Er... well... not many choices, I admit it. We used to go to the Kamayan bar for a couple of drinks once in a while.
It was a nice bar... and the only one near the university. But we took the party with us!

By train, 1 hour from Nagoya (Y980), 2 1/2 hs from Osaka (Y1640), 3 hs from Kyoto (Y1860). Nearest airport is in Nagoya.
Tsu is stretched along the 23rd prefectural road and the Kintetsu railway, by the seashore. Seven stations of this line are inside the city, and a few others of the JR (Japan Railways) as well. As everywhere in Japan there's a good public bus service, but the best way to get around is by bicycle.

May 5th is 'Children's Day' in Japan; on this day Japanese families celebrate Tango-no-Sekku, the Boys' Festival. From the latter half of April to early May, one sees nearly everywhere huge, gay-colored Koi-Nobori, carp-like streamers made of paper or cloth, which fill with wind and seem to swim in the air. Together with long red and white ribbons, the carp are hoisted on a bamboo pole, mounted by a pair of gilded pinwheels, high above the rooftops. A carp is flown for each son in the family, a very large one for the eldest, the others ranging down in size.
This picture was taken in Gokoku-jinja shrine, near Tsu station.

Ishinden is the oldest neighborhood in Tsu, and its narrow passages and canals make a very pleasant bicycle ride.
