Overseas Reactions to ALFA-X The test car “Shinkansen ALFA-X” which runs at a top speed of 360 km/h is gaining a lot of attention from overseas. There are various reactions to the fastest train ever made. People sharing that they are envious and would like one to be created in their country and so on, is not uncommon. The distinctive design of ALFA-X is also popular. Summary of ALFA-X Source :YouTube screenshot The video “Let’s go and see ALFA-X!

Cape Erimo" in Erimo-cho, Horosen-gun, Hokkaido, Japan This video, titled "Cape Erimo, a Spectacular View of Hokkaido|Short Version|DRONE×HOKKAIDO" (北海道の絶景・襟裳岬ショートバージョン DRONE×HOKKAIDO), was uploaded by "Shinji kawamura." The video features drone footage of Cape Erimo in Hokkaido, Japan. Be sure to check it out to see some of the amazing views that Cape Erimo has to offer! Amazing Views on Cape Erimo Photo:Hatsuhinode on Cape Erimo Many Japanese people have this idea that there's nothing to do on Cape Erimo. But, let's start with some basic information about Cape Erimo. Cape Erimo is located at the southernmost tip of the Hidaka Mountains, known as the backbone of Hokkaido, jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. A scenic tourist destination, Cape Erimo is located in Erimo, in Hokkaido's Horoizumi District. It is also known for its strong winds and the large amount of sea fog that occurs from May to August. The cape is approximately 60 meters tall, and from the tip of the cape, a reef continues for approximately 2 km, offering a magnificent view of nature's beauty. The spectacular view was designated as a national cultural asset, in August 2010, with the name "Meisho Pirikanoka" (meaning "beautiful shape" in the language of the Ainu)." Furthermore, Cape Erimo is also known as a spot for the Japanese tradition "Hatsuhinode" (the first sunrise of the year), and many tourists come to see the majestic sight. Cape Erimo is not a place with nothing, but rather, a popular spot where you can take Instagrammable photos. Cape Erimo - Now a Popular Tourist Spot! Photo:Cape Erimo, Hokkaido In Japan, there's a song called "Cape Erimo" that was sung by Chiyoko Shimakura. Later, in 1974, "Cape Erimo" composed by Takuro Yoshida and sung by Shinichi Mori became a big hit. The phrase in the lyrics, "Erimo no Haru wa nani mo nai Haru desu" (Spring in Erimo is a spring of nothing), left a lasting impression on people. This single phrase of the hit song made it famous as a place offering nothing. However, Cape Erimo is actually a place with loads of natural beauty, as mentioned above. It is now one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Hokkaido, and has become such a famous tourist attraction that people no longer say that Cape Erimo has nothing to offer. Popular Tourist Attractions on Cape Erimo! Photo:Cape Erimo, Hokkaido Let's take a look at the sightseeing spots in Cape Erimo, which has now become famous as one of Hokkaido's most scenic and beautiful sightseeing spots. Cape Erimo is famous for its strong winds, and "Kaze no Yakata," a facility where visitors can experience those winds, opened in 1997. Visitors can experience wind speeds as high as 25 meters per second. As we mentioned previously, Cape Erimo is known for its beautiful sunrises, and the panoramic view of the sunrise from the cape is truly something to marvel at! On New Year's Day, the observatory and observation decks are filled with tourists who come to see the first sunrise of the year. Furthermore, Cape Erimo is also a habitat for wild seals, so you can even try seal watching with binoculars. If you want to see them up close, we recommend joining a seal-watching tour by kayak. Seals give birth in the spring, and if you're lucky, you might be able to spot a mother and her pups. There is also a theater showing videos taken by nature photographer Eiichi Kurasawa, where visitors can learn about the ecology of the harbor seals seen at Cape Erimo. A monument of "Cape Erimo," the song that made Cape Erimo famous, stands side by side with the other monument to the song with same name. This sight of two monuments, for the song of the same name, side by side, is not often seen in other places. Dining Recommendations on Cape Erimo Photo:Whelk sashimi When it comes to dining on Cape Erimo, the fresh seafood is a must. You can enjoy seasonal seafood, such as whelks grown in the rough seas of Cape Erimo. The sushi is also highly recommended. Ginzushi (銀寿し) and Isami Sushi (いさみ寿し) are famous sushi restaurants in the area. Cape Erimo also has a hotel called Erimo Kankokan (えりも観光館) not far from the observatory. It's recommended for those looking to watch the sunrise from the sea in the morning. Summary of Cape Erimo, Hokkaido Did you enjoy this video showing aerial footage of Cape Erimo, a place of natural beauty? The image of Cape Erimo as a place with nothing to offer was generated by the lyrics of a hit song, and it turns out that it is actually a scenic sightseeing spot created by a harsh natural environment. Consider visiting Cape Erimo, a place where you can feel nature on a grand scale! 【Official Website】Cape Erimo https://www.town.erimo.lg.jp/kankou/pages/k9mfea0000000bnv.html 【TripAdvisor】Cape Erimo https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1065243-d1372677-Reviews-Cape_Erimo-Erimo_cho_Horoizumi_gun_Hokkaido.html -

