Why don't you try a roller coaster called " Thunder Dolphin"? It's sooooooooooo scary ( for me...... maybe....), but good for fun!!

Open until 20:00, everyday ( it might close due to the weather condition. )

* How to get to Korakuen from the hotel ( it will takes about 30minutes to get there )

Inaricho Station. ( 3minutes walk from us )
↓　Metro ( Ginza line)
Kanda Sation.
↓　JR ( Chuo line )
Ochanomizu Station.
↓ 　JR ( Sobu line )
Suidobashi Station.

There are some night buses from Tokyo Station or Shinjuku Station. It would be good if you haven't got a JR rail pass. The price is reasonable.
Also, you can choose the different type of seats. If you want to sleep more comfy then choose the 3 seater ( wide seat ) If you want a normal one take the standard seat.
You can book a seat from the link as shown below.

On Sunday, 17th of February, the 2nd Tokyo Marathon took place. The runners started from The Building of Metropolitan Government, turned in front of Asakusa Thunder Gate and finished at bayside part of Tokyo called Odaiba. Since Asakusa is very close to our hotel I took advantage of my lunch-break and went to have a look. Here are two photoes to see what it felt like to host 370.000 runners, and that was only one fifth of all who wished to participate. The number of bystanders can only be guessed. Maybe next year I'll try and see how far can I get... Luka

The second report from Edo Tokyo Museum. The first photo represents a 'picture card' store selling, among other things, Ukiyoe or Paintings of the Floating World as they are also known in the West. You can think of it as an Edo equivalent of today's manga cafes. The other is the first taxi in late Meiji Tokyo. Early Ford model would take you anywhere within city limits for 1 yen. The contrast with cabs nowadays could not be more striking. All this and whole lot more awaits guests of the Museum as well as individual guides in most world languages, to take you through the maze of distant, not so distant and recent past of this part of our little planet. Take the most of it. Luka...

Edo Tokyo Museum is located at Ryokoku district, right next to Kokugikan or Sumo Tournament Hall. It is huge edifice that displays entire streets from Edo and Meiji periods in their natural size. I've uploaded two pictures, the first is Kabuki theatre of Edo period seen from the outside and the second one is a scene from famous Kabuki play Sukeroku recreated. The museum is just two metro stations away from our hotel and I would definitely recommend it too all history lovers. I've taken a lot of pictures there and will upload them in my next blog entries. Enjoy! Luka...
