Some of our guests who checked out this morning:
A group of friends from Malaysia. They were taking photos together before they left, so we jumped at the opportunity and took some together with them :)
These two guests are from Argentina and stayed with us for over week. They were always up for a little small talk with our staff. Their backpacks look really heavy, don't they? XD
We hope you all enjoyed your time in Japan. Have a safe trip! See you again some day! (^O^)/
Have you taste 'Japanese Sake' in Japan?★
You can try to drink them in Sakura Cafe Hatagaya (In Sakura Hotel Hatagaya)♪
Most of them are 13% to 15 % ABV.
Each sake prices are 650 yen/ 1 cup.
We have 'Trial Sake Set' , with 1,000 yen.
How about to taste them in Sakura Cafe Hatagaya, during your stay in Sakura Hotel Hatagaya?

Have you ever drink this juice?
This is made of tamarind,a kind of beans.
I found this juice in Israel and Jordan before.
I met tamarind juice again in Thai food supermarket in Tokyo!
Do you have this kind of drink in your country?
Today, Sariko and Riko put up the photos for the second part of the "Tohoku Bokujo" exhibition in our hotel lobby!
It seemed quite simple at first, but it was quite a bit of work to adjust all the photos correctly.
It took them about 3 hours to put up everything. But now the lobby looks great again. It looked a bit empty after we had taken down the photos of the first exhibition.
You can see the all the new photos in the lobby of Sakura Hotel & Cafe Hatagaya. (^O^)/

Am Montag Morgen (21. Mai), ca. 7:30 Uhr japanischer Zeit wird u.a. von Tokyo aus eine ringförmige Sonnenfinsternis zu beobachten sein!! Wir sind alle schon sehr gespannt, und hoffen, dass das Wetter mitspielt. ^^
Und das Beste ist, seit heute morgen haben wir sogar die passende Ausrüstung dafür.
Eine meiner Kolleginnen beim Sakura Hotel Hatagaya hat auf unserem Twitter Account gepostet: "Wo bekommt man eigentlich Brillen für die Sonnernfinsternis her??" Und daraufhin hat sich doch tatsächlich ein Hersteller gemeldet, und uns heute morgen eine Handvoll Brillen vorbeigebracht. Kostenlos!
Ist das nicht supernett? Wir haben uns natürlich riesig gefreut.
Jetzt kann die Sonnenfinsternis kommen!
Ich werde am Montag zu besagtem Zeitpunkt übrigens gerade auf dem Weg zuｒ Arbeit sein, also dürfte ich das Grossereignis zumindest nicht verschlafen.

I went to Tokyo Big Sight to see Design Festa last weekend.
A lot of cosplayers joined here to perform their cosplay.
This is a kind of art!
What cosplay do you like?
Next Design Festa comes in this November.
I recommend you to join or see this big art event.
Hier ein paar Eindrücke:
Menschen, Menschen und noch mehr Menschen. Natürlich wusste ich vorher, dass ich in Shibuya nicht allein durch die Straßen wandern würde, aber dieser Andrang hat mich dann doch etwas überrascht. Auf der Omotesando türmten sich die Autos fast übereinander, und die Menschenmassen auf den Bürgersteigen erinnerten glatt an den Tokyo Marathon.
Einer der Gründe hierfür war sicherlich das neue "Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku" Einkaufszentrum, liebevoll "Omohara" abgekürzt, das im April dieses Jahres Eröffnung feierte. Das Gebäude ist schon sehr beeindruckend von außen, mit dem verspiegelten Eingangsbereich und der grünen Dachterrasse. Einen Blick ins Innere habe ich mir angesichts der ganzen Leute dann vorerst aber doch verkniffen. ;)
Eine Demo für bessere Kindererziehungsbedingungen fand an dem Nachmittag auch gerade statt, aber die fiel eher spärlich aus, und war ganz offenbar nicht der Grund für den Menschanauflauf ringsrum.
Der kleine ältere Herr mit seiner riesigen Dogge zog da schon mehr Neugierige an.
Der Crêpestand war erwartungsgemäß auch völlig überlaufen, und da ich ohnehin noch verabredet war, fand mein Sonntagsspaziergang ein etwas abruptes Ende. Aber ein interessanter Nachmittag war es in jedem Fall. :)
I went for a walk around my neighbourhood this morning. Spring in Japan is so beautiful! Summers are hot and humind, so people prefer to stay inside air-conditioned rooms but during spring the weather is just perfect. We've had a couple of warm and sunny days lately, so flowers are blooming everywhere. Here are a few pictures I took.
Azaleas and all kinds of flowers are blooming everywhere!
I love Japanese temple gardens.
I really hope the good weather continues for a while. ^^
Hamarikyu, one of Japanese gardens in Tokyo, will open from 8 a.m. or an hour earlier than usual between July 14th 2012 and August 19th 2012.
The garden is 7 minutes walk away from Tsukiji-shijyo station (Toei oedo line).
If you have any plan to visit Tsukiji fish market early in the morning in the period, how about visiting Hamarikyu?

Time to announce our May Welsh Cakes at Sakura Cafe Hatagaya!
We even prepared two new flavors this month...
This is Sariko eating (and obviously loving) the new Cinnamon Welsh Cakes.
Look at her surprised face! She said she couldn't believe how delicious they were. ^^
But we also tried something different this month. What do you think is the second new flavor? It's really hard to tell by the color. They almost look like the plain ones, maybe a shade darker.
But they taste very different.
The other ingredient is a spice as well...
It's Chili!!
Very experimental, but we like to try different things, so we thought why not?
Why don't you try and see how you like them? ;)
How many flowers do you know??
I'll inform you this convenient apprication to search about flowers.
It is, 'Hanashirabe 花しらべ'.
http://hanazukan.hanashirabe.com/
This apprication is very useful to find out the name, and much information of the flowers.
Just taking photos with your iphone, or iPad, and search with 'Hanashirabe', you will easily find out what the flower is!
(Hanashirabe has 1700 kinds of flowers for searching)
Today, it was sunny day in Tokyo.
During I went to Sakura Cafe Hatagaya, took these flowers with my iPhone, even if I might know these flowers are!
How about to search these flowers' name with this excellent apprication??
Have a good weekend!!

My friends from Italy whose hobby are Cosplay
They visited Japan many times,but they didn't have SUICA!
*What is Suica? The Suica is a prepaid e-money card for moving around and shopping in the Tokyo area. There is no more need to buy a ticket from a vending machine. Just touch your Suica to the ticket gate and the fare is automatically deducted from your Suica. The Suica can be used not only for JR East trains, but the subways and buses as well. For shopping, use your Suica card in the place of cash wherever the Suica mark is displayed.
We made it together
There is English Pages
There is a 'Japanese toy booth' in front of Sakura Cafe entrance, you know?