Rare Footage of Tokyo From More Than 100 Years Ago! This video, titled "Footage of Tokyo From More Than 100 Years Ago (With Sound)" (東京の昔の映像 (音声あり)), was uploaded by "Final A." Have you ever wondered what life was like in Tokyo more than 100 years ago? Perhaps you've seen pictures in textbooks or studied it at school, but probably very few people have seen actual footage of what life was like back then. In this video, you can get a glimpse of what life was like in Tokyo around 1913-1915. The Lives of Tokyoites More Than 100 Years Ago Source :YouTube screenshot From 0:04 in the video, you can see many people walking around dressed in hakama (袴). You can also see children playing with a ball called a "mari" (毬) from 2:59. At the time, it was common for children to spend their days playing with traditional toys such as a mari (temari). As you can tell from the video, at the time, the majority of people were dressed in what would be considered traditional Japanese style clothing today. The streets were lit using fixed paper lanterns called "andon" (行灯). The population of Tokyo at the time was approximately 3 million. The population of the whole of Japan was approximately 50 million, less than half of what it is today. From 2:42 in the video, you can see how the area around Senso-ji temple (浅草寺) in Asakusa (浅草), Tokyo was just as busy then as it is nowadays. Tokyo From 1913-1915 Source :YouTube screenshot The Taisho period lasted only 15 years (1912-1926) but is well known because of the Great Kanto Earthquake (関東大震災). Many other important events also took place during the same time period. The most famous of those being World War I which started in 1913. In 1914, the first department store "Mitsukoshi Gofukuten" (三越呉服店) (currently known as Nihombashi Mitsukoshi Main Store) opened in Japan, and the familiar lion statue, as well as escalators and elevators quickly became the talk of the town. At the time, the toy industry and product development were flourishing and it was the beginning of modernization in Japan. Tokyo Station (東京駅) was also opened in 1914. The station must have been very crowded at the time due to the large number of passengers travelling to and from the station. More About the History of Tokyo Source :YouTube screenshot In 1886, Tokyo prefecture (currently known in Japanese as Tokyo-to (東京都) was given the name Tokyo-fu (東京府). From the beginning of the Taisho period, there was a dramatic increase in the population of Tokyo. During the Meiji period (明治時代, meijijidai), the Tokyo area changed a great deal as Japan changed from being a country of agriculture to a country focused on industry. In the video, you can see that the most common mode of transportation was the rickshaw, however, the rickshaw was gradually replaced with bicycles and cars. At the time, there were many water wells in Tokyo and the water quality was also very good. Summary of Tokyo From 100 Years Ago Even if you aren't Japanese it's easy to feel a sense of nostalgia from this video. This rare footage offers a glimpse at what life was like over 100 years ago in Japan. It's invaluable footage that really allows us to see how far Japan and the rest of the world has come in such a short time. -

20 Camping Manners for Beginner Campers in Japan! Learn Proper Manners to Enjoy the Outdoors and Nature!
Things to Do- 59 plays
- YouTube
Japan's Camping Manners Camping is a leisure activity that allows people of all ages to enjoy a priceless time in nature. Japan is currently experiencing a camping boom. However, the sad reality is that some campgrounds have closed down due to lack of good manners, such as campers not picking up their trash. In this article, we'll go over Japanese camping manners to be careful of. Camping Manners Video Introduction This video, titled "20 Camping Manners for Beginners and New Campers Alike! [How to Get Started Camping: Camping Manners]" (キャンプ初心者さん、これからキャンプを始める方に伝えたいキャンプマナー20選 嫌だ!〜こんなキャンパー〜【キャンプのはじめかた:キャンプマナー編】), was uploaded by "Camp Lab" (キャンプ研究所). The video introduces useful camping etiquette, and is recommended for those who are just starting to enjoy outdoor activities, such as camping, as well as experienced campers. 20 Camping Manners to Know When Camping in Japan Photo:Camping manners Although manners vary from country to country and campground to campground many of these are useful no matter where you're camping. There's no one better to learn from than an advanced camper who's been doing it for years, someone who has experienced bad camping manners themself. Let's take a look at these 20 camping manners to keep in mind when camping in Japan! 1. Choose a Campsite After Checking In It's bad camping etiquette to have your friend or other campers that you came with hold a site for you while you check in. It's standard etiquette that you should only choose a campsite after you finish checking in to the campground. [Video] 1:16 - Choosing a Campsite 2. Set Your Tent Up Away From Other Campers Photo:A campground Setting up a tent right next to an already pitched tent is bad manners, especially when the site is large and there are many other places to set up a tent. Moreover, setting up a tent in such a place may spoil the scenery for other campers. When choosing a place to set up your tent, you need to consider the scenery of the tents that are already set up, as to not obstruct their view. [Video] 1:36 - Setting Up Your Tent 3. Avoid Cutting Through Other Campsites Care should also be taken to avoid entering other plots. While it's OK if you just cut a corner through a campsite, you should avoid doing it too frequently and avoid crossing through the middle of a campsite to avoid disturbing other campers. [Video] 1:56 - Other Campers' Plots 4. Avoid Taking Up Too Much Space It's also a violation of camping etiquette to take up too much space in a free site. This is a common sight at group campsites, where group tents are set up so far apart that other campers cannot easily fit in between them and will have to find other places to pitch their tents. On busy days, it can be difficult to find a place to pitch your tent. When setting up your tent, please be sure to take into consideration the crowded conditions, and make sure that the distance between tents is the same as other campers. [Video] 2:19 - Avoid Taking Up Too Much Space 5. Avoid Late Night Setups and Early Morning Takedowns Photo:A campground at morning Any activity that interferes with other campers' peaceful sleep late at night or early in the morning is also taboo. Driving stakes into the ground while others are sleeping can be disturbing. Even if you unintentionally arrive at the campground late at night, consider the time before loudly setting up. [Video] 2:56 - Late Night Setups/Early Morning Takedowns 6. Don't Leave Children Unattended Do not leave small children unattended. Campsites can be dangerous places, and they could get into some serious trouble. You wouldn't want to see them get seriously injured or badly burned by a campfire or other fire because you lost sight of them. [Video] 3:28 - Camping With Children 7. Be Careful When Playing With Flying Objects, Such as Balls, Frisbees, Drones, Etc. Photo:A drone Playing with flying objects is another thing to be careful of. When playing with balls, frisbees, drones, etc., you should always be careful to make sure that no one is around. Be sure to play in designated areas. You wouldn't like it if someone else's frisbee kept flying into your campsite, right? [Video] 4:16 - Flying Toys 8. Avoid Trouble With Your Kids At campsites, in order to avoid trouble, parents may need to find a place for their children to play in advance, or if the campsite does not have an open space, you might need to take measures to avoid your children from being scolded, such as not bringing play equipment that is unsuitable for that location (i.e., flying toys in small areas). [Video] 5:13 - Be Aware of Your Children 9. Avoid Causing Noise Pollution Noise is a common cause of trouble, as loud noises can be annoying. Adjust the volume when enjoying music or movies, and be considerate of the time of day. Remember that the campground is a public place. [Video] 5:40 - Noise Pollution 10. Be Careful When Consuming Alcohol Photo:Enjoying drinks while camping The video also touches on drinking manners. Don't mistake the campground for a bar/izakaya and overdo it. It's important to be aware of the time of day, and to be aware that you may disturb other campers while they're sleeping. Video] 6:35 - Manners for Consuming Alcohol 11. Keep the Cooking Area Clean It's bad camping manners to make a mess in the cooking area. Leaving food scraps and other debris in the cooking area drains is disrespectful to other campers. When washing cooking utensils, bring detergent, sponges, and plastic bags. [Video] 7:22 - Keeping the Cooking Area Clean 12. Be Careful of Sparks From Campfires Photo:A campfire When enjoying a campfire, be careful of sparks. Sparks can fly not only on your tent, but also to neighboring campers' tents and other gear. Sparks may scorch your tent or other items, so please be careful. [Video] 8:07 - Campfire Sparks 13. Open Flame Cooking Is Not Allowed at All Campgrounds Don't perform open flame cooking in an area where open flame cooking is prohibited. It's a violation of both manners and rules. It may even lead to a wildfire in some places. [Video] 9:07 - Check if Open Flame Cooking Is Allowed 14. Don't Burn Garbage in Campfires Burning garbage in a campfire is another violation of camping manners. Burning trash creates unwanted smoke and odors. [Video] 9:44 - Don't Burn Garbage in Campfires 15. Be Respectful Even When Staying in a Car Photo:Sleeping in a car Be careful not to leave the engine running overnight when staying in a car. The noise can disturb other campers. Overnight stays in a car should be done in a parking lot. [Video] 10:18 - Manners for Overnight Stays in a Car 16. Manners Regarding Pets The video touches on manners regarding pets as well. It's bad manners to release pets without a leash. Pets can bite other campers and cause major problems. [Video] 11:04 - Pet Manners 17. Be Aware of Your Surroundings When Setting off Fireworks Do not disturb others with fireworks. Sparks may fly and scorch tents and other objects. [Video] 11:56 - Fireworks Manners 18. Separate Garbage Properly Photo:Camping manners In Japan trash is separated by type. Be sure to properly separate trash, even at campsites. [Video] 12:26 - Separating Trash 19. Leave Your Campsite Cleaner Than It Was When You Got There It's also bad manners to leave your campsite messy when you're finished camping. Make sure you don't leave behind any garbage or charcoal. Try to leave your campsite cleaner than it was when you arrived. [Video] 12:48 - Clean Your Campsite 20. Everyone Has Their Own Way of Enjoying Camping Everyone enjoys camping in their own way. It's also bad manners to impose your own values on other people. [Video] 13:12 - Camping Is Different for Everyone Enjoy Camping in Japan With Proper Manners! When camping, it's important to have good manners as well as to follow the rules of the campground. It's also important to gather information about prohibited items and equipment at the campground in advance. Trouble can be caused by violations of manners regarding garbage disposal, illegal dumping, noise in common spaces, and many other factors. When camping in Japan, it's important to respect nature, have good manners, keep other campers in mind to avoid any problems. -

