Introducing the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel of Saitama Prefecture This video, titled "Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel [Saitama Prefecture Official Sightseeing Video]" (首都圏外郭放水路【埼玉県公式観光動画】), was released by "Chokotabi Saitama." The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, also known as the "Underground Parthenon," is one of the largest underground drainage channels in the world, designed to protect the eastern area of Saitama Prefecture from floods. The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel is a tunneling shield constructed using the muddy-shield type method, and boasts a length of about 6.3 km with an inner diameter of about 10 m. Enjoy the video of the beautiful underground drainage channel, reminiscent of a temple, in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. A Closer Look at the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel Introduced in the Video Photo：The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, Saitama Prefecture The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel is a flood protection facility built by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism; and Kasukabe City is in charge of its maintenance. It began being used in June 2006. The official nickname is "Sairyu no Kawa" (the River of Sairyu) but it is also referred to as an underground temple. It is a class A river (specified waterways of special importance protected by the government) belonging to the Tone River system and is a ministerial management section (section outside the designated section) under direct control of the national government. The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, which is located directly under the National Route 16 highway, has the ability to reduce flooding in the Naka River, Kuramatsu River, Ootoshi Furutone River, No.18 Channel, and the Komatsu River. The Function of the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel Photo：The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, located 22m underground, is 177m long, 78m wide, and 18m tall. Each pillar weighs 500 tons, and 59 of them line the inside of the channel. You can see the pillars lined up in the facility from 1:05 in the video. The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel consists of an "inflow facility" and a "vertical shaft," a "tunnel" that drains floods, a "pressure control water tank" that weakens the force of water and secures the flow, and a "drainage pump station" that discharges floods. In the event of a flood, rainwater is stored in the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel and then pumped out to the Edo River to prevent damage. During Typhoon No. 19 in 2019, it helped to dramatically deter damage by filling with water to 90% of its maximum capacity. Summary of the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel of Saitama Prefecture Photo：The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel is a comprehensive and lifelong learning facility, and you can tour the inside of the pressure-regulating water tank that is introduced in the video (reservations are required). During the tour, you can see the operation room show at 0:37 in the video, and the first vertical shaft that you can see from 1:48 that guides the drainage from the river, so if you want to experience one of the safeguards protecting Saitama from mother nature, be sure to visit the facility. If you want to tour the facility, be sure to stay on the lookout for the Showa Drainage Pump Station that can be seen from 0:21 in the video, in the underground exploration museum for the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, which is also called "Ryu Q Kan." 【Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel】 【Address】720 Kamikanasaki Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture 【Access】10 minutes by car or bus from Tobu Noda Line Minami-Sakurai Station 【Official Website】Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel https://www.ktr.mlit.go.jp/edogawa//edogawa_index045.html 【Tripadvisor】Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1021410-d12864760-Reviews-The_Metropolitan_Area_Outer_Underground_Discharge_Channel-Kasukabe_Saitama_Pref.html

Aogashima Island Near Hachijojima Island, Tokyo Located 358 kms from Tokyo, Aogashima is a unique island with rich natural scenery. Aogashima is an isolated island with a distinctive double caldera topography. The unique shape of Aogashima, which was created by an active volcano, is growing in popularity, both inside and outside of Japan, as this type of landscape cannot be seen in many other places, especially in one so beautiful. In the olden days, the island was forbidden to women, and they say there was a time when it was called "Onga-Shima" (男ヶ島, Onga-Shima), meaning roughly "Man's Island." The island has the smallest population of any village in Japan, and is full of beautiful scenery.

Aogashima is a great spot for those who want to enjoy the beautiful scenery as the area is still relatively untouched humans.

It takes some time to get to the island, and you may feel it's inconvenient, but once you are surrounded by the stunning nature of Aogashima, you'll feel that it was worth the effort.

Recently, registration for Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is also required to visit the U.S. A visa is an entry permit, and depending on the destination, you will not be able to leave the country without one. Different Kinds of Passports Source :YouTube screenshot The passport introduced at 3:17 in the video, is an official passport, called a "diplomatic passport" for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which is different from the red and blue passports (general passports) that most people have.

