Cherry blossom viewing party at Kinuta Park 2014

Hiro — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 14:12:30 +0000

I have been to the cherry blossom viewing party sponsored by my friends at Kinuta Park together with Kojiro following last year.
At dusk, it was very beautiful that the pink of cherry blossoms was gradually being dyed light orange.

When Kojiro was sniffing the ground, it became such a thing by chance! (the petal of cherry blossoms was under his tip of the nose!)

He didn’t notice that though.
In addition, all the photos were taken using “Fine Camera”.

Tokyo Sky Tree

Hiro — Sat, 16 Nov 2013 11:40:06 +0000

I’ve been to Tokyo Sky Tree opened in May, 2012 with my friend from USA.
This is the photo which I looked up at and took from the SKYTREE entrance of the fourth floor of Tokyo Solamachi.
The top can’t be seen.

This is the photo I took from the smoking space where is just off the SKYTREE entrance.

Although we reached there before 2:30PM., there were many entrance candidates and we couldn’t purchase a ticket until 6PM.
So, we decided to get a numbered ticket, and to see and turn around other places till 6PM.
My friend said, “Is this Disneyland??”.
Because we found the planetarium the “Tenku” when we looked for the place where we could be interested in inside Tokyo Solamachi, we reserved the tickets from 5:00, and went out of Tokyo Solamachi.
However, we couldn’t find out any other nice place to see, we went to an Italy restaurant Palazzo SAN GUSTO and we ate the pizza (small) instead of a snack, and returned to Solamachi.

Then, we loitered the inside in Solamachi and looked at the planetarium from 5:00. (I might have slept about 1/4 of the show.)
We could rank with the long line which purchases a ticket at last at 6PM, stood in a line for about 1 hour, and purchased the ticket.
Then we reached “TEMBO Deck” 350-m-above ground a little ago 7PM.
We purchased immediately the admission ticket of “TEMBO Galleria” which is on 100m from there further, and, 10 minutes afterward, were able to arrive at “TEMBO Galleria.”
The view from there is this.

Although outside was pitch-black and it was beautiful as it was, I wanted to see the scene of daylight time.
At least, the night scene of “TEMBO Galleria”doesn’t look great on us, two old guys!

With this photo, Tokyo Tower looks small to in the distance.

We returned to “TEMBO DECK”, after inspecting briefly. And we did the coffee break by SKYTREE CAFE on the floor 340.
Then, this is the photo at “glass floor” of the same floor. Although it had a tremendous impact in reality, because there were many people and we had to went through quickly, we couldn’t take in a scenic overlook of there very well.

This is the photo from the smoking area again.
The tower was lit up brightly.
It is said that it is the Christmas limited writing a “white tree.”

When I looked at the side of the tower suddenly, the beautiful moon appeared.
Fortunately, I was able to put them into one photo somehow.

BBQ at Hinohara Village in Tokyo.

Hiro — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:36:43 +0000

I was allowed to participate in this chance that the member of the cheery blossom viewing of Kinuta Park takes the lead and gives BBQ every year to the Campbell lodge at Hinohara-mura in Tokyo.
Cooking was not only BBQ, there were many handmade things, and those were Oyhee. ( Oyhee is the superlative word of delicious in Japanese.) A hill at the back was a forest under development, and was plenty of anion.
Many people talked to Kojiro and treated him kindly, so he was in high-tensioned. As for me, it was an unlimited delightful as his father, I’m not a dog though.
Although it was a day’s trip this time, I thought that I would look for a vicinity pet hotel next year.

Cherry blossom viewing at Kinuta Park

Hiro — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 14:18:52 +0000

Because my friend for thirty years suggested me join cherry blossom viewing at Kinuta Park, I’ve taken Kojiro to the park.
She had us join her friends group and we were so happy!!!
Recently, Kojiro seemed to be shy around strangers, but today they treated him kindly and I was relieved to see that.
When I went for a walk with Kojiro, we met a lot of dogs.
But, unfortunately I hesitated to ask them to take photos of them, because I would say we might not be able to meet them again.
Anyway, cherry blossom was beautiful and a little bit of cherry blossoms falling in the evening and a bamboo forest which I haven’t seen nowadays make a more attractive atmosphere.

Minato Mirai Walk

Hiro — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:18:03 +0000

After a three-month lull, I’ve gone for a walk to Minato-mirai with Kojiro.
From Yokohama station, we strolled to Minato-mirai.
At Yokohama Museum of Art （Minato-mirai）, we took a little rest and I took photos of Yokohama Landmark Tower and back of Kojiro (he wore NY T-shirt and jeans).
After that, we moved to Dog Garden Cafe at Landmark Plaza.
Kojiro ate boiled dumpling for dog in several tens of seconds and I had lip-smacking chocolate rum latte.
Then, I took a photo of the back of Yokohama Grand InterContinental Hotel on the way to a park behind Pachifico Yokohama (a Convention Center).
At the park, I took photos of Landmark Tower again and Yokohama Bay Bridge.
Including two rests, it was three and half hours walk and we got worn out.

New Year’s visit to Enoshima shrine.

Hiro — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:18:22 +0000

New Year’s visit to Ejima shrine in Enosima Island.

After that, enjoyed illuminated “Sea Candle”(beacon) and other illuminations at Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden.

Enoshima rice bowl at Harumi Restaurant was the perfect!

Renewed Tokyo Station

Hiro — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 03:25:58 +0000

In order to go to “ad:tech Tokyo 2012″ (http://www.adtech-tokyo.com/en/index.html), I got off a train at Tokyo station.

When I went through the ticket gates of Tokyo station, a lot of people were looking up and taking pictures.

So, I remembered that the Tokyo station had been renewed on this October.

I also took some pictures of the station because it shows the similar appearance of opening the station at 1915 and was beautiful.

Yokohama Walk

Hiro — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:56:09 +0000

For the first time in so long I’ve been to Minato-mirai as a walk with my dog Kojiro.

Kojiro was in so high spirits comparing with a daily walk around the neighborhood somehow.
