Come over! Welcome to Kanazawa in Japan.

Where do you want to travel?

What if it is your future honeymoon?

You might consider many elements of travel in order to create excellent experiences. You shouldn’t select a country from typical tour programs. 

Particularly if you plan a honeymoon, you have to think about two things. One is the positive part, unforgettable excellent experiences, and the another is the conservative part, safety, cost and eating.

The important element linking conservative and excellent experiences is eating.

When you eat good food in the country you have traveled to for the first time, it has to make you happy. Nonetheless, continuous similar foods on every meal time should make you bored. Then you should choose a country in which there are various foods. Japan has many local foods like ramen, sushi, tempura and many foreign cuisines like French, Italian, Chinese and so on. These foods never make you bored, moreover these foods present fantastic experiences to you.



Well, I will talk about the unforgettable, excellent experiences. These are among intersections with sightseeing in cities and in nature, some cultures, some sports or leisure and interaction with local people. Of course Japan has all these things. And Kanazawa with its distinctive neighborhoods has all these things as well, but Kanazawa has something different from other cities in Japan. It is the unparalleled ambience that is melded together with the past, the future and now. Moreover Kanazawa has a kind of moist climate and gentle citizens, along with many breathtaking sights with four seasons. You who come in contact with them will become happy. If you agree that the pleasure of traveling is to share present time during your stay, which depends on the history and the future, Kanazawa can present the matured honey aroma to you.

Karuta competitions by the 100 Poems

Image
I saw on TV news that many young foreigners competed karuta competitions by the 100 Poems. I was surprised at that, as well as I was interested why they played karuta competitions and why they knew how to play. Because karuta competitions are so difficult that the number of those who play the game isn’t large even in Japan. Eventually, I never have played karuta competitions. Incidentally, the 100 Poems, “hyakunin-issyu” in Japanese, are familiar with Japanese People. Japanese people in most cases learn the 100 Poems in their junior high-schools or high-schools, and they sometimes play a game of competing accuracy and quickness with several people that players grab a card written with the only second phrases of a poem from cards on tatami listening to full phrases of a poem. Of course I learned the 100 Poems in my junior high school and sometimes played the game, but I was a weak player of karuta games. Karuta competitions are a severer sport than the game above, so the sport dema

Warikan Custom In Japan

Image
Culture in a country is the result made by the specific customs based on the thoughts of the people, if it is true, to try to look out for the specific custom of a country where you visit is a joyful challenge during your traveling time. When I visited foreign countries I experienced the different customs from Japan and I was happy to know it. Many anthropologists say that Japanese culture is especially different from cultures of other countries. Then foreigners visiting Japan will feel pleasure by finding out the different customs from their countries. Warikan is the one specific Japanese custom. Warikan is to split the bill among members who ate dishes and drank in restaurants and it is generally a popular custom in Japan. I have a foreign friend who has been in Japan from Australia and I sometimes have drinking parties with him. He knows Japanese customs but perhaps his true sense depends on western customs. At paying the bill when I suggested “sloping warikan” to him as a mat

Satsuma-biwa music

Hiromi Hakozaki, who is a Satsuma-biwa player, played biwa music at the machiya of Onishi-tune-shoten and explained how biwa instruments became its present form. I want to write about one of Japan’s specific sound instruments according to her explanation. Before my explanation I want to mention my impression after listening to her play, I said to her in this way. “The sounds of Satsuma-biwa is calm in terms that it allows a human physiological phenomenon like that blood pressure will be peaceful, but is very deep in terms that it lets the human spirit vibrate strongly.” Biwa v.s. Lute Biwa(Japanese lute) came far from Persia in the 8th century via The Silk Road. The picture above is an ancient Persian lute instrument(front and back) which is stored as a national treasure in Syosoin next to Todaiji or Kasuga Shrine in Nara City from the 8th century. There is an opinion that the lute in Syosoin is the original biwa(lute). And the long history for thirteen centuries in Japan tra
