Walking in Manhattan - Jan 06

On Jan.21, 2006, I enjoyed walking in as many spots as possible in Manhattan. One of the happiest days in my life !!

Redang Island-Malaysia

Redang is located in the South China Sea off the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. I visited this beautiful island with two friends of mine on July 2005 for three days. The transparent, and blue sea was impressive, while we were unfortunately bothered by rainy weather.... It was really enjoyable to do snorkelling, which was my first experience in my life. Hope to come back there again.

Kawarayu & Kusatsu Onsen

On August 6, 2005, I made a short trip to Kawarayu and Kusatsu Onsen, two small and big hotsprings in Gunma Prefecture, which are 2 hours and a half away from Tokyo by express train.

Impressed by the essayist Kozaburo Arashiyama, I got to know Kawarayu Onsen which is destined to sink under the big dam to be constructed in 7 years. It was a very small, and frankly, lonely town, however, the natural scenary there is wonderful and I enjoyed walking in the forest and watching a fall and a deep valley. Thereafter, I visited Kusatsu, which is one of the largest hotsprings in Japan, and actually lots of sightseeners gathered there. I absolutely prefer smaller Kawarayu Onsen.

Please visit the site below, and enjoy a cool summer!http://tabun_dabun.typepad.jp/photos/kawarayu_kusatsu_onsen/index.html
