JAPANESE WINE COUNTRY | Koshu, Yamanashi
Yamanashi is the center for Japanese wine. As a wine lover, I had to stop by for some tasting while exploring Yamanashi.
I started at Daizen-ji, nicknamed Budo-ji (Grape Temple). This is where grapes in the region started so I figured it would be a good place to start myself.
I also stopped at 3 wineries. Château Mercian, Haramo Wine, and Budo no Oka. All three were very different experiences from each other and I'm very happy with how my wine tasting adventure turned out.
Much love and happy travels

EXPLORING KOFU CITY - YAMANASHI PREFECTURE????????
I'm lucky enough to be in Yamanashi Prefecture this week with the government on an official tour! Today I travelled to Kofu City where I had an amazing Soba lunch, followed by a wine tour + tasting at Sadoya Winery. We then headed to Koshuyumekouji which is a cute little shopping street, to try to famous Raisin Sandwich, made from the leftover grapes from the local wineries. We finished up the night with an amazing Kaiseki multi-course dinner at Kasugai Hotel & a relaxing outsoor onsen!

Yamanashi Prefecture (English)
Promotion video of the beauty of Yamanashi prefecture - Japan.
This video is copyrighted, please contact us if you want to use this video.
Yamanashi prefecture is located near the center of Honshu, the main island of Japan. It has an area of 1,723.8 mi2 and a population of 890,000. Surrounded by 6,560-9,840 ft high mountains and rich in nature, 78% of the prefecture is covered by forests--including those of its three national parks and one quasi-national park, such as the famous Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
Kofu city, the capital of Yamanashi, is located in a geographically important area, connecting the industrial areas of the Pacific Ocean and the Japan Sea coasts. Kofu continues to develop as a political, economic and cultural center, especially thanks to the completion of the Chuo Expressway, which offers easy access to the national capital, Tokyo. Yamanashi is well noted as an inland industrial prefecture with both advanced technological and traditional industries.
Among the various products of Yamanashi, the fruits grown in its favorable environment are some of the most famous. Its harvest of grapes, peaches and plums is ranked as the best and most beautiful in Japan, and the wines made of Koshu grapes are well known all over the world. In addition, kaiki (traditional weaving of silk textiles), crystal crafting, and the production of washi, or Japanese paper, are all very popular. Techniques refined in Yamanashi for cutting precious stones are among the most advanced in the world, as well.
Mountain climbing and hot springs are among the most popular forms of recreation in Yamanashi. The many hot springs in the area offer health benefits and relaxation. The largest spring in the prefecture, located in Isawa, is only one and a half hours from Tokyo.
Mt. Fuji and the five lakes for its breathtaking scenery, the southern alps for its serious mountain climbing, the Chichibu-Tama area for hiking and beautiful ravines, and the Yatsugatake highland area for pastoral surroundings--these are the gateways where many people find their chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. After hiking, tennis, field athletics, or fishing, why not try one of our delicious local specialties? Hoto made of thick noodles and vegetables in a rich miso soup will warm you up on even the coldest winter day.
Yamanashi is an inland prefecture, holding no ocean coast. People in this area have learned to overcome the severe elements of inland climate over a long period of time. This is said to have built a character of patience and endurance in the populace. You will find people warmhearted, caring and conscientious.

Japan Trip 2013 Tokyo adhoc Shinjuku Shop Building 773
The adhoc sporting goods shop
Shinjuku
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shinjuku (新宿区 Shinjuku-ku?, New Lodge) is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan. It is a major commercial and administrative centre, housing the busiest train station in the world (Shinjuku Station) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the administration centre for the government of Tokyo.
As of 2008, the ward has an estimated population of 312,418 and a population density of 17,140 people per km². The total area is 18.23 km².
History
In 1634, during the Edo period, as the outer moat of the Edo Castle was built, a number of temples and shrines moved to the Yotsuya area on the western edge of Shinjuku. In 1698, Naitō-Shinjuku had developed as a new (shin) station (shuku or juku) on the Kōshū Kaidō, one of the major highways of that era. Naitō was the family name of a daimyo whose mansion stood in the area; his land is now a public park, the Shinjuku Gyoen.
In 1920, the town of Naitō-Shinjuku that comprised large parts of present-day Shinjuku, parts of Nishi-Shinjuku and Kabukichō was integrated into Tokyo City. Shinjuku began to develop into its current form after the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923, since the seismically stable area largely escaped the devastation. Consequently, West Shinjuku is one of the few areas in Tokyo with many skyscrapers.
The Tokyo air raids from May to August 1945 destroyed almost 90% of the buildings in the area in and around Shinjuku Station. The pre-war form of Shinjuku, and the rest of Tokyo, for that matter, was retained after the war because the roads and rails, damaged as they were, remained, and these formed the heart of the Shinjuku in the post-war construction. Only in Kabuki-cho was a grand reconstruction plan put into action.
The present ward was established on March 15, 1947 with the merger of the former wards of Yotsuya, Ushigome, and Yodobashi. It served as part of the athletics 50 km walk and marathon course during the 1964 Summer Olympics.
In 1991, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government moved from the Marunouchi district of Chiyoda to the current building in Shinjuku. (The Tokyo International Forum stands on the former site vacated by the government.)

