☆BAGEL☆

ベーグル.jpg
Gestern war ein guter Tag um Broetchen zu backen! Ich habe versucht, "Bagels" zu backen, weil ich damit bis jetzt noch keinen Erfolg hatte...
Aber dieses Mal hat endlich alles geklappt!!! Und natuerlich hat das mir gut geschmeckt!!
Es ist echt sehr schade, dass Ihr die Bagels nicht probieren koennt.

Maybe, you have ever heard some names of his films like My neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, or Howl's Moving Castle...!?
There is a museum in Tokyo where you can feel the atmosphere of "Miyazaki-world".

In general,NAGOYA is called "The Navel of Japan"..But actually,this city is well known as one of the famous gourmet cities in this country.As attached the photo(upper one) herewith,if you go to any small cafe around the city in the morning,you may be served such a big breakfast.In addition to that,there are many kind of foods which typify the city. I was fascinated the taste of Fried Wing of chiken (lower photo) when I visited Nagoya last year and had them at the Izakaya. Therefore, I recommend you to try any foods as special product during your stay in NAGOYA.

If you have enough time in the big city Tokyo and you want to relax by nature,
then you should go to the countryside Miyazaki!!
There in Summer, you can enjoy some marine sports like Surfing, fishing and camping as well.

☆Happy New Year☆


2007 has been coming!!
What did you do on the new year's day?
I headed back to my hometown, Nagano after working on the 31st of December and spent the day with my family. We went to a shrine called "Suwa Taisha" on that day. It is the one of the oldest shrines of the Shinto religion of Japan.
Tons of people visited there and made wishes for their health, business, study, love ,,,, stuff like that. What did you make a wish for this year?

I hope this year will be a lovely year for you :)

Micky mouse Monument@Tokyo Disney Sea (06 X'mas ver.)

Tokyo Disney Sea

It has been 5 years since Tokyo Disney Sea opened,so I visited there on X'mas eve of last year.I saw that this is quite different from Tokyo Disney Land because SEA contains lots of romantic and European style spots. In my case, I prefer SEA than LAND. Please just feel the difference between two of them and let us know anything about them you will have discovered during your stay of our hotel.

Attached the photo of Micky mouse monument I took.
