square to Morinaga Bridge), which continues to develop as a subcenter of Tokyo, will be decorated with pink (cherry blossom color) LED illuminations that are lit using 100% self-generated and locally produced electricity, creating a romantic atmosphere◎ At the moment, the information has been announced on the Tokyo tourism site "GO TOKYO" and other sites, so we are waiting for the official Meguro River Everyone's Illumination information to be released, but we will pick it up in advance♪ And this time, we will be the first to introduce a special plan to take a chartered boat for an elegant cruise down the Meguro River in conjunction with the illumination event that will be held before Christmas 2018! ! What's more, we also have a plan that allows you to enjoy watching the fireworks over Odaiba on Saturdays in December only. Both plans are collaborations with CHANDON, which is famous for its sparkling wine! You can charter and book from 5 people, so please enjoy a special time with your friends or family, or for a group date or girls' night out. This plan is very popular every year, so it may sell out quickly on weekends, so we recommend you make your reservation early.
