I have already mentioned that I had gone to Kyoto and bought lunch box at Tokyo station.

It was shao-mai and fried rice lunch box.
According to the dictionary, "shao-mai" means "steamed Chinese pork dumpling wrapped in a thin flour‐and‐water pancake".

This is one point Japanese lesson.

You can see "海老シュウマイ" and "肉シュウマイ" in Japanese at the 1st picture.

Lunch Box of Pork Cutlet

When I went to Osaka on business last time, I bought lunch box of pork cutlet as the following pictures show.

Japanese lecture just starts !
"とんかつ" on the picture means "pork cutlet" and "弁当" means "lunch box".
Remembering "弁当"="lunch box", when you come to Japan and you see the characters of "弁当", you can easily understand that it is lunch box.

As you can buy it at the store of the station, please try it !
(I bought it at the store of Tokyo station)

[Introducing Golf Course] Japan Saitama pref. Adnis Ogawa Country Club

I just up my movie of Introducing Gold Course.
In Vol004, I would like to introduce "Adonis Ogawa Country Club" in Saitama pref., Japan.

It was in 2007 when I visited there and the pictures are old.
I remember it took about 1hour 45mins from the central of Tokyo by car via highway without traffic jam.

Sorry, I do not remember about the detail well but so far as the record of my score, it is a bit of difficult course.

When I go to the course again, I write down the detail.
Please refer to my movie below.

Oh! Mt.Fuji

I went to Osaka last month on business and took Shinkan-Sen.
The following pictures are Mt.Fuji and were taken around Shizuoka pref.
As it was February, snow on the top of the mountain was remaining.
I think Mt.Fuji is so beautiful in all season.

I give you one advise when you come to Japan and see Mt.Fuji from Shinkan-sen.

(1) In the case you take Shinkan-Sen from Tokyo to Osaka, Kyoto etc.
   ==> Making a reservation for the right side seat
(2) In the case you take Shinkan-Sen from Osaka, Tokyo etc. to Tokyo
   ==> Making a reservation for the left side seat

In both case you can see Mt.Fuji well !

[Introducing Golf Course] Vol003 Japan Kanagawa pref. Hakone Yuno-hana Golf Course

Vol003 for Introducing Golf Course !

I would like to introduce Hakone Yuno-hana Golf Course.

It is just today's Japanese lesson.
"Yuno-hana" is described "湯の花" in Kanji.
"湯" means "hot water" and "花" does "flower", "の" is Japanese Hiragana and means "of".


I think Hakone is famous for one of the tourist site and there are many hotels with hot spring.

Off course, there are many golf courses in Hakone.
Hakone Yuno-hana Golf Course I would introduce is one of them.

I think as it is resort golf course, the distance is not so long and the fairway is wide, you may be able to get the best score.

On the way, you can see the beautiful scene such as mountain etc. and enjoy not only playing golf but also sight-seeing.

[Introducing Golf Course] Vol002 Japan Saitama pref. Kamisato Golf Course (日本 埼玉 上里ゴルフ場)

It is just Vol002 of "Introducing Golf Course".

In Vol002, I introduce Kamisato Golf Course in Saitama prefecture, Japan.

It is just Japanese lesson !
Saitama prefecture is described "埼玉県" and it is the prefecture in contact with Tokyo at the north side.
Kaminosato is described "上の里" in Kanji.
"上" means "up" and "里" does "village".


It is a bit of far from the central of Tokyo and it takes about 1hour and half by car via high way without traffic jam.

The courses are almost flat and wide and you can make tee-shot without caring.
It is possible you can got the best score.

[Introducing Golf Course] Vol001 Japan Chiba pref. Tokyo Bay Country Club (日本 千葉 東京湾カントリークラブ)

I like playing golf, apart from my score...
And I just started introducing Golf Course I visited just like hotel, restaurant etc. I did so far.

In Vol001, introducing Tokyo Bay Country Club in Japan, Chiba prefecture.
As for the name described "東京湾カントリークラブ" in Kanji,
"東京" means, off course?, "Tokyo"
and "湾" does "Bay".

It is located in Chiba prefecture.
When you go to the golf course from Tokyo, you can use "Tokyo wan Akuarain" that is long tunnel and bridge between Kawasaki and Kisarazu city.
On the bridge, you can see the beautiful view of Tokyo Bay.
Between the tunnel and bridge area, there is a rest area named "UMIHOTARU" that has many restaurant, shops etc. and you can also enjoy there.
The following is formal web site:  https://www.umihotaru.com/en/


From the central of Tokyo, I think it takes within 1 hour by car and the location is good.


There are 3 kinds of course(9 holes) named Kubota(久保田), Kuranami(蔵波) and Nagaura(長浦). I played in Kubota and Kuranami and my movie introduces these 2 course.

As there are many holes that have dog-leg at around 230 yards, I think 3W is enough for tee-shot.
