Yodobashi Camera Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヨドバシカメラ Kabushiki Gaisha Yodobashi Kamera) is a major Japanese retail chain specializing in electronics, PCs, cameras and photographic equipment.
Yodobashi Camera's sales rank fourth among consumer electronics mass retailers in Japan, after Yamada Denki, Bic Camera and the EDION Group. There are 23 stores operating as of October 2015. In recent years the online shopping platform has been developed to become the second largest in Japan only behind Amazon (though sales of Amazon are over 10 times higher).
Yodobashi Camera was founded by Terukazu Fujisawa in 1960. The original product line up focused on cameras and photographic equipment. Fujisawa adopted a technique of opening up the entrances of his first stores Shinjuku, Ueno and Yokohama to allow a large number of the available products to be seen at a glance facilitating high volume sales at low prices. The stores were in relatively small buildings at prime locations in front of train stations with heavy footfall. Catchy, simple versions of the songs in Yodobashi Camera TV commercials were played in the stores. The store name always included Shinjuku Station West Entrance when mentioned to promote as sense of familiarity in potential customers unfamiliar with the location. Cameras at the time tended to be high-end with prices as high as several hundred thousand yen for a single camera, but customers were incentivised to spend the train fare and time going to inspect these cameras costing tens of thousands of yen below market prices. There was also the advantage of being able to compare products, which attracted consumers.
The Yodobashi Camera product range expanded significantly over time to include home electronics, PCs, audio visual (AV) equipment, toys, branded goods and reading material. The Multimedia Pavilion concept was created, starting with the purpose-built Multimedia Sendai on the site of the former JNR Settlement Corporation freight yard in front of the Sendai train station, where the existing stores were combined and relocated at the east entrance (March 1997), significantly increasing shop floor area.
There are 15 stores in the Kanto region (8 in Tokyo, 2 in both Yokohama and Kawasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture, 1 in Saitama, 1 in Chiba City, Chiba, and 1 in Utsunomiya in Tochigi Prefecture). Outside of the Kanto region, Sapporo in Hokkaido, Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture and Koriyama in Fukushima Prefecture in the Tohoku region, Niigata in Niigata Prefecture and Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture in the Chubu area (only in the Tokai area), the city of Kyoto in Kyoto Prefecture, the city of Osaka in Osaka Prefecture in the Kinki area, and the city of Fukuoka in Fukuoka Prefecture in Kyushu all have each one store. Expansion to all three of the large metropolitan areas and to all of the central regional metropolitan areas with the exception of Hiroshima was achieved with the opening of the store in Nagoya in 2015).
Each store is close to a train station, with the company embracing a rail-side strategy of being convenient and visible to potential customers traveling by train. Other companies in the industry such as Bic Camera and Yamada Denki under the LABI banner use the same strategy. In most cases, with notable exceptions such as Yodobashi Nagoya, Yodobashi Camera acquires land and constructs premises or purchases a site with a building for conversion. Yodobashi's inventory and distribution functions have been optimized using a large warehouse distribution network that began with YAC Kawasaki in Tonomachi (King Skyfront) in 2005. YAC is an acronym for Yodobashi Assembly Center.
Subsequently, Yodobashi Camera opened a series of superstores close to train stations taking advantage of department store and rail network hubs. These include: building the multimedia store at the Hakata Station Shinkansen entrance; acquiring a freight depot site on the east side of Akihabara Station from the Japanese National Railway Settlement Corporation (JNRSC) for Multimedia Akiba (Yodobashi Akiba); a half-year full renovation of the Yokohama Mitsukoshi site to open Multimedia Yokohama (Yodobashi Yokohama), thus consolidating the Nishiguchi Gobangai (5th Avenue at the west entrance) operations; acquiring the north side Kichijōji Station site (previously the Tokyo branch of the Kintetsu Department Store) and remodelling the buildings to open Multimedia Kichijoji (Yodobashi Kichijoji).
5 November 2010 saw the opening of Multimedia Kyoto (Kyoto Yodobashi), purpose built on the site of the Kyoto branch of the Kintetsu Department Store (Platz Kintetsu Kyoto) in front of JR Kyoto Station's Karasuma Central Entrance. Yodobashi Akiba, Yodobashi Kichijoji, Yodobashi Yokohama, Kyoto Yodobashi and Yodobashi Hakata are large shopping centers that include multiple tenants in the same way as Yodobashi Umeda.