The Diamond Route Connecting Fukushima, Tochigi and Ibaraki Prefectures This video, titled "【4K】Nature & Gastronomy : Diamond Route Japan 2019 - Fukushima, Tochigi, Ibaraki |" was released by Diamond Route Japan. Nobu Matsuhisa runs many Japanese restaurants around the world. In this video, Nobu Matsuhisa travels to Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki prefectures to review tourist attractions that are rich with local history and Japanese culture. Popular Tourist Destinations in Fukushima Prefecture Two of the best places to visit in Fukushima Prefecture are Ouchi-juku in the Minamiaizu District of Fukushima Prefecture and Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle (Tsurugajo) in Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture. These two sites, both of which preserve the landscape of Japan's Edo period, attract more than a million history buffs each year. In Ouchi-juku, there are restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy the delicious local cuisine. Ouchijuku's specialty, "Takato Soba," is a unique dish in which "magari-negi" (a type of curved green onion) are used like chopsticks to eat handmade soba noodles. Kitakata ramen is another local specialty of Fukushima Prefecture. Kitakata ramen is a local dish that is loved all over Japan and is one of the three major ramen of Japan. Kitakata Ramen is a shoyu (soy sauce) flavored pork-based ramen that originated in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture, and is characterized by its light flavor. Popular Sightseeing Spots in Tochigi Prefecture The most famous tourist attraction in Tochigi Prefecture is the World Heritage Site "Nikko Toshogu Shrine." Nikko Toshogu Shrine located in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a shrine and temple dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The shrine is steeped in history and is said to have been built in 1617. It's a famous place where visitors can enjoy historical Japanese traditions and culture. Utsunomiya gyoza is the specialty of Tochigi Prefecture. Utsunomiya City in Tochigi Prefecture is one of the largest consumers of gyoza (pot stickers) in Japan, and almost all gourmets visiting Utsunomiya City come in search of "Utsunomiya Gyoza." Utsunomiya gyoza is characterized by its high vegetable and low meat and garlic content, which gives the gyoza a better texture and richer flavor. As a result, even those who don't like the rich taste of gyoza and generally find it too heavy, can enjoy eating it. Utsunomiya gyoza is generally sold at a low price throughout Utsunomiya City, and it's often eaten like fast food in the local area. Popular Tourist Attractions in Ibaraki Prefecture Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of Japan's premier leisure facilities for raising plants. The 500 sq. acre park is home to seasonal plants, such as tulips in the spring and sunflowers in the summer, as well as attractions like a large Ferris wheel, making it a fun facility for the whole family! Ibaraki Prefecture is home to many nationally famous local dishes, the most popular of which is natto (fermented soybeans). Mito Natto, a specialty of Mito City, Ibaraki, is a historical dish loved by the locals. Foreign tourists may have some reservations about it, but we definitely recommend trying it if you're visiting Mito, Ibaraki. Summary of the Diamond Route Connecting Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki Prefectures Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki prefectures are close to Tokyo, making them great places to visit even on a day trip. They are especially popular with tourists looking to experience Japanese history and culture. Be sure to check them out if you have the chance! -

Camping in Japan - How to Clean Up After a Campfire! Key Points for Campfire Cooking in Japan!
Things to Do- 80 plays

