Book a helicopter charter in Tokyo and have a romantic date when you're rich...

2018/09/27

If a friend says "I've been on a helicopter," I'll say "That's nice," but it's just a polite gesture, and I'm not that keen to try it myself. But helicopters have those headphones with a microphone so you can talk, right? I think they're kind of cool, so I'd like to try them. I'm into people talking into intercoms. That sort of feeling of talking with your mouth a little closer to the microphone gives the impression of a capable person. Speaking of a capable person, I also think it's good to talk with your phone tucked between your cheek and shoulder. I always end up dropping my phone.

There are places where you can experience it all over the country, and I experienced it in Okinawa, where you can stand, sit, lie down, and do whatever you like, and it was much easier and more fun than I expected.

A public road kart rental shop in Shinkiba, Tokyo! It is said to be one of the largest in the Kanto region!

2018/09/13

A few years ago, when I first saw them driving around the streets of Odaiba, Akihabara, or Shibuya, I was surprised and thought, "What is this group of miniature cars like in a game... is it some kind of filming?", but now it's become a common sight. Everyone is wearing costumes and looks like they're having so much fun, I think that's really cool. It's great how they wave back when you wave from the sidewalk. It seems like most people are wearing costumes, but the price doesn't include costume rental, so I'm wondering how much it costs to rent one.

The Nagatorocho area of Chichibu is located in the upper reaches of the Arakawa River, so river sports such as rafting and canoeing are popular. But of course, that's not all that the mountains have to offer. There are other ways to enjoy the mountains, such as breathing in the clean air in nature, climbing mountains and camping, and enjoying the scenery that can only be seen in summer. And with the opening of Forest Adventure Chichibu, new ways to enjoy mountain activities have been added. The greatest feature of this facility is that it is an attraction and theme park that makes use of the forest as it is. Creating a typical leisure facility would require large-scale development and reclamation, which would reduce nature. However, Forest Adventure keeps the burden on the environment to a minimum by using the forest as it is.

2018/06/27

Refresh yourself in a hidden area of Tokyo! Enjoy shower climbing in Okutama! This is the first time I've heard of "shower climbing". When I looked it up, it seems to be a form of "sawa-nobori". Hmm? I thought this wasn't canyoning, but when I looked it up, I found out that descending a mountain stream is canyoning, and climbing up is shower climbing. Even though you enjoy it in the same way, the names are different. I'm still a novice when it comes to activities, so please forgive me.

Rent a yukata in Asakusa! Make your fireworks festival and sightseeing a memorable experience!

2018/06/24

Can you put on a kimono or yukata by yourself? I'm ashamed to say that I can't do it at all! In fact, I don't even own any Japanese clothing. By the way, the yakuza wife-style furisode I used for my coming-of-age ceremony was rented. With this plan, you can enjoy wearing a yukata without having to bring anything with you, and the location is Asakusa, Tokyo, a very stylish and traditional spot. It's also a great way to create special memories! Foreign tourists might even say to you, "That's lovely!" What if it's in English?

Yokohama's fireworks festival! The second survey of "Yokohama Sparkling Twilight 2018" held on July 14th and 15th!!

2018/06/21

As for the price, this plan is 800 yen cheaper. And it's worth noting that there is a child's price. The plan I introduced the other day was 12,800 yen per person for both adults and children, so for a family of four it would be 51,200 yen. Wow, that's expensive! Over 50,000 yen! Wait, this is a fireworks display, isn't it? A fundamental question has arisen in my mind. It would be one thing if you were eating a fancy meal, but both plans are bento boxes, right...? The other plan is a bento box from a restaurant called "Shigoroku Saikan" that looks pretty tasty, but I'm also curious about the fact that this plan only says "Western-style bento box".

Experience hand-making at a pottery class in Shimokitazawa! This was the perfect craft experience for me, who is currently on leave from work!

2018/06/20

When you hear "pottery," the general image is of making pottery on an electric potter's wheel, but in fact, it's quite difficult, and you end up getting help from the teacher or staff. It can be over in just 5 minutes. (Experienced potter, Kaorin) On the other hand, this "hand-building" method allows you to create your ideal shape little by little and even arrange it! It's a method recommended for beginners. This seems like something that both adults and children can enjoy.
