Lunch @ Jiyugaoka

I went out for Saturday lunch in Jiyugaoka which is one of fancy places in Tokyo.










My friend is so resourceful when it comes to eating so I just follow her whenever we meet up.

We went to Lobros for lunch and I had a french toast with blue berry & cream cheese plate.












By the way , the note which placed out side of the door was a little funny, so I took that picture, as well.
'No buggies more than three.'










We saw many small kids with their mothers in this restaurant.
It's a little different scene from the central Tokyo such as Omotesando or Yurakucho.
This is more residential district but for a very rich family!

Then we were heading to a cake shop named 'Mont St Clair' which is often seen in TV, according to my friend, and we bought some peace of cakes. We couldn't get seats there because of a white day.

It is an event relates Valentin's day in Japan.

Women give chocolates to men on Valentin's day and men give something back to women one month later which called 'White day'.



Cake shops are very busy in February and March.

My choices are Mont St Clair & Caramel Poire. Looks good, aren't they?










We gave up sitting there and went back to the Station and had a coffee at 'San Francisco Cable Car Coffee'.

It's a casual style coffee shop that you can visit by yourself.


We talked about work, people, fortune-telling and some philosophies.

It's a sunny & peaceful day :)

I was wondering about the chocolate

I like your way of doing it. Here it might be more like you are forced to give something more than maybe you want to.

Do most women when they like a man do it anonymously or how does that go?

It's more like flirting that our Valentines Day. More fun your way.

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Blackout Threatened

It's very cold day. The consumption of electricity has been increasing due to heating. There's rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages caused from Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order. Plan was not informed in advance, which gave people confusion. During blackout, traffic light is out of service, there was a fatal traffic accident due to that. My friend took a photo of drinking scene under candlelight At the office, there was an emergency company broadcast at 4:30 pm today. They said 'There might be unpredictable huge blackouts tonight due to lack of supply of electricity according to METI. There will be chance of confusion of transportation therefore go home immediately'. Trains in Tokyo running every few minutes so accurately, and if there's any unusual things such as blackout, it will be a serious con...

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
