3 Tokyo Schools to Get a Diving License! What are the types of licenses and how much do they cost?

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'm interested in the Tokitsukaze stable tour! How do I make a reservation to visit a sumo stable?

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.

[Training] I want to try a full-fledged waterfall ascetic practice at Mount Takao, the Kanto region's most sacred place!

When I hear "training," I think of Dragon Ball, which is totally my generation lol. I wondered what training is, so I did a little research and found out that it is "spiritual training in Buddhism." It seems that "training" is about being freed from desires such as money, sex, and fame, which are considered "relative happiness," and pursuing "absolute happiness" where you can feel happy just being alive. Deep. The goal is not just to become strong like Goku.
