I love to drive a car so much!! I always go to driving(not short trip) with my friend about twice a year using rent a car, because I can drive latest models' car. I like Toyota and Honda(sorry Kumiko). Besides, I'm interested in French and Italian car, too. PEUJEOT, Alfa Romeo or Maserati. However I have never driven. I want to drive in the future!!

塔のへつり(Tohno-Hetsuri)

Over the time for 1 million years, corrosion and weathering are repeated and it is created better about a brilliant scene.
Tohno-Hetsuri is located in Fukushima, Japan. It takes 40min from British hills by car.
I have been to 2 times here in Fall and early spring. It was very very beautiful and I want to go here in summer next time if I have a chance!!

Fatty Tuna is called "Toro" in Japanese. Toro is one type of Sushi which is belly part of tuna. It's more fatty than other part of tuna.

Toro have two types. Chu-toro and Oh-toro. "Chu" means medium, and "Oh" means highest grade. So, Oh-toro is the highest grade of tuna and the most expensive. This pictures' fatty tuna is about 800yen (about 8 U.S. dollors) each. When you eat toro, you feel like it melt on your tongue. So you don't have to bite it!

The important thing is that toro is very rare part in tuna. It is able to be taken only few amount from a tuna.

Oh,because I talked about toro, I want to eat Toro!!!!!!!!!

British Hills is an accommodation which is located in Fukushima, Japan. I go to here once a year by car. Almost all the staff are native English speakers. In winter, skiing is available at ski resort which is located near the British Hills. At night, we can see beautiful stars in the sky.

What do you associate when you hear the word "fireworks"?? I think typical Japanese associate Summer, sea or rever, food stands, yukata(an informal cotton kimono for the summer season). Anyway, I like to go to see fireworks. Last year, I had gone to 3 times. Is this too much?? I think NO, because some of my friends had gone to 7 to 10 times last summer. It's 2 times a week!! I couldn't believe!! Do you have any plan to see fireworks this summer?? I'll introduce some events in this summer.