Only You Can Prevent Wildfires Japan is currently experiencing an outdoor boom. As an island nation surrounded by the sea, Japan is also blessed with abundant nature. Because of this, it's possible to travel from the heart of Tokyo to a campground surrounded by nature in just a couple hours, and new styles of camping, such as solo camping, are on the rise. Camping is a lot of fun, but it's important to remember to clean up after your campfire to prevent wildfires and other accidents. In this article, we'll take a look at how to clean up a campfire. Video Introduction: Cleaning Up After a Campfire Photo:A campfire This video, titled "How to Clean Up After a Campfire at a Campground" (キャンプ場での焚き火の後片付け方), was uploaded by "Hiro, Camping" (ヒロ、焚き火). Campfires are used for a variety of purposes, including cooking and warmth. Some people simply like relaxing and getting lost in the flames of a campfire. That being said, cleaning up after a campfire is a necessary part of a safe and enjoyable camping trip in Japan. If you fail to clean up after a campfire, it can cause wildfires and other problems for many people. It's important to extinguish fires properly to protect our rich natural environment. Some Campgrounds Allow Open Flame Cooking, Others Don't Some campgrounds allow campfire cooking, while others do not. Be sure to check if the campground you're using allows open flame cooking. If open flame cooking is not allowed, you'll need your own campfire pit, fire sheet, etc. How to Clean Up Charcoal and Ashes After a Campfire Source :YouTube screenshot First, any coals and wood should be burnt down as much as possible. The extinguished coals and ashes can then be placed on a 60-micron aluminum foil. After that, clean up the surrounding area, picking up anything that has dropped under the fire pit. Restore the area to its original state as best as possible. [Video] 0:08 - Picking Up Ashes Water can then be poured over the collected charcoal and ashes. From there, you can wrap the remains in the aluminum foil compactly, removing as much air as possible. Then, wrap that in another sheet of foil and finally, place it in a plastic bag. If ashes from your campfire are scattered nearby, be sure to pick them up as well. Leaving ashes behind is a known cause of environmental pollution. The ashes, as well as the remaining charcoal will not decompose and be replaced by soil, so please do not bury them in the ground. After gathering the remaining ashes, pour water over them. Check the temperature of the ground around you just to be sure as well. Reducing the risk of fire as much as possible will not only protect you, but also other campers and the environment. Dispose of garbage from any meals you made while camping, as well as ashes and charcoal from campfires, in areas designated by the campground. Camp Fire Cleanup Summary Photo:Campfire remains When building a campfire at camp, clean up after the fire properly. Don't leave any ashes or coals behind with the mistaken belief that they will decompose. Failure to ensure that you clean up after a campfire could lead to a wildfire or other major problems. Keep in mind that even the slightest amount of carelessness can lead to a major accident. Everyone has their own way of enjoying camping and other outdoor activities, but remember that you're in a public place and should observe rules and manners. If you go to a campground that prohibits open flame cooking, don't forget to prepare a fire pit and other outdoor equipment. Please make sure to keep the cleanup of bonfires in mind with the video introduced here, and by all means, enjoy the rich nature of Japan while camping! -

How to Comfortably Sleep in a Sleeping Bag! Mats, Cots, and Other Useful Camping Gear!

Sleeping Comfortably When Camping Japan is in the midst of a camping boom, but one of the most common mistakes made by beginner campers is that they lose sleep because they can't control the temperature of their sleeping environment and end up being colder than they thought they would be. In this video an advanced camper explains the key points for getting a good night's sleep when camping. Video Introduction: Choosing a Sleeping Bag and Mat for a Good Night's Sleep When Camping Photo:A man buying a sleeping bag This video, titled "Getting Started Camping - Recommended Sleeping Bags and Mats for Beginners|Girl's Camping, Solo Camping, and Family Camping" (キャンプの始め方 初心者さんにおすすめの寝袋・マットは? 寝袋・マットの選び方編 編 女子キャンプ、ソロキャンプ、ファミリーキャンプの始め方 キャンプ初心者さん向け), was uploaded by "Camp Lab" (キャンプ研究所). Have you ever gone camping and had trouble sleeping because it was colder than you thought it would be? In this article, we'll cover how to choose a sleeping bag and mat, as well as items that will help you get a good night's sleep when camping. Japan has four distinct seasons with each season requiring different temperature adjustments when camping. If you're planning on going camping in the future or are having trouble sleeping when camping, be sure to keep reading! Regular Sleeping Bags vs. Mummy Sleeping Bags Photo:A sleeping bag There are two main types of sleeping bags, rectangular sleeping bags and mummy sleeping bags. Let's take a look at how these sleeping bags differ. Rectangular sleeping bags are characterized by their spacious interior. Another key point is that they can be connected to sleeping bags of the same maker and model. This type of sleeping bag is recommended for families sleeping with small children. For those seeking a more spacious feel, rectangular sleeping bags are great, but measures should be taken to preventthe sleeping bag from getting cold due to their spaciousness. [Video] 0:44 - Rectangular Sleeping Bags Compared to rectangular sleeping bags, mummy sleeping bags are snugger to the body. Although they may feel narrower than rectangular sleeping bags, the advantage is that they are warmer as there's less space between the body and the bag. [Video] 1:16 - Mummy Sleeping Bags Sleeping Bag Material – Down or Synthetic? Photo:Down Sleeping bags differ in comfort and characteristics depending on the material they are made of. The two main materials used in sleeping bags are down and synthetic fibers (such as polyester). Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each. ・Down Sleeping Bags The pros of down sleeping bags is that they are lightweight and can be stored compactly. One of the main cons of down sleeping bags however, is that they are often expensive. [Video] 1:45 - Pros and cons of sleeping bags - Materials ・Synthetic sleeping bags are generally more affordable than sleeping bags made of down. On the other hand, they are bulky and not easily stored. Each sleeping bag has a comfort temperature labeled on it. Many people incorrectly interpret this comfort temperature though, so please be careful. For example, if a sleeping bag states "comfort temperature 10°C," it means that you can sleep comfortably if you wear clothes that can withstand a temperature of 10°C. Be careful not to catch a cold by mistakenly getting into a sleeping bag with light clothing. When selecting a sleeping bag, it's important to check the comfort temperature, as it varies according to the amount of cotton used. [Video] 2:19 - Sleeping Bag Comfort Temperatures Using a Mat for Sleeping When Camping If you sleep only in a sleeping bag without a mat, you may absorb the geothermal energy from the ground and become hotter or colder, which can cause you to wake up in the middle of the night. Therefore, it's important to prepare a mat for your sleeping area to avoid being affected by the geothermal energy. [Video] 3:18 - Camping Mats Staying Warm When Camping: Air Mattresses, Inflatable Mats, and Closed-Cell Camping Mats Photo:A man blowing up a camping mat There are three main types of mats for avoiding the effects of geothermal energy. Let's take a look at the characteristics of each. ・Air Mattresses Air mattresses are cushioned and comfortable to sleep on because of the air inside. However, it should be noted that over time, the air in the mat is affected by geothermal energy which is then transferred to the body. When using an air mattress, use a hot carpet or cool mattress to manage the temperature over time. [Video] 4:06 - Air Mattresses Keep in mind that air mattresses can also be punctured. They may even puncture when being inflating or worse, when sleeping. Take this into consideration when deciding whether or not to purchase an air mattress. [Video] 5:15 - Points to keep in mind about air mattresses The biggest advantage of inflatable mats is that they are made of urethane and are very comfortable to sleep on. However, like air mats, there is a possibility that they are punctured, and they are also susceptible to geothermal energy. The time and effort required to inflate and deflate the may can also be considered a disadvantage. [Video] 5:41 - Inflatable Mats ・Closed Cell Camping Pads Closed cell camping pads are easier to set up than air mattresses or inflatable mats. If you're looking to save time when setting up and taking down your tent, consider looking into closed cell pads. There are also types with excellent insulation properties and types that can be used on snow. However, they are generally not as comfortable as air mattresses and other types of mats, so be sure to consider this when purchasing a camping mat. [Video] 6:32 - Closed Cell Camping Pads Useful Camping Gear to Help You Sleep Better - Cots, Sleeping Bag Liners, Hot Water Bottles, Fans, and More! Photo:A cot The video introduces several items that can help you get a good night's sleep when camping. Combine them with sleeping bags and mats to achieve a comfortable sleeping environment. ・Cots Cots are essentially foldable beds. Cots are separated from the ground so they are less susceptible to the effects of geothermal energy. [Video] 7:47 - Characteristics of a Cot ・Sleeping Bag Liner Sleeping bag liners are like sleeping bags made of a single piece of thin fabric. By putting it in a sleeping bag, you can increase your resistance to the cold. If you already have a sleeping bag, it's a good idea to buy an extra sleeping bag liner as a countermeasure against the cold. It is also a great way to save money compared to purchasing a new sleeping bag. [Video] 8:07 - Characteristics of Sleeping Bag Liners ・Hot Water Bottles Hot water bottles are great for warming the lower body. For those who are shorter, the inside of a sleeping bag tends to be colder due to larger air pockets. This is great for people who often get cold feet when sleeping. [Video] 8:37 - Hot Water Bottles for Camping ・Disposable Hand Warmers Disposable hand warmers can be put inside a sleeping bag in cold areas to protect against the cold. This item can be used in place of a hot water bottle. [Video] 9:16 - Disposable Hand Warmers Besides these items, hot carpets and electric blankets can make sleeping even more comfortable during the colder months. Furthermore, wood and oil stoves are also effective at protecting against the cold. We also recommend each camper have their own fan, as it's an essential item to bring camping in the summer to protect against the heat when the hot weather is making it difficult to sleep. Choose a Sleeping Bag and Mat That's Right for You and Enjoy a Good Night's Sleep When Camping! Getting a good night's sleep is crucial to having an enjoyable camping trip. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll have less energy for camping activities the next day and you might be tired when driving home. Prepare sleeping bags and mats according to the season to ensure a comfortable night's sleep! -

