On July 11, 2009, Sakura Hotel Hatagaya did a tour to watch FIREFLY in the night.

 

 

They are guests who joined our tour! (10 people joined. They are from Spain, USA, Germany, Thayland, and Sweden!)

Most of the guests haven't ever seen frying and lighting FIREFLY.

 

Around 5 PM, we depertured of our hotel.

So, we could watch nice Japanese garden and livers in this area,on day-time(can watch clearly, and on night time(light up garden!).

 

 

This is cascade.It's dinamic.

 

This is Japanese liver　(carp was swimming peacefully).

But, I heard that several countries eat them at chrismas day!

It's amazing!

 

One of the guest, from Sweden, had a very good video camera, so he could take good shot of firefly.

It's too bad that our camera couldn't take a good shot of firefly in the night...

(The light is too small to take a good picture...)

If you go there, and watch them, that would be much better than pictures.

 

 

 

Kanagawa Shinbun Fireworks Show was held in the Yokohama Minato

Mirai 21 area last night.

 

I avoided crowded stations, such as Minatomirai LineMinatomirai Station and  JR Negishi line Sakuragicho station ...

I got off at Minatomirai Line Nihon-odori station and walked to

Osambashi Pier.

 

 

 

A large cruise ship was 'standing' and occupied VIP seats.

 

About 8000 fireworks were displayed in the night sky.

 

Even after the fireworks, a lot of people stayed there ...

some are fascinated with the beautiful night view of Yokohama and

others enjoyed talking with friends.

 

 

Yukata and Hanabi ... what a beautiful combination!
