Tokyo Diaries – Kanda Matsui Part II

May 13, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (4)

More from Kanda Matsuri. I woke up to beautiful sunshine on Sunday morning, so I decided to go back for okawari from the Kanda Matsuri.  Sunday is the day the local neighborhood groups in the “low city” – over 100 of them in total – bring their own mikoshi to […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Kanda Matsuri

May 11, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (6)

In May just about every day has a major festival somewhere in Japan, if you’re willing to look.  But this is one of the big ones. Perfect weather all week, rain on the one day I had something planned – that’s the way it’s been lately in Tokyo.  This week […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Kurayami Matsuri

May 6, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries

Big drums are big. Here are some pictures and videos from the Kurayami Matsuri at Okunitama Jinja in Fuchu, about 30 minutes by express from Shinjuku.  Sorry about the quality – these were all taken at dusk and at night (Kurayama Matsuri means “Darkness Festival” after all) and failing light […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Rikugien Garden

May 1, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (1)

Spring is busting out all over. Golden Week continues – here are some pics from Rikugien Garden, a landscape garden in Bunkyou (five stops from my apartment) that was built at the beginning of the 18th Century.  It’s amazing how the massively crowded metropolis of Tokyo is riddled with beautiful […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Tsutsuji Matsuri

April 27, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Me, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (11)

It feels like summer, but the calendar says April.  I’m truly frightened about what’s to come. Next week is a Golden Week here in Japan, and a precious week off from school (and for most of the country, work).  Sadly, financial issues make a trip impossible and anyway, Golden Week […] Read more

Narita-san, Narita Taiko Matsuri

April 17, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (6)

There’s more to Narita than just an airport… While most people never get past their terminal, there’s actually a town called Narita a few miles away.  It’s the location of one of the most popular temples in Japan (12 million annual visitors) and has a very attractive temple approach lined […] Read more

Enoshima Revisited, and Shirokuma Cafe

April 4, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Shirokuma Cafe, Tokyo Diaries, Tsuritama
Comments (12)

For Tsuritama fans, you can always go home again. I decided to pay another visit to Enoshima on my last day of Spring break.  I’ve been fighting a nasty cold but I was able to make the trip thanks to the wonders of Japanese ibuprofen, which contains lots of caffeine […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – More Sakura

March 30, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (6)

Hey, I can’t help myself – they’re pretty. Two more rounds of cherry blossom shots.  The daytime ones are from Shinjuku Gyoen, a large former Imperial garden just steps away from the madness of central Shinjuku.  It was a drizzly and overcast day, which never lends itself to getting good […] Read more

Anime Contents Expo 2013

March 30, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Japan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (22)

It’s not hard to see a pretty big difference between Kanto’s two rival anime industry conventions. This was my first visit to Anime Contents Expo – it’s only the second that’s ever been held – so I didn’t really know what to expect.  As I mentioned in my TAF post, […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries: Inokashira Park

March 26, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (8)

More Sakura?  Mochiron. I paid a visit to Inokashira Koen in Kichijoji to check out the Sakura today, as it was my favorite spot in Tokyo when I was here in 2011 for the cherry blossom season.  Amazingly enough, it seems we’re already past peak there – though things were […] Read more
