I often have business trip and like to have travel.
In this blog, I would like to introduce hotels I stayed at for now.
Besides I also introduce restaurant, the scene etc.
From 2017, we started introducing "Golf Course" I visited.
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
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.
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.
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.
Last week I went to Shinagawa on business and had lunch with our business partner.
The place we had is "Restaurant CELLY with Sky Bar".
It is located on the 30th floor of Shinagawa GOOS.
The view is good, foods are also goo~~ and we had good time.
I went to Kyoto on business and stayed at Mistui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijyo in Kyoto city.
This hotel is located along Shijyo street(between Karasuma and Omiya station of Hankyu train) and it takes around 10 mins from Shijyo(and Karasuma) station on foot.
When you access to this hotel from Kyoto station, you can take subway to Shijyo station (2nd one from Kyoto station) and walk.
I think it is convenient because we can access Kawara-machi(town) and Gion on foot.
We can find many kind of restaurants, shop etc..
I had a reservation of single room.
The size of the room is normal and almost all kinds of amenity are prepared, toothbrush, razor, shampoo and something.
One thing I like is that there is large public bath on 1st floor.
When you are tired, it is the best way to take big bath.
We need to take towels that is prepared in the room.
Breakfast is offered on 2nd floor's restaurant and it is Kyoto style food as my movie shows. All foods are very good but what I recommend is rice.
I just up new movie on youtube.
In Vol052, I would like to introduce Sutera Harbor Magellan in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, filmed in 2015 October.
Kota Kinabalu is located in Borneo island and Sutera Habor is in Sabah state.
Sutera Habor has 3 main building, "MARINA COUNTRY CLUB", "THE PACIFIC SUTERA HOTEL" and "THE MAGELLAN SUTERA RESORT".
I like to take pictures and the following is one of my best shot so far.
The place is Sutera Harbor in Kota-Kinabalu.
Sutera Harbor is one of may most favorite resort hotel.
I went to Osaka on business and bought lunch box as usual at Shinagawa station.
This time I bought "Makunouchi Gozen"
Gozen(御膳) means "meal" that is polite word but I think it is difficult to explain about "Makunouchi(幕ノ内)"...
Generally speaking, "Makunouchi" means lunch box that includes rice and several side dishes.
When you want to buy this kind of lunch box, you can say to shop-staff, "Makunouchi Bento Wo Kudasai ?"(I want to buy Makunouchi lunch box)
It has been a bit of long time since I up my movie last time.
In Vol051, I introduce "Ark Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi" in Osaka, Japan.
I often go to Osaka lately on business and stayed at many hotels and enjoyed staying, taking pictures, having lunch/dinner, sight-seeing etc.
This hotel is located just in front of Nagahori station(Sakai-suji line) and so convenient for visiting.
But I visited from Nihonbashi station because I wanted to see the scene along Sakai-suji street. It took 15mins to the hotel.
There are many kinds of restaurant along this street and it is convenient for lunch/dinner.
I reserved "Single-room" and it was general "Single-room" in Japan.
I think foreigners feel it a bit of tiny.
The price was reasonable.