Harajuku Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harajuku Station (原宿駅 harajuku-eki?) is a railway station in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The station takes its name from the area on its eastern side, Harajuku.
Lines
This station is served by the Yamanote Line. It is also adjacent to Meiji-Jingumae Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, and is marked as an interchange on most route maps, although there is no physical connection between the two stations.
Station layout
The station consists of a single island platform serving two tracks. An additional temporary platform is located on the west side of the station usable by trains traveling towards Shinjuku which is used when major events occur in the area, especially around New Year when many people visit Meiji Shrine.
The main entrance is at the southern end of the station. A smaller entrance leading to the centre of the platform is convenient for Takeshita Street, a famous area in Harajuku. Takeshita Street is a popular shopping street and the Takeshita Street entrance to Harajuku Station is often very crowded. This congestion creates a bottleneck on weekends when scores of tourists and locals arrive and leave the shopping areas in and around Takeshita Street.
Outside of the Imperial train platform
To the north of the station there is a separate platform serving a loop on the east side of the freight line for use by the Imperial train.35°40′27″N 139°42′14″E
Platform edge doors are scheduled to be installed on the platforms during fiscal 2014.

CHERRY BLOSSOM SEFLIES & MATSUMOTO CASTLE | JAPAN VLOG 2018
Welcome back to another Japan vlog. In this vlog I take you guys along with me from Ikebukuro to Matsumoto and back. My partner and I used our JR passes to go from Ikebukuro to Shinjuku then transferred to a train heading towards to Matsumoto.
On the way there we did not reserve our seats and just hopped on the non-reserved section. It was a pretty packed train. We were lucky to get seats. The train ride from Shinjuku to Mastumoto takes roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes. Once there we walked to the Matsumoto castle which was a beautiful! Some of the streets were lined with Cherry Blossoms.
The castle grounds were so pretty! it was well maintained and again heaps of cherry blossoms. There is an entrance fee to entre and explore the castle itself but it was so worth it. If you have bad knees probably skip it as the stairs are traditional and very steep.
When we had taken all of our photos and explored pretty much all of the grounds we decided to head back to the station. This time we decided to get reserved seats. We went to the JR ticketing office to use one of the machines but one of the lovely staff members did the reserving for us which was really nice of them.
If you are travelling to Japan I recommend getting a pocket wifi from iVideo.

