Katchaman’s Amazing JAPAN guide at Nara Power Spot (Sacred Place) “Tenkawa Jinja - Tenkawa Daibenzaitensha in Summer[夏の天河大辨財天社・奈良県]

katchaman — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:15:38 +0000

I can recommend Daibenzaitensha as a sacred place in Japan.

Tenkawa-dai-benzaiten-sha is located in the center of Japan’s spiritual heartland, the Kii Mountain range, this shrine is filled with sacred energy emanating from the dense forest on the holy mountain Omine-san with No admittance to woman. Since the shrine’s principal object of worship, sheltered at the top of Mount Misen (alt. 1,895 m), is Benzaiten, the goddess of music and fine arts, many artists regularly perform concerts dedicated to the spirit. These attract considerable attention.

Wajima-nuri ‘’lacquer-coated Inn’’

toshihiro_morita — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:36:32 +0000

We sometimes get a rash from lacquer. But that won’t not occuer unless we touch the concentrate lacquer solution. So completely dried lacquer is a harmless natural material which won’t even irritate the skin of a baby.

Lacquer is waterproofed and antibacterial. So it has been utilized as the coating compositions for building materials since early times. In Wajima, they paint lacquer onto not only exterior wall but also the walls, floor, and interior pillars. It looks so fine and beautiful as if the whole city is a traditional craft.

This time, I would like to introduce the inn named ‘Fukasan’ where I stayed during my visit to Wajima, The entire building is coated with Lacquer.

The whole building is finished with wipe-lacquer, which adds to its appeal.

‘Wipe-lacquer’ is a traditional technique to rub lacquer into lumber that is repeated several times to ensure a nice coating which can highlight the natural woodgrain pattern.

All of the wooden materials in this inn including the walls, floor, and pillars, are finished with wipe-lacquer. They have a silky smooth touch.

The bath and ceilings are finished with wipe-laquer as well.
The bath is a natural hot spring. Each window in the bath is very large and offers a expansive view, which make you feel comfortable and able to relax as if we were enjoying an open-air spa.

Seafood and seasonal vegetables arranged on Wajima-nuri lacquerware. I enjoyed dry Sake, named ‘Noto-Hirosue’ which is made by Nakajima-Syuzo Breweries.

Breakfast.
Tsurumo (a kind of local seaweed) was in the miso soup. It is a gooey and delicious healthy food containing plenty of fucoidan.During my stay in Wajima, I was not only able to find good lacquer wares but also learned how to enjoy and use these traditional goods.
This inn is family owned and-operated. I was really satisfied with their cordial service and carefully-prepared food, which left me feeling as if I stayed a five star hotel.

Noboribetsu hot spring (Hokkaido) “Kodaman’s J-Trip”

kodaman — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:59:53 +0000

On early June, I visited Sapporo,Hokkaido for my work as a event’s MC.

At the next day of the event, I and my friends went to Noboribetsu by using a gorgeous bus served by Cool star corp. It took for about 90 min to go to Noboribetsu area from Sapporo by bus.

Our tour started from 9:30 at Shin Sapporo.

1.Let’s riding a buggy at Noboribetsu Off-road Park( 11:15)

2.Genghis Khan pan (13:00)

3.Noboribetsu hot spring (Noboribetsu Grand Hotel) (14:00)

I only have this photo at the grand hotel… Many kinds of caramel are popular in Hokkaido as a souvenir. Let’s try Genghis Khan caramel,,, That’s too stink!!

4.Oyu Numagawa Natural footbath(大湯沼川天然足湯）(15:00)

It was first time for me to take natural footbath and I was so relaxed. At the upstream of Numagawa footbath, we can take a bath, my friend said so. Of course swim ware is needed.

5.Lake Kuttara in Shikotsu Toya National park (16:00)

It was first time to ride a buggy. Fantatic! The water quality of Noboribetsu hot spring is the best to make skin smooth. There are many places to visit in Noboribetsu area. In addition to information above, people can visit to Bear park, Jigokudani and more. I am not good at drinking alcohol but I drunk blue beer a lot during this tour.

This Blue Beer is called “Ryu-hyo Draft”.
