The "ART" of manholes......

by cheesecake17

In Japan almost everything takes on a certain artistic quality, and manhole covers are no exception. The artwork on Japanese manhole covers varies from city-to-city. Some covers display images representative of a city's unique culture, while others display icons that are representative of the function of the hole they are covering, like those for the fire department....Japanese manhole covers are so interesting,so next time you find yourself wandering the streets looking for something artistic, make sure you take a moment to look down ...... the link below is for MANHOLE tours...but only in japanese....

Kawagoe - Old Edo (Tokyo)

by Ewingjr98

Kawagoe is a city of nearly 350,000 citizens in Saitama Prefecture, just an hour outside of Tokyo by train. The town is most famous as Koedo, or Little Edo, due to its resemblance to Tokyo in the Edo Period from 1603 to 1868.The most famous area of town is Kurazukuri Street, which is line with shops in old Showa-era warehouses. Confectionery Row, or Penny Candy Lane, is a favorite of children due to its 12 or 15 old-style candy stores selling traditional and modern candies and toys. The Bell of Time, originally completed in 1644 and rebuilt in 1894, is the city's symbol. Kawagoe Castle dates back to the 1400s, but was largely dismantled in the 1870s.The best part of Kawagoe? Without a doubt, my favorite thing in Kawagoe is Coedo beer. It is relatively cheap in town (300-400 Yen for a can or bottle), and it is delicious.

Tokyo - Land of the Rising Prices

by Ewingjr98

Tokyo is the capital of Japan and, with 35 million people, the largest metropolitan area in the world. Japan is home to 68 Fortune 500 companies, with 47 located in Tokyo, the most of any city in the world (in comparison, New York City has only 18 Fortune 500 companies and Seoul has just 12). Tokyo has something for everyone: busy shopping areas, famous nightlife, historical sights, quiet parks, and amazing scenery. Most visitors will find plenty to keep them busy, if they can find their way around the complex web of neighborhoods that make up Tokyo.Below are capsules of Tokyo's major neighborhoods to help plan a visit to the fun and exciting city of Tokyo.Central Tokyo - There is no "downtown" in Tokyo, but the core of the city includes Chiyoda & Chuo (meaning center).

Day trip to Otaru - from Sapporo

by sheherezad

Otaru is the most 'Westernized! part of Hokkaido, building wise, with a canal parallel to its water front. It famed for its sea food and glass work but there are other quaint attractions, too, like the clock museum/shop. It is a very interesting place to visit and I would certainly go back to Otaru if I were to go to Sapporo, again: great place! Very picturesque, too!Btw you don't need to take one of those tours promoted for Otaru. I did it as a day trip by train from Sapporo station and got a map from the information office at Otaru station (which advised me I can do it myself) and walked down to the canal and walked about Otaru before taking a regular bus back to the station.

Kochi

by IreneMcKay

Kochi is a small town on Shikoku - the smallest of Japan's four islands. The train journey to Kochi from Okayama was spectacular as you travel through a stunning gorge with fantastic scenery. Kochi has a little bridge called Lover's Bridge with a little monument to two ill-fated lovers who died rather than give up their love. It also has a very pretty castle. We arrived at the castle after closing time, but were pleased to find we could still wander around the castle grounds. The grounds were very pleasant with several statues and lots of colourful flowering shrubs. There is a moat around the bottom of the castle. ApparentlY Kochi Castle is the only Japanese Castle where you can easily take a picture with the castle and its main gate in the same shot. When you climb up to the castle itself, you'll be rewarded with good views over Kochi. Dusk was falling as we left the grounds and the...

Kobe

by IreneMcKay

Kobe may not be the most fascinating city in Japan, but it has enough to merit a visit and it is a good base for exploring the area. We've stayed in Kobe twice - both times living in the Holiday Inn Hotel which is near Shin Kobe Station. Both visits we have had a Japan rail pass and found Kobe an excellent location from which to enjoy a variety of day trips.Kobe itself has a cable car- in Japan they are called ropeways which will take you up the mountain behind the Shin Kobe station. There are good views; there is quite a nice herb garden and a little statue donated by the people of El Salvador in sympathy for earthquake victims the world over.Kobe is famous for having experienced a devastating earthquake in 1995 in which around 6,000 people died and Kobe was left in ruins. There is park by the seaside in Kobe near the Port Tower and Maratime Museum where some of the earthquake damage...

Old Ladies' Harajuku

by IreneMcKay

For an unusual trip in Tokyo, take the train to Sugamo Station and go to Jizo dori. This street is known as Harajuku for old ladies. While Harajuku is a trendy young people's shopping area with all the latest in fashion, Jizo dori sells everything the elderly could ever want, including shop after shop of rather large bright red thermal underwear. Red is thought to have heat inducing properties.There is also an interesting temple in this area - Kogan-ji Temple. the temple has a statue outside it. Legend states that if you are afflicted with pain on part of your body and wash the corresponding part of the statue,s body the pain will disappear. You'll see a long line of people next to the statue waiting to do just this.Keep wandering down Jizo dori and you will eventually come to one of the stations on the Toden Arkawa Line - Tokyo's last remaining tramway. We took a ride to the last stop...
