I went to Jingu Stadium to watch baseball game, Yakult vs. Hanshin on rany night. Yakult is home team of Tokyo (Giants, too) . Hanshin is home team of Osaka and Kobe area.
Hanshin is very popular in Tokyo, too. So many Hanshin fans are in Jingu Stadium. Hanshin fans fly blowing balloons at the 7th inning.
Yakult fan’s lucky item is the umbrella that is smaller than normal. Yakult’s mascot “Tsubakuro” (as a swallow) is on the tip.
The free space “BORN FREE WORKS” is in Yuigahama beach, Kamakura. Kamakura is the suburbs of Tokyo and Yokohama and along the seashore.
When I went the other day, The knit brand “n100″ held their exhibition sale. BORN FREE WORKS’s owner Kako-san is a surfer. She is usually selling a hammock there.
The most Japanese stylish departmernt store Isetan renewed the second floor under the ground. A floor called “Isetan Girl” opened.
The pretty brands which girls of the early twenties from high teens like are introduced. blondy, rich, Plush & Lush, Cher, Swati, CLASKY and so on. I heard that many girls were in line on the night befor the opening day.
These brand’s are casual brands not luxury brands. Now Japanese fashion trend tends to cheap fashion. Is the one of reason the global economic recession ?
I ride on Yakatabune, the traditional party boat with some friends.
the ship serves good Japanese dinner… sashimi, tofu and Tempura was served as soon as these are fried immediately.
If you’d like to ride that big group as 20 people or more, you can rent whole one Yakatabune.Or small group, you’ll ride it with other groups.

I went to Asakusa with my friend and we stopped by Funawa for sweets. We had Anmitsu and kusamochi.
Anmitsu is made of small cubes of agar jelly, a white translucent jelly made from red algae or seaweed which served in a bowl with sweet azuki bean paste or anko.
kusamochi is a rice cake mixed with yomogi. If you have a sweet tooth, you will love them!!
me & my friend spent a beautiful afternoon at Laduree!
you can order the afternoon tea set by couple of persons.
the salon is inspired from Marie Antoinette’s private house.
Tokyo Disney Resort will host a year-long 25th anniversary celebration under the slogan of “Unlock Your Dreams” with a variety of exciting programs held throughout the Resort.
I went to Tokyo Disney Sea with the “After 6 passport”. After 6 Passports can be used for Park admission from 6 p.m. on weekdays excluding National Holidays. the “Tower of Terror” is glowing with a weird blue light.
They are Ningyo-yaki which are small snack cakes and are made by cooking batter of flour, eggs and sugar in an iron mold from Mihato dou in ASAKUSA. Ningyo-yaki is a standard souvenir from ASAKUSA.
their original shape of pigeons are well-padded. They look cute and yummy!!