チャンネル登録宜しくお願い致します！！
⇒
仙台駅前を西口、東口、両方から動画を取りました。
AndroidのXperia機で撮影したので、画像はそんなに
良くないかもしれませんが、普通に見ることは可能だと
思います。
仙台駅前はメインの西口と通称裏側の東口からなり、
同じ駅でも別な顔を持っているので、訪れてみると
面白いものがあります(*^^*)
僕が中学生の頃（20年前くらい）とかは東口は
まだまだ発展途上で西口と比べると雲泥の差だったと
認識しておりました。
しかし時は流れて、それからあっという間に仙台市は
急速に発展して、東口周辺も目覚ましい進化を
遂げました！！
今では仙台駅の玄関口でもある西口とも、
そんなに大差がないくらいと言っていいでしょう。
仙台駅はエスパルと言うJRグループの駅ビルがあります。
ここは3つのフロアからなる大型ショッピングモールであり、
それがかなりの存在感があります！！
それ以外にも仙台駅周辺はペデストリアンデッキという
広場と横断歩道橋の両機能を併せ持つ、建物と
接続して建設された、歩行者の通行専用の
高架建築物が有名で、全国のモデルと
なっているそうです。
仙台市は政令指定都市であり、5つの区からなり、
仙台駅がある青葉区が中心地であり、
1番発展しているところでもあります。
仙台市の人口は約108万と言われています。
東日本大震災以後は爆発的に人口増加して、
社会増が回復基調にあるとのことです。
中でも2012年における仙台市の転入超過は、
東京23区に次ぐ全国2番目の数値となったことは
有名であり、そのくらい仙台に集まってくる人は
多いのでしょう。
ま、福島県が例の事故から一気に人口減少して、
そういったことなども、この仙台市が人口増加
している背景でもあるのでしょうね。
ま、僕としては仙台市がもっともっと発展してくれることを
願っています(*^^*)そうすると周辺の
名取市や多賀城市も良い感じに恩恵を受け、
発展してくるからです(*^^*)
実際に名取市や多賀城市は、ここ最近一気に
人口増加して賑わってきていますからねぇ(*^^*)
ということで、今回は仙台市をレポートする動画を
作成しました。
これから他の都市のこともやっていきたいと思います。
I took a video from West Exit, East Exit, both from Sendai Station.
I shot with Android's Xperia machine, so the images are so much
It may not be good, but it is possible to see normally
think.
Sendai station front consists of the main west entrance and the east exit of the back side,
Even at the same station I have another face, so when I visit
There are interesting ones (* ^^ *)
When I was junior high school student (about 20 years ago) or the east entrance
It is still developing and it is a difference of the cloud compared with the West exit
I was aware of it.
But time has flowed, then Sendai city in the immediate future
With rapid development, the east exit also has a remarkable evolution
I accomplished it! !
Today, both the West Exit, which is also the gateway to Sendai Station,
It can be said that there is not much difference.
There is a station building of the JR group called Sendai station called Espal.
This is a large shopping mall consisting of three floors,
That has a considerable presence! !
Besides that, the area around Sendai station is called a pedestrian deck
It has both functions of square and crosswalk bridge, with building
Constructed by connecting, pedestrian traffic only
Elevated buildings are famous, with models across the country
It seems to be getting.
Sendai City is a government designated city and consists of five districts,
Aoba-ku with Sendai station is the center,
It is also the place where I am developing 1st.
The population of Sendai City is said to be about 108 million.
After the Great East Japan Earthquake explosively population increased,
It is said that social increase is on a recovery trend.
Among them, in Sendai City in 2012,
The second largest number in the country after the 23 wards of Tokyo is
People who are famous, that much gathered in Sendai
It will be a lot.
Well, Fukushima prefecture suddenly declined in population from the accident in the example,
As for such things, this Sendai City is increasing population
It is also the background behind it.
Well, as for me, Sendai City develops more and more
I hope (* ^^ *) That way, the surrounding
Natori city and Taga castle city also benefited from good feeling,
It is because it develops (* ^^ *)
In fact Natori city and Taga castle city, recently at a stretch
Because population has increased and it is getting crowded (Hey) (* ^^ *)
So, this time we will post a video reporting Sendai
created.
I would like to continue doing other cities from now on.

Myself Within Japan, Myself Within Fukushima
October 25, 2018
International House, Assembly Hall
1414 E. 59th St
Chicago, IL 60637
I am a so-called ‘Zainichi Korean Resident of Japan,’ and can neither truly call myself Japanese, nor really say that I am Korean. This positionality has prevented me from having any sense of belonging
in the thing called the nation-state. The pain of people forced by the accidents at Fukushima Dai’ichi to drift and to roam touches the
pain that resides within my very being, born as I was at the endpoint of a wandering visited upon my grandparents by the Korean War. Through feeling that pain, and living together in this place, interpersonal connections are made, and within those connections warmth and kindness are nurtured on a daily basis.
And everyday, I ask myself.
What is this thing called ‘home’?
And what is this thing called ‘the nation-state’?
April 21, 2011 was the day I first visited the city of Minami
Soma, in Fukushima Prefecture. It was also the day before
large parts of the city were closed off from the world. That
day marked the beginning of my ongoing relationship with
Fukushima.

accident in a tunnel: sanyo expressway, okayama prefecture
on feb. 15, 2010, a truck slammed into the back of a patrol car near the exit of musa tunnel on a part of the sanyo expressway in okayama prefecture.
the accident caused the tunnel to be blocked and inaccessible. at first, there were a couple explosions rocking the tunnel, which then made everyone abandon their vehicles and escape towards the entrance of the tunnel due to smoke rapidly filling the tunnel.
about an hour and a half later, everyone was taken to a highway patrol office and waited there until we could go back and retrieve their vehicles. about 4 hours later after the accident, we went back to the tunnel, reeking of burned chemicals and plastic, also leaving a dark layer of soot on everyones car. breathing became difficult, but everyone drove out of the tunnel the same way we all came in.
new coverage (including video of the burned out truck and patrol car) can be seen here:

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Japan (Japanese: 日本; Nippon [ɲippoɴ] or Nihon [ɲihoɴ]; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, lit. State of Japan) is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian continent and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea in the south.
The kanji that make up Japan's name mean sun origin, and it is often called the Land of the Rising Sun. Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago consisting of about 6,852 islands.
