Dolphine Show in Tokyo (Shinagawa)

2017年3月31日2017年3月30日Posted in PlacesTagged Central TokyoLeave a comment

As far as I know, the only place you can see Delphine show in Tokyo is Aqua Park Shinagawa which is at Shinagawa Prince Hotel in central Tokyo. Just take JR (yamanote or keihintohoku) to go to Shinagawa station and make sure you go left at the exist and go down stairs, it’s in front of you.

Accessibility is good and there is also mid sized aquarium and small rides (merry go around and viking ride only..) so kids would really enjoy it.

Last time I went there was more than 10 years ago…at that time the aquarium is not so good but this time it has been upgraded!

But i say the BEST aquarium in TOKYO is not this one, the best is KASAI RINGKAI KOEN’s aquarium. I get to that later!

Akihabara SAKURA tree (in full bloom) update

This SAKURA tree (cherry blossom) is in full bloom now. It is right at Izumibashi, where you take about only 3min from Akihabara’s SHOWA DORI exit. When you get out of that exit, just make one right turn, then you keep going about 100meters. You’ll find this SAKURA tree soon after crossing Izumibashi (Izumi bridge).

KARASHIBI RAMEN around 12:00

, you must go to KARASHIBI RAMEN.　There are KARASHIBI RAMEN anad KARASHIBI TSUKEMEN, 2 shops next to each other. Both are famous and there are lots of people waiting.

We went to KARASHIBI TSUKEMEN this time to eat PAKUCHI MAZEMEN (Coreander ramen without soup). You can choose the level of hottness with 2 kids of indications. “KARA” (hot) and “SHIBI” (pins & needles…). I guess the hotness comes regular red peppers and this pins & needles comes from Japanese (or Chinese) mountain pepper?? So the taste is really addictively good but addictively hot!!!

KARASHIBI TSUKEMEN MAP Address: Chiyoda-ku, Kajichou, 2-10-10. (2min from Kanda Station) Kanda Station is next to Akihabara station by JR Yamanote or Keihintohoku line.

How amazing “White Day” gift

2017年3月15日Posted in Cultural things, Event, Sweets, 未分類Tagged Fruit and sweetsLeave a comment

You know Valentine’s day…on Feb 14th. In Japan, women give cholocates to men. I do not know why this is happening in Japan but it is the tradition…. Usually this is the day that girls ask boys out.. I mean she says that she like him. But in other countries (now I know), it is totally opposite. Why JAPAN~~??

Anyways, as a follow-up event of Valentine’s day in Japan, we have “White Day” where boys give girls something, candies or caramels..or even better present.

I got many candies from our co-workers, (yes because I gave cholocate to the) and among thier present, this one was cutest! Sooooo Cute!

Cute tiny tiny cholocates (but shape is cake!!!) how cute they are!
