行燈旅館の皆さん ありがとうう！
I would like to thank everybody at Andon Ryokan for, again, a very nice stay in Tokyo in April !
Also thank you for helping me buy tickets for Ghibli Museum and Kaikoo Popwave Festival, sending heavy books home, Italian pasta, directing me to cozy neighbourhoods in Tokyo … and being a great help when I had to organize an extra week in Japan because of the Iceland Volcano-cloud, so I could spend another great week in my favorite ryokan in Kyoto … and of course Tokyo. Glad I finally got some time to explore the city… just perfect

I have put a selecting of my many pictures from the trip around central Japan on Flickr. 写真

I went to Korea last weekend for Japan promotion with a lot of associations. It was the first time and I was surprised a lot in there. The first time country is always give me something good things so I couldn’t stop traveling. When I arrived the airport, I saw a big river where was looks like clean water.
The river wide was about 1 kirro meters and the both river side had a nice parks. It looks like really peaceful. I stayed in Miondon area. There were a lot of small shops that especial was cosmetic shops. The young stuff was salling cosmetics with baker. The price was really intersting. I was understanded why women want to go there. I had only two nighs but I eat a lot of deliciouse foods in there. I had inspired them. I dislike spicy foods with garlik but the restaurant had a normal taste some. I was enjoyed them a lot. I want to go Korea again.

When I first came here, I loved watching Japanese TV show especially restaurant and travel guide show. One day, I turned on TV and saw couple famous Japanese stars went touring little town and introduced a local famous Tempura restaurant. Since I am also Tempura’s fan, I really wanted to know where was that place, then I found out that the town is called “Shibamata” or known as Tora san’s city. 
First I went to Taishakuten temple which was built in 1629, it has been preserved in great condition. Then, I walked behind the temple along the little alley to Yamamoto-Tei, a beautiful Japanese style house of Enotsuke Yamamoto, In 1991 it’s opened to the public to enjoy Japanese garden and tea. Entrance fee is only 100 Yen. All the cafe menu is 500 Yen. Moreover, you can buy combination ticket (550 yen) here for Yamamoto-Tei and Tora san Kinen Museum which just cross the street behind this house. 
After finished sightseeing, I got very hungry, of course, I won’t miss having the famous tempura at “大和家” on Taishakuten-Dori, simple Tendon started from 998 yen….I knew it’s right decision to come all the way here. Then, I tried Nori Dango from Toraya and Cream rollcake from a shop opposite to Toraya which was very delicious and cheap. 
Before I left this town, I stopped by a traditional snack and candy shop, As I walked inside, I felt like I was young again, all the things I used to see were all there….Moreover, it’s very cheap and a perfect little souvenirs for kids. 
วันหยุดทั้งทีไม่รู้ว่าจะได้หยุดอีกเมื่อไหร่ ฉันจึงตัดสินใจไปเที่ยวเมืองชิบามาตะหรือบ้านของโทระซังจากหนังที่มีภาคต่อมากที่สุดในโลกและเป็นที่รักของชาวญี่ปุ่นมากๆ ความตั้งใจของฉันคือจะต้องมาชิมข้าวหน้าเทมปุระชื่อดังที่ออกทีวีเป็นว่าเล่นและชิมดังโงะเจ้าอร่อยโทระยะซึ่งทั้งสองร้านไม่ทำให้ฉันผิดหวังเลยแม้แต่น้อย อาหารสดใหม่รสชาดดีแถมราคาก็ถูกมากๆ อิ่มท้องแล้วก็ต้องไปเที่ยววัดที่ศักดิ์สิทธิ์ในย่านนี้ว่ากันว่าช่วยให้ชาวบ้านรอดพ้นจากการอดยากเมื่อสมัยหลายร้อยปีมาแล้ว จากนั้นก็เดินเลาะซอยข้างวัดไปเรื่อยๆก็จะถึงบ้านยามาโมะโตะซึ่งเปิดให้เข้าชมในราคา １００ เยนต่อท่าน ไหนๆจะมาชมสวนและบ้านแบบญี่ปุ่นแท้ๆแล้วก็อย่าลืมสั่งชาเขียวหรือขนมถั่วแดงร้อนมาทานขณะเพลิดเพลินกับวิวสวนสวยๆ บรรยากาศร่มรื่นและเงียบสงบจนไม่นึกว่ายังอยู่ในโตเกียว 2010.06.05
It’s one of the good points for the people living in Tokyo to be able to visit varietry galleries naturally : )
