Have you ever seen or stayed capsule hotel in Japan? Walking down
busy downtown streets, you can find them super easily. Especially,
on Friday night, people who missed the last train often stay at the
hotels, and almost all of them become full occupancy usually.
There are some reasons, and I think, the price range of the hotels
is very cheap than the normal hotels. I've often used them in the past,
and it was 2000 - 4000 Yen as far as I remember. The economy hotels
offer us about 6000 - 10000 yen in usual.

Oh sorry, today, I'd like to tell you about 9h (name of a capsule hotel).

Speaking of capsule hotel, I had one image that only elderly man often
used it after the last train and it was a place to rest and sleep in the
small sleep box, but this 9h Hotel has very fashionable style and offer us
very cheap price. You can rest for 17 hours actually for 4900 yen.

Also, to my surprise, the light turn on gradually when you get up in the
morning. The light get you up instead of the alarm sounds.
I heard many people visiting Kyoto know and love this hotel.
Well, I also love to go! Awesome.

It will be held in Feburary. Actually, I've not seen it until now though,
the event appears traditional and popular. They wrestle
on a sumo ring in paddy field being covered in mud...
Of course, it has an origin. They have done the sumo wrestling in mud
for a long time to pray for a good harvest! Curious :)

We had a heavy snow in midnight... It seemed that I was in a different place.
The place I live have a heavy snow every year in winter.

We usually enjoy each season. In the North side in Japan, you can see the
snow festival in several places. I will show about them another time.

Tokyo Skytree opened in May this year in Tokyo has turned itself into like a
fir tree now. So many people are visiting there, so we must wait to enter
for more than an hour even during weekdays now.

On 15 November, the light up show was held there. About 600 people
rang the bells and the color of it turn into green like a fir tree and people
cheered for it.

As you may know, Kobe Luminarie is very beautiful. I often visit Kobe
and Osaka. The two big city are right next door to each other.

Ah I remember. Speaking of Osaka, I remember Kani Douraku.
It is very famous crab restaurant. In Japan, crab auctions has started
recently. They are very expensive usually, but in my office, we are
talking about the auctions every day. And we promised to go eating
it as soon as possible.

When you visit Osaka, please drop in at Kani Douraku. You can find it
very easily because it has large crab figure horehead.
