This summer I attempted to reach the summit of Mt.Fuji to see sunrise
Sunrise was very beautiful but up there was just so cold that couldn't barely wait for sun rises.
If you want to attempt Mt Fuji you should take warm clothing with you. It is very important.

Are you fond of "Teddy Bears"? When I tripped around Nasu Highland in Tochigi last Novvember,I visited the Teddy Bear Museum. The bulding appears just to be a normal western house. However, once I entered, it was as if I were a resident in the world of teddy bears.... Ichiro

"Yokohama"is one of the most famous sightseeing cities in Japan because there are so many exotic spots there. Let me introduce three of them to you. First of all, How about having many varieties of Curry and rice at "Yokohama Curry Museum"?You can try to taste Curry and rice which come from some of popular restaurants not only from in Japan, but also India. Secondly, shall we walk around "Yamashita Park" along the Harbour..? Especially "Red Bricksheds "(attached in above) it is as if we were walking in the western city. Finally, we will take you to"China Town". China Town provides great variety and something for everyone. For example, after you indulge in a cup of Chinese tea, shop for some souvinirs while biting down on a Chinese pork pie in the arcades, or smack your lips over Chinese dinner at a top class restaurant. We would highly recommend "Yokohama" as a great stop on any itinerary.
