Popular indoor leisure activities in 2019! Introducing popular courses at recommended "escape game" facilities in Tokyo!

2019/06/07

For a while, ``Escape Game'' was broadcast on TV variety shows and became a hot topic nationwide. In fact, there are facilities all over Tokyo, and it is a leisure activity that the general public can enjoy! First, I would like to give an overview of "escape games", which are a type of adventure. The goal of this attraction is to be trapped in a closed environment, such as a room or a building, and to “escape” from that situation. Games where the goal is to escape from a closed space have their roots in the computer game ``Mystery House,'' which appeared in the 1980s. After the 2000s, similar games rapidly increased through the Internet, and the genre expanded and became famous. Since the computer games were well received, they gradually evolved into real-life attractions and events.

Refresh time after work! Introducing recommended plans for beginners' bouldering courses that you can experience in Shinjuku, Tokyo! Is it perfect for dieting? ?

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. The standard seems to be to use a protrusion like this.

3 recommended houseboat courses for touring the Tokyo Bay Area! We offer a wide variety of meals, all-you-can-drink drinks, private reservations, shared rides, etc.!

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.

2019/05/13

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.

Tenjozan is a symbol of Kozushima, and is a lava dome formed by a large-scale eruption in the past.

In this way, Kozushima is an island where you can enjoy not only marine activities, but also land-based exploration such as hiking. However, its biggest feature is its beautiful sea, which has been selected as the most transparent in Japan. It is said to have the highest number of fish in the Izu Seven Islands, so if you go diving, you might be able to see sea turtles, amberjack, and flocks of tengudai. Due to its easy access from Tokyo, it is a popular diving spot frequented by many divers living in the Kanto area. Another factor contributing to its popularity is that you can enjoy the only night dive in the Izu Islands on the white sandy terrain. In addition, there are many diving spots that attract divers, including dynamic reefs and cave dives. We have carefully selected diving tours that even beginners can easily experience on Kozushima, as well as fun diving plans that can be enjoyed even by licensed C card holders.

What is a personal color diagnosis? Do you know "colors that suit you" that are useful for clothes and makeup?

2019/02/18

A personal color is a color that suits a person. There are probably few people who know what color "suits them". As I mentioned earlier, a color that is said to look good on one person may be said to not suit another person, and isn't it a matter of personal sensibilities when it comes to what "looks good on"? I will think. However, you can analyze which colors suit you based on your natural pigmentation tendencies (colors that harmonize with your skin, hair, and eye colors). For humans, what's important is what's on the inside, and putting aside such things as beauty, it's really important to make a good impression with your appearance.