Wasabi farmers in Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, speak out! How is it cultivated? Why is it hot? How to eat it? Wasabi information is introduced in this video!

Wasabi Information" Video Introduction by a Wasabi Farmer in Kamo County, Shizuoka Prefecture This video is「WASABI – IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU – 和食(山葵)」created by「ANA Global Channel」. It shows a wasabi farmer from Izu Peninsula (伊豆半島, Izuhanto) in Shizukoka prefecture (静岡県, Shizuoka-ken) speaking about the attraction and production process of wasabi. Wasabi is an edible native Japanese plant of the Brassicaceae Wasabia family and is said to have grown naturally since the Asuka Period (AD ~538-710). In this 9-minute video, Inaba Nobuaki, owner of “Wasabi-en Kadoya,” located in Kawazu town (河津, Kawazu) of Kamo District (賀茂郡, Kamogun), Shizuoka Prefecture, explains the attraction, production process and ways to enjoy wasabi. What Is Wasabi? How Is It Cultivated? Photo:Wasabi Field There are two ways to cultivate wasabi; “Water Wasabi” (Valley Wasabi, Swamp Wasabi) cultivated in mountain streams and spring water, and “Field Wasabi” (Land Wasabi) which is cultivated in fields. The cultivation method introduced in this video is “Water Wasabi” and takes 1-2 years to cultivate. The wasabi is cultivated in flooded paddy fields, which turn to mud after one or two years. The farmers wash away the mud, level the field, and plant and harvest wasabi all year round. Water management is crucial and is a fight against the merciless forces of nature, for often typhoons and other floods strike the region. This is explained by Inaba Nobuaki of “Wasabi-en Kadoya” from 0:26 in the video. Wasabi is cultivated all year round, but the flavor and size vary by season. The best season is from autumn to winter. Wasabi was introduced in the Amagi Region (天城, Amagi), where “Wasabi-en Kadoya” is located, sometime during the mid-Edo Period. Izu Peninsula is suited for wasabi cultivation, due to its heavy rainfall and soft spring water. The reason why wasabi hasn’t spread worldwide is because this type of natural environment doesn’t exist elsewhere, as is explained by Inaba Nobuaki from 2:36. Shizuoka Prefecture is famous for its wasabi cultivation, and is the number one area for cultivation and production in Japan. The Best Ways to Enjoy Wasabi Photo:Wasabi Bowl Now that you know how wasabi is grown, you probably want to know how to best enjoy it! Most people try to enjoy delicious wasabi with expensive foods such as sashimi and sushi. But a simple and low cost way to enjoy wasabi is the “Wasabi Bowl” that “Wasabi-en Kadoya” serves. It is an extremely simple dish; dried bonito sprinkled over some fresh hot rice, with a dash of freshly grated wasabi on top. This can be seen from 4:01 in the video. The soy sauce will deprive the wasabi of its flavor, so it’s important not to pour the soy sauce directly onto the wasabi. Wasabi’s spiciness is created when the cell walls are broken, so the taste varies greatly depending on how finely you grate the wasabi. A delicious wasabi has five traits: great fragrance, spiciness, sweetness, adhesiveness, and a deep green color, as explained at 5:27 in the video. To make use of wasabi’s disinfectant qualities, you can eat vegetables with wasabi or have some wasabi ice cream for dessert. Also, the top and bottom of the wasabi stem have different tastes! The top has a mild flavor that is pleasant. The video explains at 7:50 that the best way to store leftover wasabi is not to put it in a cup of water, but to wrap it in newspaper, put it in a plastic bag, then store it in the refrigerator. If you ever visit Shizuoka, how about some wasabi products as a souvenir? “Wasabi Pickles,” “Wasabeef Chips,” “Wasabi Beads” (which are shaped like salmon roe), “Wasabi Greens,” “Tubed Wasabi,” “Hon-Wasabi,” “Wasabi powder,” and “Wasabi paste” are some of the most popular products. These are sold in Amagi Wasabi Village (天城わさびの里, Amagiwasabinosato), located inside the roadside station “Amagigoe” (天城越え,Amagigoe), Izu Town (伊豆市, Izushi) which is near “Wasabi-en Kadoya,” and also by online retailers such as Amazon or Rakuten. Summary of Wasabi In recent years, wasabi has come to be appreciated for its health benefits, such as weight loss assistance. Hopefully this video has helped you learn about wasabi, the integral seasoning for every Japanese household! This video also introduces the best ways to eat wasabi, so if you are interested in Japanese food or just food in general, be sure to check it out! 【yelp】Wasbi-en Kadoya https://www.yelp.com/biz/%E3%82%8F%E3%81%95%E3%81%B3%E5%9C%92-%E3%81%8B%E3%81%A9%E3%82%84-%E8%B3%80%E8%8C%82%E9%83%A1?page_src=related_bizes -

