An Ordinary Summer Scene
Just posting some photos I took recently. Fireworks shot Turns out it’s hard to get a decent shot without a tripod. This year, too, laziness won out and I just let it slide. I stopped by the driving lic…

The Izu Peninsula is surrounded by sea on three sides and isn’t far from Tokyo, so it has plenty of beaches. While I was wondering which one to go to, the landlady at our hot-spring inn recommended Shira…
Not many people know this, but on the 4th floor of the Gucci store in Ginza there’s a café and a chocolate shop. The café isn’t all that pricey (coffee is about 600 yen) and the atmosphere is lovel…

I think Kamakura might be the best of the nearby sightseeing spots you can reach by train from Tokyo. From Shinjuku, the Shonan-Shinjuku Line gets you there in under an hour. Hakone and Nikko, by comparison, a…
Right behind the house where I live is a Chongryon-affiliated middle and high school called Tokyo Korean Junior and Senior High School. I see the students every morning on my way to work, but I’d never a…
