Let's Rock!
On July 23rd(sat.), I went to YOYOGI PARK.
There was Oktober Fest, (normally said October Festa）.
People enjoyed dancing together,with beer glasses, eating and drinking during watching the people, and the festival was being a climax when I joined .
By the way,we prepare Beers of the world for Sakura Cafe Hatagaya's menu.
Let's try to drink them!
In Japan most ATM do not accept bank cards and credit cards
issued in other countries even if it is mega bank's ATM.
They accept domestic cards only.It's very inconvenient for visitors...
But no worries!
Look for Seven Eleven(convenience store) .
ATMs in Seven Eleven accept foreign country issued cards.
You can get cash anytime!In addition Japan Postal Bank's ATMs
also accept other country issued cards.

It comes from that "Yotsuya ghost story" was given the first public performance in Tokyo Nakamura Kabuki theater on July 26, 1825.
"Yotsuya ghost story" is the ghost story which is famous in Japan.
It is a general image that a Japanese ghost does not have a foot.
But why Japanese ghost have no foot?
As for the overseas ghost, a thing same as a figure during the lifetime seems to be most.
Is not it mysterious?
Can you ask about a reason?
Woman who has long hair peeping out over your shoulder,and behind you now.
How is image of ghost in your country?
We are happy to announce that lately the number of foreign guests at Hatagaya has been increasing steadily! Today's check-outs included guests from:
the USA
the Philippines
Spain
and Germany!
And a few minutes ago some guys from the Netherlands checked in. One of the fun parts of working at a hotel is that you meet people from all around the world on a daily basis!
Oh, and this is totally unrelated, but I really like this photo of Ai being absorbed in her work while the workers in the background are tearing down the wall next to her. XD

Have you ever eaten eel?
Today is "the day of the ox." Japanese often eat eel on the day of the ox.Why eat EEL on the day of the OX?
It is said that eel restaurants put the sign up saying
"it is better to eat something starts with U on the day of the ox. (Ox is "Ushi," eel is "Unagi" in Japanese.) So let's eat eel!"
Well, ox and eel are not quite the same, but eel is delicious! (to me, anyway.) If you haven't tried one yet, please give it a try!

About 20min walk from our hotel,you will see an outstanding building in
Inogashira street.
It's Tokyo Camii,which is the biggest Turkish mosque in Tokyo.
The interior decoration is made by Turkish craftsmen.
Non-Muslims are welcome to see inside the mosque.
In 1st floor there are a meeting place,a souvenir shop
and Tukish culture centre.
Coming up to 2nd floor,you see a huge praying hall with splended
decoration.You can come in except praying times.
My favourite is a terrace just outside the praying hall.

Yesterday we had our 4th "Traveler's Cafe" at Sakura Cafe Hatagaya!
Many new faces showed up and we had lots of fun talking about our travel experiences. This month's topic was "Foreigners / Japanese people are strange". It was so interesting to hear what everyone had to say. We laughed and drank a lot.

Thanks everyone who joined us last night! We're looking forward to next month`s gathering.
Hope to see you soon! (^O^)/

3776m high Mt.Fuji opened at 1 July.
I went there to get to the summit.
As it was still rainy season,most of passengers in a bus to Mt.Fuji 5th station
from Shinjuku West bus terminal were foreign tourists.
I started climbing at 10:30PM.It was so windy!!
Above 7th station it became like a storm.
I got to main 8th station at 3400m around 3:30AM,there still was a thick and chilly fog.
As I knew all mountain huts after here were still closed,I finally gave up getting to the peak.
I don't have any photos this time.
I took the video in the descending route.You see it was still very windy!
I will try again in this season.

July 7th was "Tanabata" in most of the parts of Japan.
I went to pre-opening ceremony of Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival.
I said "pre" because the actual festival events took place from July 8th to July 10th.
At the ceremony, there was a prayer for safety and success of the festival.
They also introduced "Orihime." They were more like campaign ladies though.
I saw a nice "Tanzaku" for Tohoku. I hope our prayers reach there.
Did you make a wish this year?

Nagoya hingegen hat mich fast ein bisschen an Berlin erinnert an manchen Stellen. Die Haeuser standen nicht so extrem dicht an dicht wie in Tokyo und waren nicht so hoch. Es wirkte irgendwie alles etwas geraeumiger.
Das bin ich vor dem Schloss in Nagoya. Der Fisch soll eigentlich ein Delphin sein, mein Kumpel hat ihn mir aber als seinen Goldfisch vorgestellt. ;)
Das hier ist ein Coffee Shop, der in Nagoya sehr bekannt und beliebt ist. Sie haben wirklich eine interessante Auswahl an Kaffee dort. Ich hatte welchen mit Zimt und Schlagsahne, der einfach nur toll geschmeckt hat.
Es war wirklich ein super Wochenende! Am liebsten waere ich direkt weiter durch Japan getourt, aber die Arbeit rief. Na ja, die naechste Reise kommt bestimmt. :)

It's muggy.
I feel anxious if I could survive hot summer lies ahead.
Today, I'd just like to introduce a reliable partner for summer in Japan.
It is the wind-bell.
It is made of metal, glass or pottery.
When the wind blows, it produces the sound that makes us feel cool.
I feel the heat eased when I hear the sound of wind-bell.

Do you like Onsen? (Hot spa?) I do! (^^)
I went to Nikko last weekend. Nikko - Kinugawa area has one of the best onsens in Japan.
At Kinugawa-Onsen station, you can take a foot bath.
One of my favorite is Meotobuchi Onsen. Here, you can enjoy more than 10 different kinds of Roten-buro. (Outdoor bath). It is about an hour and a half away from Kinugawa Onsen station by bus.
And... If you go to Nikko area, be sure to eat Yuba (Tofu based) dinner! It's delicious!
To go to Nikko from our hotel, there is a direct train that leaves from Shinjuku station. For more info visit Tobu Railways website↓

And if you decide to stop by in Asakusa on the way from or back from Nikko, be sure to stay at our sister hostel in Asakusa!↓

Hi,there!
I am Yoshitaka,a new receptionist.I came here in mid June.
I lived in Aizuwakamatsu,Fukushima prefecture before I moved to Tokyo.
It's my hometown which is 100km away from the nuclear plants.
Although the city is very famous sightseeing spot among Japanese,
the tourism and farming are seriously damaged by the accidents.
I hope that it will recover from the disaster soon.
I've travelled over 50 countries in this 15 years.
I am glad to help tourists from other countries to travel in Japan.

Have you heard of the Japanese Tanabata festival?
Once upon a time in the universe, the stars Orihime (the weaving princess) and Hikoboshi (cow herder star) met and fell in love with each other.
However, they were so much in love that, after the
marriage, Orihime would no longer weave cloth and Hikoboshi would no longer herd cows.
The god of the universe became mad, and
separated the two by laying the huge Miky Wayriver between them. Ever
since then, Orihime and Hikoboshi are allowed to see each other only once a
year on Tanabata, the night of July 7.
The story is romantic or sad??