This is a video of the 2.5 mile trip from JCMU to Hikone station.
quick tour of shinjuku
Was in Shinjuku doing some christmas shopping, and stopped at random places to take some shots of the sights and people in Shinjuku.
0:14 Intersection in front of Omoide Yokocho
0:30 JR station East exit in front of Alta
0:37 Yasukuni dori Isetan department store
0:51 on the Koshu Kaido overlooking the Green Peas pachinko parlor. There is a kebab stand that I usually go to when I'm hungry right next to the pachinko parlor.
0:57 Again on Koshu Kaido. This time overlooking one of the busiest places in Shinjuku foot traffic wise. Countless people passing out kleenex and other papers, street performers, guys trying to pick up girls, and between the two staircases a thick cloud of cigarette smoke.
1:06 From the overpass looking at the South exit of JR station. This is where news crew post up whenever there are typhoons or train delays.
1:11 Same overpass looking the opposite direction towards Nishi Shinjuku. The three tiered building in the distance is the Park Hyatt hotel where they stayed in the movie Lost in Translation.
1:19 Overlooking Shinjuku Gyoen from Takashimaya department store
1:22 Taito station Shinjuku Minami game center. Gunslinger Stratos which is some kind of FPS
1:27 rhythm/timing games are pretty big here. It's amazing to watch how much eye hand coordination they have.
1:32 DDR still draws people
1:53 not your regular ledges and wedges. Coin games are on another level here
2:11 A quiet moment for a security person as he watches a Kyari Pamyupamyu video on the huge screen at Labi
2:22 Looking towards ShinOkubo from Odakyu department store overpass
2:31 The bus depot on the west side of JR station

Japan Trip 2014 Tokyo Shinjuku Night view Stroll in the Shinjuku-dōri
Shinjuku, Tokyo
Shinjuku (新宿区 Shinjuku-ku?, New Lodge) is a special ward located in Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. It is a major commercial and administrative centre, housing the busiest train station in the world (Shinjuku Station) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the administration centre for the government of Tokyo. As of 2008, the ward has an estimated population of 312,418 and a population density of 17,140 people per km². The total area is 18.23 km².
Geography and neighborhoods
Shinjuku is surrounded by Chiyoda to the east; Bunkyo and Toshima to the north; Nakano to the west, and Shibuya and Minato to the south.
The current city of Shinjuku grew out of several separate towns and villages, which have retained some distinctions despite growing together as part of the Tokyo metropolis.
East Shinjuku: The area east of Shinjuku Station and surrounding Shinjuku-sanchome Station, historically known as Naito-Shinjuku, houses the city hall and the flagship Isetan department store, as well as several smaller areas of interest:
Kabukichō: Tokyo's best-known red-light district, renowned for its variety of bars, restaurants, and sex-related establishments.
Golden Gai: An area of tiny shanty-style bars and clubs. Musicians, artists, journalists, actors and directors gather here, and the ramshackle walls of the bars are literally plastered with film posters.
Shinjuku Gyoen: A large park, 58.3 hectares, 3.5 km in circumference, blending Japanese traditional, English Landscape and French Formal style gardens.
Shinjuku Ni-chōme: Tokyo's best-known gay district.
Nishi-Shinjuku: The area west of Shinjuku Station, historically known as Yodobashi, is home to Tokyo's largest concentration of skyscrapers. Several of the tallest buildings in Tokyo are located in this area, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, KDDI Building and Park Tower.
Ochiai: The northwestern corner of Shinjuku, extending to the area around Ochiai-minami-nagasaki Station and the south side of Mejiro Station, is largely residential with a small business district around Nakai Station.
Ōkubo: The area surrounding Okubo Station, Shin-Okubo Station and Higashi-Shinjuku Station is best known as Tokyo's historic ethnic Korean neighborhood.
Totsuka: The northern portion of Shinjuku surrounding Takadanobaba Station and Waseda University. The Takadanobaba area is a major residential and nightlife area for students, as well as a commuter hub.
Ushigome: A largely residential area in the eastern portion of the city.
Ichigaya: A commercial area in eastern Shinjuku, site of the Ministry of Defense.
Kagurazaka: A hill descending to the Iidabashi Station area, once one of Tokyo's last remaining hanamachi or geisha districts, and currently known for hosting a sizable French community.[4]
Yotsuya: An upscale residential and commercial district in the southeast corner of Shinjuku. The Arakichō area is well known for its many small restaurants, bars, and izakaya.
Shinjuku is often popularly understood to mean the entire area surrounding Shinjuku Station, but the Shinjuku Southern Terrace complex and the areas to the west of the station and south of Kōshū Kaidō are part of the Yoyogi district of the city of Shibuya.
Naturally, most of Shinjuku is occupied by the Yodobashi Plateau, the most elevated portion of which extends through most of the Shinjuku Station area. The Kanda River runs through the Ochiai and Totsuka areas near sea level, but the Toshima Plateau also builds elevation in the northern extremities of Totsuka and Ochiai. The highest point in Shinjuku is Hakone-san in Toyama Park, 44.6 m above sea level.

[ Journeys in japan ] Munakata The Sea and Goddesses
Munakata City is located in northwestern Kyushu, facing the Sea of Genkai. As an ancient maritime trade route, Munakata opened its doors to international commerce and cultures, playing an important role in history. The city has been nurtured by deep faith since mythical times. And the 1,400-year-old Munakata Taisha, which worships 3 sister goddesses, is at the center of that faith. Munakata Taisha holds an annual ritual in which the 2 elder goddesses - who live on nearby islands - travel to join their younger sister in Munakata. Hundreds of fishing boats take part in the spectacular Miare Festival, carrying vibrant banners. On Journeys in Japan, Poet Peter MacMillan follows the traces of the ancient people who directed their eyes to the sea and beyond.
