Book a Tokyo Helicopter Charter and have a romantic date when you become rich...

2018/09/27

When my friends say, ``I took a helicopter ride,'' I say, ``That's nice,'' but that's just a social gesture, and I don't really want to go on a helicopter ride. But don't helicopters have something like headphones with a microphone so you can have that conversation? I think I'd like to try that because it's kind of cool. The people talking on the intercom are so cute. When you speak with your mouth a little closer to the microphone, you can create the impression that you are a capable person. I think it's nice to have a cell phone between your cheeks and shoulders when you're talking. I always end up dropping my phone.

Public road cart rental in Shinkiba, Tokyo! It seems to be one of the largest store areas in the Kanto area! !

2018/09/13

A few years ago, when I first saw them driving around the streets of Odaiba, Akihabara, and Shibuya, I was surprised and thought, "What's this group of mini cars that look like they're from a game? Are they filming something?" However, now it has become commonplace to see it. Everyone looks like they're having a lot of fun wearing their costumes, so I think that's a great feeling. It's wonderful how they come down when you wave from the sidewalk. It almost gives the impression that they are wearing costumes, but the price does not include costume rental, so I am wondering how much it costs to rent it.

An adventure tour where the memories of the Ogasawara Chichijima Battle Site lie dormant! Go on a journey to learn about the history of war.

2018/06/10

Recently, I was researching diving and sea kayaking that you can experience on Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo. There is also Hahajima (as an aside) I learned that there are many remains of military facilities from the Pacific War left on Chichijima, just as they were back then. Iwo Jima, located approximately 280km south of Chichijima, is famous for being the site of a fierce ground battle between the Japanese and U.S. forces, but the only means of transportation for the general public is currently The only option is to take part in a tour (held several times a year) that takes you aboard the Sawara Maru.

Located approximately 1,000km south of Tokyo, it is the second largest island in the Ogasawara Islands. The island, surrounded by beautiful blue sea and rich in nature, gained attention after it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. The only regular service to the Ogasawara Islands is the Ogasawara Maru from Tokyo Takeshiba Pier, which takes 25 hours and 30 minutes to Chichijima. It's farther than I thought. What should I do to spend my time? There seems to be a service that turns off the lights inside the ship to make it easier to see the stars at night, so the cruise while gazing at the stars looks fun and exciting. The Ogasawara Maru fares are expensive, starting from 25.620 yen one way! is. It's over 50,000 yen round trip...but I'd like to go.

I searched Activity Japan for "pottery classes" that you can easily participate in in Tokyo, so I would like to share some of the recommended plans that I found there.

This is the difference between reading SCUBA in English or European style, and it seems to be fine either way, but in order to avoid confusion, the Japan Scuba Association has announced that it will be unified with "Scuba".

The fee for the Rakuyaki course is 200 yen. So cheap! This is the price for the ceramic version, and the plate is 350 yen. Still cheap! The price is too good to be able to experience creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art using your pet's paw print. But I feel a little sorry when I think of seeing such a disgusted look on my face. Her disgusted face is really cute though. In addition to plates, they seem to have a variety of fabrics such as cups, so it seems like it would be fun to choose what you like.