Coolers, a Necessity for Summer Camping in Japan Summer in Japan is characterized by strong sunlight, high temperatures, and excessive humidity. Compared to spring and fall, which are quite pleasant, it's important to be careful of heat stroke and food poisoning during summer. Therefore, we'd like to introduce a video on coolers, a necessity for enjoying outdoor activities and camping during summer in Japan. Video Comparing Coolers This video, titled "My Recommended Coolers [Comparing 4 Types] (For Camping BBQ Outdoor Use) Coleman, Logos, Daiwa, and AO, Four Popular Brands" (おすすめクーラーボックス【4種比較】(キャンプ BBQ アウトドア用)コールマン・ロゴス・ダイワ・AOクーラー人気ブランドを一挙に紹介します!), was uploaded by "solo camp & camp cooking in Japan TANA channe." What Should You Look for When Buying a Cooler? Material? Cooling Ability? Style? Photo:A cooling bag Outdoor activities, such as BBQ and camping, are very popular in Japan as of late. Many people are in the process of planning outdoor leisure activities for the hot summer ahead. You might be one of them and are even considering buying a cooler. What are the most important things to consider when purchasing a cooler? Size, cooling ability, whether it's hard or soft, design... these are all important factors to think about. You should first decide on what it is that you want your cooler to accomplish. In this article, Tana, a solo camper in Japan, compares the usages, features, and storage capacity of four different coolers for campers having trouble choosing the right cooler. In addition, the cooling ability of three coolers of different sizes, designs, and materials are evaluated based on hourly temperatures and ice retention. This article is especially for those looking for a cooler for camping, festivals, picnics, etc., but aren't sure which one is best. We think this will help you choose the one that's right for you! AO Coolers 12L Canvas Soft Cooler Source :YouTube screenshot The first cooler on the list is the AO Coolers 12L Canvas Soft Cooler. As its name suggests it's a soft cooler. At first glance, the bag is so well designed that it doesn't look like a cooler. The outdoor pattern is quite stylish. The bag, which looks like a bucket, can be made into a square shape by buckling the clips on the sides. In this shape, it is almost as large as the DAIWA Cool Line 800 8L Cooler introduced next. The capacity is 11.35 L, and it can hold 12 350 ml cans plus 2.2 kg of ice. The video shows how different sized bottles fit in the cooler. [Video] 0:26 - Features of the AO Cooler DAIWA Cool Line 800 8L Cooler Source :YouTube screenshot The DAIWA Cool Line 800 8L Cooler comes from a fishing equipment manufacturer. Check it out if you're looking for a compact cooler for solo camping, fishing, or other outdoor leisure activities. It comes with a carrying strap and can be carried over the shoulder. The compartment is large enough to just barely hold a 1.5-liter bottle. It's a great cooler if you're only planning on bringing a few items. [Video] 6:10 - Daiwa Cooler Features LOGOS Hyper Subzero Cooler M 12L Source :YouTube screenshot The LOGOS Hyper Subzero Cooler M 12L is another soft cooler. This cooler has a cool silver design and can hold a 2L plastic bottle horizontally. The long sides are made of a hard material, so it can't be broken down into a smaller size, but it is designed to be thinner. It can be used for a variety of activities, including camping and festivals, making it quite attractive. Because of its stylish appearance, this product is also recommended for those who are particular about the appearance of their camping equipment. [Video] 8:04 - Features of the LOGOS Cooler Coleman Extreme Ice Cooler 25L Source :YouTube screenshot The Coleman Extreme Ice Cooler 25L is the largest cooler shown in the video, but it's a soft cooler and can be folded. It's a bit large for a solo camping cooler. Tana, the solo camper in the video, utilizes it to hold other items as well. The metal fittings on the side are plastic, so you need to be a little careful when carrying heavy items inside it. [Video] 9:06 - Features of the Coleman Cooler Comparing Cooling Ability - AO, Daiwa, and Coleman The cooling ability of coolers is important when camping in the summer. But do size and shape determine a cooler's cooling ability? Check out the video for a comparison of the cooling ability of different coolers from AO, Daiwa, and Coleman. The indoor temperature is 26.6 degrees Celsius, and one bag of ice is put in each cooler to test the temperature and ice retention over time. ・After approx. 1 hour Coleman: 14.5°C, 20% of ice melted AO: 9.4°C, 10% of ice melted Daiwa: 13.6°C, 15% of ice melted At this point, we can say that the ice retention is AO > Daiwa > Coleman. ・After approx. 4 hrs. Coleman: 13.5°C, 40% of ice melted AO: 14.9°C, 20% of ice melted Daiwa: 15.7°C, 30% of ice melted At this point, the ice retention is still the same - AO > Daiwa > Coleman. ・After approx. 6 hours Coleman: 13.5°C, 80% of ice melted AO: 14.1°C, 70% of ice melted Daiwa: 15.4°C, 70% of ice melted At this point, AO and Daiwa are about equal. ・After approx. 8 hours Coleman: 19.3°C, 90% of ice melted AO: 14.2°C, 80% of ice melted Daiwa: 13.9°C, 80% of ice melted After more than 8 hours, the Daiwa cooler maintained the coolest temperatures. [Video] 10:16 - Comparing three different coolers [Video] 17:11 - Results after 4 hours [Video] 22:09 - Results after 8 hours The Coleman is the largest of these coolers, so it's not possible to make a blanket judgment, but as an example, this test may be useful for those considering replacing or buying a new cooler in the future. Tips for Keeping Your Cooler Cool Photo:A cooler Here are some tips for keeping your cooler cool that aren't related to the characteristics of the cooler. ・Make sure that the items to be placed in the cooler are cooled in advance. If possible, cool the inside of the cooler box as well. ・Place refrigerants on the top and bottom of the cooler. ・Use a combination of large and small ice cubes. ・Don't drain the water after the ice has melted. ・Minimize opening and closing of the cooler. ・Avoid hot ground and place in a cool place out of direct sunlight, such as in the shade. Find the Cooler That Works Best for You and Enjoy Your Time Camping! Coolers are useful outdoor equipment for storing food for camping and BBQs and drinks for picnics. In summer, use coolers to prevent heat stroke and food poisoning, but be careful when handling drinks and food. There are many beautiful campgrounds in Japan. To enjoy the summer outdoors to the fullest, choose a cooler that suits your individual style and that will keep your food and other items cold. -

