Since the computer games were well received, they gradually evolved into real-life attractions and events.

2019/05/21

Based on ``rock climbing,'' which aims to climb rock surfaces, it seems that events that use tools are classified as ``aid climbing,'' and events that involve climbing with just your body without using anything are classified as ``free climbing.'' Perhaps this ``free climbing'' was added as an event at a global sporting event. Furthermore, ``route climbing'' involves the use of lifelines (such as safety ropes), and ``bouldering'' involves the use of no such means, and instead of using natural rock walls, walls and artificial stones called holds are installed in facilities.

A houseboat where you can enjoy food, drinks, and seasonal scenery on board. It has a long history, and the way it is enjoyed changes with the times. The origin of boating in Japan is said to date back to the Heian period. Originally, it was established as a pastime for the courtiers and warlords of the Sengoku period, and during the Edo period, it was used by wealthy merchants and powerful daimyo, and later, it is said that houseboats, which could be enjoyed by the common people of Edo, appeared. After the Meiji period, it temporarily declined due to the effects of World War II, and was almost no longer used due to water pollution caused by the postwar period of high economic growth and the destruction of the landscape due to river bank construction. However, with the bubble economy of the 1980s, cruisers in Tokyo became popular again. Today, it is very popular not only among Japanese people but also among foreign tourists as it is a good part of Japan's traditional culture because it allows you to enjoy sightseeing spots efficiently and is convenient as a means of transportation. Also, it has become popular recently to charter a boat for welcome and farewell parties, year-end parties, and New Year's parties.

Well, now that I'm an adult, I'm going to write about my views on the appeal of houseboats. Before I looked into it, I had imagined it to be something like a tatami room with a high threshold, but it seems that houseboats these days are a little different from that. Of course, there seem to be many banquet plans that come with Japanese-style courses such as tempura and sashimi prepared by professional chefs, but there are also plans like a Tokyo Bay houseboat lunch cruise that can be enjoyed in the daytime, and plans where two people can share a ride. It seems like there are an increasing number of shops that cater to a wide range of needs, such as plans that allow you to make reservations and board a houseboat.
