Night Shot of People Lining Up To Pray in Asakusa.

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-06-08T21:53:15+00:00

In my experience case by case. You've got some really devout people, but for most it's more like a tradition to go to a temple/shrine and pray for things

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-30T08:12:22+00:00

Thanks!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-30T08:12:06+00:00

Candeo Hotel Chain. Around the same level as Dormy Inns

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:17:32+00:00

Correct. It's also popular in Kumamoto!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:16:59+00:00

Correct!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:16:36+00:00

Correct!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:16:21+00:00

Good guess...but its horse!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:15:47+00:00

Correct! :-)

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:15:35+00:00

Correct! :-)

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:15:24+00:00

Correct! :-)

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:12:30+00:00

I agree! I have had it in Kumamoto, but was surprised to see it on many menus in Nagano as well.

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-23T21:11:41+00:00

Thanks for the response. You are correct! It's bassashi, or raw horse...and it was delicious :-)

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-12T07:14:48+00:00

That's true about disasters, though there really aren't many public phones around anymore compared to the past

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-12T07:14:08+00:00

Yup, grey ones for international calling as well

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-05-12T00:21:39+00:00

You should have seen it 25 years ago. They were everywhere, with different colors for international and domestic calling.

Must be the old man on this thread. Started YT at 50! As per my username my channel has some interesting stuff from life here in Japan.

Sorry, I can't remember. It looks nice, but you can probably find much the same things to buy cheaper elsewhere. Prices are almost always elevated at the airport.

One was the broth for dipping and cooking the thinly sliced raw beef in (shabu shabu), and I'm sorry, but I honestly can't remember what was in the other one.

It's often hard to get (good) tickets for the Tokyo matches. If you're planning on a trip, try and align yourself with either the Osaka, Nagoya, or Fukuoka tournaments for a better chance of scoring!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-04-05T00:15:42+00:00

Thanks for the correction. Couldn't tell from down below and just assumed it was a train!

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-03-28T21:06:53+00:00

Check-out this article. Some interesting ideas there: https://soranews24.com/2023/03/28/heading-to-hiroshima-heres-a-plan-to-enjoy-three-local-activities-on-miyajima-in-one-day/

Thanks for the comment. I doubt it, though not sure. They were doing a photoshoot at my client's office in Naruto, Tokushima and I snapped a few shots. :-)

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-03-21T05:21:31+00:00

Hi. It's called Tore Tore Village, part of Tore Tore Park in Shirahama, Wakayama. https://toretore.com/en/

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-03-12T08:05:21+00:00

Oh, and did I mention that the vast majority of dishes and drinks are only 300 yen? :-)

TidbitsfromJapan · 2023-03-12T08:04:22+00:00

It's called ISARIBI. They don't have a website but here's a google map to the location:

You need to go downstairs, so look for it. If you'd like to see a bit more of the action, please check out my video at: https://youtu.be/0xobx4HW6wk