Top 5 Coleman Family Tents! Cost-Effective and Easy-To-Use Tents!
Things to Do- 81 plays

Coleman Tents - Popular Even in Japan Due in part to the corona pandemic, camping is booming in Japan, particularly family camping. For those looking to buy a family tent, check out this list made by an advanced camper that introduces the Coleman tents he recommends. Let's get into it! Introducing Coleman's 5 Best Family Tents via Video This video, titled "Announcing the 5 Best Coleman Family Tents and Why" (発表します。これがコールマン オススメ ファミリーテント ベスト5の理由です。), was uploaded by "Yoshi channel." As the name suggests, it introduces the top five family tents from Coleman, as recommended by a Japanese outdoor specialist. These top 5 tents were determined by comparing functionality, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness. If you're thinking of purchasing a Coleman family tent, be sure to use this as a guide. No. 5 "Coleman Weather Master Cocoon III" - Outstanding Functionality Source :YouTube screenshot This is a heavy tent with many poles and thick fabric. This is a top-of-the-line Coleman tent. It takes two people about 40 minutes to set up, which is rather long, but it's a family tent with excellent functionality and can be used in all four seasons. The living room is larger than that of most Coleman family tents, so there's room for a cooler and shelves as well. In addition, two inner tents can be set up inside if you decide to purchase them (these are sold separately). The sleeping area is also spacious, with room for four sleeping bags, making it perfect for families! The many windows provide good ventilation as well. [Video] 0:20 - Coleman Weather Master Cocoon III No. 4 "Coleman Tunnel 2-Room House/LDX," - A Unique Tunnel Shape Source :YouTube screenshot The main feature of this tent is its four poles, which give it a tunnel-like shape when set up. The eaves allow for a spacious living room and prevent rain from entering the tent. It takes two people approximately 20 to 30 minutes to set up. Setting this tent up is not that difficult, as all you have to do is stand it up after threading the poles through. The secret-base-like shape is quite unique. We recommend this tent to those looking for a family tent that is easy to set up. The video shows two sleeping bags setup inside the tent, but he mentions that you could probably fit a third sleeping bag in. There is a large window in the back and smaller windows on both sides. [Video] 2:48 - Coleman Tunnel 2-Room House/LDX No. 3 "Coleman Tough Wide Dome IV/300" - Cost-Effective and Easy to Set Up Source :YouTube screenshot Among these tents, this one is quite reasonably priced. This tent is recommended for beginners because it has few poles and is easy to set up. Although it seems smaller than the other tents introduced here, the presenter introduces it as No. 3 in terms of price, setup difficulty, and ease-of-use. The inner sleeping area is designed to be spacious. However, it does not have a living room, so it would be best to attach a hexa tarp to it. If you're looking for a 4-person tent that is cozy and easy to set up, consider checking it out. [Video] 4:39 - Coleman Tough Wide Dome IV/300 No. 2 "Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House" - Cost-Effective + Spacious Source :YouTube screenshot A popular Coleman classic. Spacious, yet reasonably priced! If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck, you should check out this family tent, perfect for 4 or 5 people to enjoy camping. It's also reasonably simple to set up and can be pitched by a single person. The living room is wide horizontally, with plenty of room for a table and chairs. Both sides can be opened and can all be converted to mesh, so you can enjoy camping comfortably in both summer and winter. A skirt can also be attached to prevent wind from entering from below. The bedroom has enough space for a family of four to relax together. [Video] 6:57 - Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX No. 1 "Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX" - Cost Effective, Spacious, & Functional Source :YouTube screenshot The greatest feature of this tent is that it has a dark room, making the inner portion completely dark. By adding a roof, this tent is water-resistant and also highly sheltered from light. It's also slightly heavier due to the thickness of the fabric, but Yoshi mentions that the storage bags have been made slightly larger starting from the 2020 models, making it easier to put away. The living room is quite spacious. The bedroom is large enough to fit four sleeping bags. It has seven windows, so ventilation and light can be controlled using these windows. You can even hang a lantern inside the tent. The tent costs just under 100,000 yen with all these features, which is a key point in evaluating it at No. 1. The high light-shielding properties are great for those with small children who still need to take naps as well. [Video] 9:05 - Coleman Tough Screen 2 Room House/LDX Choosing a Tent That Fits Your Camping Style When purchasing family tents and other outdoor goods, in addition to brand and price, durability, water resistance, and wind resistance are also important things to look out for. Even if you find a tent that's reasonably priced tents are expensive compared to the rest of your camping equipment. When you find outdoor goods that you're interested in, one option is to first try renting a tent to see how it feels, and if you like it, consider purchasing it from there. Don't forget to visit outdoor stores and ask the staff to clear up any questions you may have before making a purchase. Coleman releases more and more attractive family tents every year, so be sure to check out information on new products besides the ones listed here. -

Numerous Camping Gear Brands Photo:Camping at night Camping gear is available from a wide variety of brands. Among them, Coleman and Snow Peak are well-known in Japan, while Nordisk, ZANE ARTS, and Helinox are popular among campers looking to camp in style. Other camping gear is available from Workman and even from 100-yen shops all across Japan. When you think of camping gear, the first things that come to mind are probably tents, lanterns, tables, chairs, tarps, and coolers.

