It’s my day off today.
I studied about Japan sightseeing information and food origin of the each words (Where does a cookie originated, Why does it name a croissant etc…).Because I want to talk a lot of foreign customers in my restaurant. I almost talk about formal conversation to them.
I downloaded free the “Your guide to Japan” from Japan National Tourist Organization web site. But it was written in English. I think I want to use this guide in this class and study about Japan with you. How about this idea?
I’m going to a hot spring in my neighborhood tonight alone.

Tokyo & Vicinity
Tokyo — the most exciting metropolis in Asia.
This is a where traditions from centuries past exist side by side with the ever-moving elements of the latest in urban culture that radiate their own special heat and energy.

The Tokyo Metropolitan area is home to onequarter of all Japanese, with 12 million souls in Tokyo proper alone. The Imperial Palace, formerly Edo Castle, is still surrounded by its original innermost moat. Handsome gates and old guard towers are set at intervals around the grounds. The main entrance is approached by the elegant Nijubashi or Double Bridge and is open to the public on special
occasions. The East Garden (Higashi Gyoen) is where the original donjon once stood. The garden is graced with flowers and blossoms of each season, open to all as an ideal place for relaxation.
