山口へ小旅行 後編 We headed for the next destination, Kanmon Tunnel. We found Akama Shrine on the way to the tunnel. The shrine looks like a building of Okinawa. The shrine was the setting of “Hoichi the Earless,” which is a story translated by Yakumo Koizumi. A hall is quietly standing behind the main shrine. There are […]
Hi, I’m Danny. I went for a drive to Yamaguchi the other day.The purpose of visiting Yamaguchi was to eat fugu (blowfish). I’m not familiar with fugu because I grew up in Shinshu, the area surrounded by mountains. Now that I’m older, I don’t feel like eating something new… Wait. Have I ever eaten fugu […]
Hi, I’m Danny. The cold weather has been continuing these days. Is it because of a cold wave? It’s surprising that we got a few inches of snow in Hiroshima. It’s cold, but winter is the best season for oysters♪ I went out to eat tempura of oysters, which is available only during winter! The […]
It’s been over a week now. Tucked about a ten-minute walk away from the Atomic Bomb Dome in Honkawacho, Hiroshima, I have been sheltered by The Evergreen Hostel, which stands in stark contrast to the memorial of a time when war and hate was everywhere. Managed by its warm and generous owner, Hazuki Umemoto, she […]

Hi, I’m Danny. The other day, I went to Dezomeshiki (the New Year’s parade of firefighters) for the first time in my life. I went to see it because my family was interested in the event, but I was interested in it the most. (lol) There is a fire department in a short distance away […]
Hi, I’m Danny. I went to shrine in Fukuyama the other day. The purpose for visiting was to draw an omikuji to predict my fortune for the future! The place I visited was Kusado Inari-jinja.

Sights in Hiroshima by Andy This post will sort of be a two in one. I’ll discuss some sightseeing areas, as well as some great spots in Hiroshima for taking photographs. All over Japan there are hundreds of places great for photography. First, let me go over some photography etiquette. When traveling to another country, […]
Hi, I’m Danny. I know it’s quite sudden, but do you know Hattendo? I happened to know Hattendo when I lived in Kanto region. I bought a cream bun of Hattendo casually at a station building on my way home from work. It was very delicious, and I’ve become a big fan of Hattendo since […]
We visited Izumo Taisha one day after we did sightseeing in Matsue. Visiting Izumo Taisha was the main purpose of this trip. It was within a 10-minute walk to the approach to the shrine from the inn we stayed at. Izumo Taisha opens its gate at 6:30 am. We decided to visit there in the […]
We came back to the inn and had breakfast. We checked out of the inn and headed for Izumo Taisha again. We visited “Kitajima Kokusokan” this time. By the way, you can go to Kitajima Kokusokan easily from Izumo Taisha. Senge family and Kitajima family had taken over rituals of Izumo Taisha for a long […]
Hi, I’m Danny. Today, I’d like to talk about the trip to Matsue Castle in Shimane Prefecture. I’m not very familiar with the names of samurai warlords, but I like to visit castles.

Hi, I’m Danny. When I tell people that I moved to Hiroshima due to a company transfer, they always ask me “Have you ever been to Sanzoku?” Hmm, Sanzoku…? I wondered what it was, and then I found out that it’s a name of a restaurant in the mountains. Do I have to go there? […]

It’s perfect time to see autumn leaves in the mountains. They are turning red and yellow now. It’s a bit strange to see autumn leaves although the streets of the town are in full Christmas mode(lol).

I could look around into the distance because of the fine weather and the dry air. The Shikoku region was a short distance away! The sea was dotted with small islands. There are a lot of islands in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions. I felt fresh because I was brought up in the mountains. It […]
Hi, I’m Danny. Ah, autumn is here. It’s koyo (colorful autumn leaves) season in Japan. However, autumn leaves had already fallen in my neighborhood….

My Journey of Learning Japanese Wtitten by Jenny I was exposed to Japanese language through manga and animation since my secondary school.

Written by Wong First of all, why japan? The answer is definitely FOOD. I love Japanese cuisine. Ranging from the fancy luxurious end of the spectrum such as Kobe beef in a 3 Michelin stars restaurant to the opposite end such as the umeboshi onigiri (prickled plum rice ball) in a local convenient shop, all […]

Hi, I’m Danny. Have you ever eaten wagashi, traditional Japanese confectionery with a seasonal design? There are sakuramochi, kashiwamochi, mizu-yokan, ohagi, botamochi, etc. Jo-namagashi is said to be namagashi (wet confectionery) that is superior to the other wagashi. You have little chance to eat jo-namagashi unless you are invited to a tea ceremony. However, I think […]
Increasing your physical strength by walking down the streets of Onomichi Hi, I’m Danny. I was influenced by my favorite TV show and decided to stroll along the streets of Onomichi, where I had wanted to visit for a long time. Since I had come all the way to Onomichi, I knew it’s better to […]

あたらしい手帳を買いました。これまでお気に入りのVivienne 手帳の中身（リフィル）だけをとりかえて何年も使ってきたわけなんですが、もうサラリーマンでもなくなってしまい、「ウィークリーで予定をがつがつ埋めるような使い方をしなくなったなあ…無駄にカバンが重いのはヤダな…」という感じになってきてしまいました。 そこで来年は思い切ってマンスリーOnlyのぺらっぺらの小さい手帳。500-600円でした。安っ！そして大事なポイント、カバン軽量化に相当寄与しそう。手のひらぐらいのサイズしかないんだもの。それでも十分。 しっかし年々いろんなデザイン・フォーマットの手帳が出ますね。スケジュールをデジタル管理する人も多くなっているだろうに、この時期の手帳コーナーのにぎわいはいまだに本当にすごいものがある！Loft のレジ行列は長すぎて並ぶのをやめました。笑 I bought a new ‘techo’ (paper diary / planner). Choosing new one for a brand new year is a big fun to me. I’m very bad at making use of digital app to manage my schedule. I prefer a paper diary because I can read it in a wide, general way, like […]
先日久しぶりにサイゼリアに行ったんですよ…..アルコールなしだと、2人で合計3,000円超えるのがやっと という感じですね。恐ろしいコストパフォーマンスだなあとつくづく感じました。しかも今回は異様に料理の提供スピードが速く、腰を抜かしました。笑 Do you know Saizeriya? It’s a chain of family restaurants in Japan featuring an Italian menu. Their menu prices are extremely cheap and service is incredibly fast. Here’s example; – pasta – 390~700 yen – big steak – 1000 yen – glass of wine – from 100 yen!!! – 500ml wine -399yen!! 以前はよく友人と「サイゼ飲み」、やってました。なんてったってグラスワイン１杯100円ですからね…..ボトル1本1000円という驚異的金額のワインあり、甘くて飲みやすいロゼのスパークリングワインあり。なんじゃこの天国…ちなみに飲みきれなかったらボトルごとテイクアウト可能らしい！（これは友人情報） You can […]