The video also explains the advantages of each item that he has realized as an experienced camper. Six Pieces of Camping Gear You Won't Want to Be Without! Now, let's take a look at the recommended camping gear. Source :YouTube screenshot ・Forged Stakes Stakes are essential for securing tents, tarps, and poles. Some tents come with stakes, but in graveled riverbeds, they often bend, as shown in the video. To prevent this from happening, sturdy, forged stakes are a must. [Video] 0:46 - Forged Stakes ・Stake Hammer With Puller An easy-to-use stake hammer is all you need to secure your tent or tarp. The steel hammer shown in the video is also very useful for removing stakes. This hammer can be used to easily pull out stakes stuck in hard ground or long pegs. [Video] 2:13 - Stake Hammer ・Thick Waterproof Groundsheet A thick waterproof groundsheet can be placed under a tent and placed on top of various items to keep them from getting dirty. By preventing your gear from getting dirty, you can also shorten the cleanup time after returning home. [Video] 3:18 - Thick Waterproof Groundsheet Source :YouTube screenshot ・Leather Gloves Campfires are one of the best parts of camping. Many campers enjoy relaxing while gazing at the flames. Leather gloves that are resistant to heat are indispensable for this. In cold weather, you'll need firewood, but leather gloves are also great for preventing injuries when chopping wood. They are also useful when handling hot cookers when cooking. [Video] 4:37 - Leather Gloves ・Broom and Dustpan A broom and dustpan is useful for cleanup. You can sweep away leaves and sand from tents and dirt and dust from groundsheets. In addition, you can clean the inside of your car after camping. The video creator mentions that he prepares two items, one for clean items and one for dirty items, and he uses them separately. It's a small item that's not bulky, but it's useful when you have it. [Video] 5:32 - Broom and Dustpan ・Knife For cutting kindling, a full-tang one is recommended to avoid the knife breaking off at the base. A folding knife is useful for cooking, and should be used separately from the one for cutting firewood. [Video] 6:17 - Knife Summary This article introduced 6 pieces of camping gear that you can't do without! Although it's not a complete list of equipment that you can start camping with, but it's a list of items that you'll be happy you have.

グルメがうなる本物の和食「蕎麦」の美味しさ~「石臼そば」の魅力 こちらの動画は「ANA Global Channel」が公開した「SOBA - IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU - 和食 (蕎麦)」です。 こちらの動画では、神奈川県逗子市に店舗を構える、店主がバングラデシュ出身という異色のお店、蕎麦好きの和食グルメに大人気の手打ち蕎麦屋「石臼そば」を紹介します。 古くから伝わる伝統の製法で作られる「石臼そば」 低カロリーで栄養のある和食として知られる日本蕎麦には「ざる蕎麦」「かけ蕎麦」「つけ蕎麦」「きつね蕎麦」「たぬき蕎麦」「天ぷら蕎麦」「月見蕎麦」「とろろ(山かけ)蕎麦」「おろし蕎麦」「南蛮蕎麦」など数多くの商品がありそのレシピも多様です。 しかし、どの蕎麦も麺の製法で味が決まることに変わりはありません。 古来の日本料理である蕎麦の作り方にこだわる「石臼そば」では、動画で紹介されているように、昔ながらの古い石臼で蕎麦の実を挽くことから蕎麦の仕込みがスタートします。 約3時間石臼を回し、ふるいを通し、きめ細かいそば粉に。 そしてそば粉を水で練り上げ、麺棒で伸ばして蕎麦打ち。 さらに丁寧に断裁し蕎麦切塩釜なども使用し、ようやく蕎麦麺が完成するという根気のいる手順で作られます。 究極の和食として「手打ち」を売りにする蕎麦屋は数多いもの。 「石臼そば」は既成品のそば粉を使用せず、独自のルートで仕入れた原料を昔ながらの製法で作り上げます。 食通の期待に応える緻密な調理法 店主のチョードリーさんは動画の中で 「和食としての蕎麦は、作る職人次第で味が変わるので、作るときはそばに気持ちを集中しないと、グルメの方々が喜ぶ美味しい蕎麦にはなりません。 蕎麦は、その日の気温や湿度の変化によって、毎日水の量お微妙に変える必要がある、非常にデリケートな食材なのです。」 と語ります。 日本全国の和食通やグルメの期待に応えるため、食材の産地にもこだわりがあり、蕎麦の実を北海道から九州まで日本全国から取り寄せています。 蕎麦の糖度は各地で異なり、蕎麦は平地よりも傾いた土地の方が高品質のものが収穫できるので、店では棚田で収穫された蕎麦が使用されています。 蕎麦つゆや蕎麦湯にも独特のこだわりとアレンジが もちろん蕎麦に限らず和食に欠かせないのが蕎麦つゆで、和食好きのグルメにもこだわりがあります。 動画で紹介されているように、「石臼そば」では蕎麦つゆにも深いこだわりを持っており、なんと蕎麦つゆには「かつお節」だけでなく「さば節」と「宗田節」の三種類を使用しているとのこと。 また、昆布は前日に漬け込んでおくという念の入りようで、材料の分量や調理にかける時間で味も変わるため、その微妙な調整に最も神経を遣うと言います。 また、蕎麦湯にもお店独自のアレンジが施されており、一味違う美味しさを味わえます。 「石臼そば」紹介まとめ 京都や静岡など蕎麦処として有名な地域は日本全国にありますが、動画で紹介されている蕎麦店は「日本の古くからの伝統を継承した蕎麦が堪能できる店」として、今では逗子市の名店となりました。 「美味しい和食文化を味わえる店」との評価が高く、多くの観光客が訪れる人気スポットとなっています。