Duty-Free Shops in Narita Airport! This video, created by “Traveler’s Factory（成田空港免税店）”, introduces duty-free (tax-free) shops in Narita Airport. Narita International Airport represents international airports in Japan, and is located in Narita, Chiba prefecture. Narita airport consists of three terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3, and has wide variety of stores. If you are planning to travel abroad or use Narita Airport for sightseeing around Japan, we recommend taking a look at the video to get a feel for the duty-free shops there. What is a “Duty-Free” Shop? Some Benefits of Duty-Free Stores. Photo：Duty-Free Shop Duty-free shops, which are shown in the video, are stores where people can purchase items at a price exempted from customs or sales tax in order to encourage consumption outside of Japan. Therefore, we mostly see these kinds of stores at airports or in busy shopping districts. One of the best benefits of duty-free shops is that we can get items at a cheaper price without sales tax. For example, you can buy alcohol and tobacco at prices exempt from alcohol and tobacco taxes, as well as sales tax. This means you can get these items for a cheaper price than at ordinary retail stores in Japan. Why are Duty-Free Shops Tax Exempt? Photo：Duty-Free Shop All the items are at duty-free shops are tax exempt because the Japanese sales tax system cannot be applied at international airports; International airports do not belong to any country. In addition, these items are regarded as “exported goods” to be used outside of Japan. Japanese people can also enjoy shopping at duty-free shops in Japan; If they are at the airport for international departures, they can purchase items after departure procedures. They are also asked for their passports when making a purchase. If you see stores with a sign saying “Duty-Free Shop” or “Tax Free Shop,” you can buy tax-exempt items. What Kind of Duty-Free Shops are there in Narita Airport? Source :YouTube screenshot In Narita Airport, most people go to either Terminal 1 where ANA is in service, or Terminal 2 where JAL is in service. In both terminals, there are some duty-free shops selling brand-name products such as Tiffany & Co., Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel, where you can buy designer wallets, bags, watches, and so on. From 0:37 in the video, you can see signs of some popular shops such as: “Dior,” “GUCCI,” “GIORGIO ARMANI,” “HERMES,” and “CHANEL.” You can also see the cameraman purchasing a Chanel perfume at 2:17. At Narita Airport's duty-free shops you can shorten your pre-departure shopping by using the “pre-order” or “mail order” services. You can pre-order the items you want before even going to the airport! Each shop has different opening hours, but most shops open at 7 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. You might also see some duty-free shops when returning to Japan from foreign countries. Some of these shops sell foreign spirits and perfumes, and you can buy brand-name products at tax-exempted prices. It's much more affordable to buy expensive products you can rarely get, at these stores. At duty-free shops, a wide variety of items such as food, cameras, electronics, watches, and even traditional Japaneses crafts are popular among foreign visitors, . Precautions when Using Duty-Free Shops Photo：Tourist However, there are some precautions you need to bear in mind when using duty-free shops. First, you are not allowed to open or use tax-free items before leaving Japan; These are sold to be consumed outside of the country. Moreover, because these tax-free items are treated as “exported goods,” it is prohibited to use them within Japan. If you are foreign visitors from outside of Japan, you can also use the “Okinawa Regional Duty-Free Shop System” to buy some items at duty-free shops in cities like Akihabara. In this case, it’s also prohibited to use your tax-free items before leaving Japan. In extreme cases it’s possible that you may be asked to pay taxes when you leave the country. If you follow the guidelines listed above though, you'll have nothing to worry about! In addition, if you plan on using a flight connection overseas, you have to be careful when purchasing tax-free alcohol and tobacco; the amount of alcohol and tobacco you can bring into each country is different. Moreover, in some countries, the items you bought at duty-free shops are treated as imported items. In this case, it’s possible that you will be asked to pay tariffs. That being said, before buying tax-free items, we recommend checking the laws in the country you are going to. Overview of Duty-Free Shops in Japan Source :YouTube screenshot Today we introduced a video on duty-free shops at Narita Airport and tax exemption there. Unfortunately, some Japanese people probably think that they cannot buy items at these kind of stores before departures. If you have a chance to visit international airports in Japan, like Narita Airport in this video and Kansai Airport in Osaka, please try visiting the duty-free shops they have! 【Official Website】 Narita International Airport Official Website https://www.narita-airport.jp/en/ 【Tripadvisor】 Narita International Airport (NRT) https://www.tripadvisor.com/Airport-g298161-qNRT-Narita_Chiba_Prefecture_Kanto.html

The Televised Address of Emperor Akihito The video this time is the televised address that was made by Emperor Akihito. He released the video to the Japanese citizens on August 8th, 2016. He expressed his thoughts, attracting a lot of attention not only in Japan, but also abroad as well. What Was the Televised Address About? Source :YouTube screenshot In the video, Emperor Akihito , the 125th emperor of Japan, expressed his desire to retire from his official duties. To summarize his feelings, he was prompted to consider abdicating before his death due to the fact fact that his age (82 at the time) was making it difficult for him to serve the nation as the symbolic emperor. Japan's Emperor System and Abdication Photo：General visit to the Imperial Palace Emperor Akihito's declaration had a great deal to do with Japan's Imperial House System and Law. Currently, the abdication of the throne is only carried out when the emperor at the time passes away. In order to make abdication possible, the Imperial House Law needs to be amended. As there had never been such a case in modern times, the abdication of the Emperor during his lifetime and next era name were carefully chosen. Subsequently, after extensive discussion, the abdication of the Emperor was approved by amending the laws of the Japanese Constitution to allow him to abdicate during his lifetime. In June 2017, the Special Imperial Household Law on the Abdication of the Emperor and Other Matters was promulgated and came into effect on April 30, 2019. Accordingly, on April 1, 2019, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga announced the new era name, "Reiwa." The abdication of the throne took place on April 30, and on May 1, Crown Prince Naruhito ascended the throne as the new Emperor of Japan. Summary of former Emperor Akihito's Public Address Photo：Japanese era The video message from Former Emperor Akihito, introduced here, expresses his feelings regarding his reasons for abdication. With His Majesty's decision to abdicate, the succession to the throne and the transition from "Heisei" to "Reiwa" proceeded smoothly in a harmonious festive atmosphere.

It's a bit different than regular soccer, but just as interesting. In this article, we’ll introduce the appeal of blind soccer alongside the video. Blind Soccer - History and Rules Photo：Soccer Blind soccer is a 5 member soccer match designed for visually impaired athletes. During the matches players wear blindfolds and head gear to protect their faces. The sport was established in the early 1980s. Blind soccer is played in accordance with a modified version of the futsal rules set by FIFA. The sport is managed by the Japan Blind Football Association (JBFA). Blind soccer is generally played by players with visual impairment at the level of complete loss of sight. They play by discerning where the ball is through a bell that rings inside the ball as it moves, and through voice communication. There is a caller (guide) behind the goals who gives the distance and the angle to the goal. The only exception to the blind players is the keeper who has full sight. Each game consists of 20-minute halves. When charging for the ball to defend or going to the sideline for a ball, players shout "Voy!" to prevent collisions.
