Comment on Fujiya Hotel by yukarisakamoto

The Fujiya Hotel is also famous for its curry. A gourmet friend of mine would do a day trip to the Fujiya Hotel from Chiba with his wife to have the curry. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, you can go, have curry, and then soak in one of the local hot springs.

Comment on One Night in Koza by greenejaponica

Fueling all of that heavy rock music, Koza City also had a darker side.
In December 1970, it saw Okinawa’s largest anti-American riot, with over 3000 locals beating up servicemen, torching their cars and storming the air force base.
There’s an article on the 39th anniversary of the riot here: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20091227×1.html

The car ride is definitely a must do if possible. There is so much beautiful scenery not to try while you’re there.

Two of my friends went camping near Yumoto-onsen. It was freezing cold at night, but the view is amazing when they woke up in the morning!

Interesting island that reminds me somewhat of Alcatraz from the photo.

Yeah, there are loads of live houses in Koenji – 20,000V, UFO Club, High, Missions, Enban, Muryoku Muzenji, Penguin House, etc. – and it’s historically been one of the hubs of the Tokyo punk/hardcore scene. I’ll be doing a story on it at some point in the future.

I hear Koenji (Chuo Line) has a good live music scene. Any insight on that?

Andy – thanks for the article! My wife and I hope to try some hitching this next summer. We traveled all over the place with the Juhachi kippu this past one. What a hoot!

My wife and I stopped by Yamadera on the way to Tendo on the suggestion of a Japanese friend. It is truly one of the nicest and most beautiful places we have been to so far. I would highly recommend a visit!

I can’t remember the name of the hotel but it is near Lake Chuzenji…I opened my window and I had this amazing view of the lake. Nikko is a great place to visit even during off-season.

A perfect palce for those renagade re-make buffs to use as a backdrop for any Ring / Saw type of movie.

For a little bit further, get on the Keio link and head for Mogusa En – within 30 minutes from Shinjuku.

Comment on Exploring Izu’s Interior by richandjoan

Dear Mandy,

Good piece on Izu. We explored a bit of Shimoda this past September and want to get to the other side, especially on bicycles next summer.

Are the roads good for biking? Hilly? In good condition? We are also thinking about camping along the way. Do you know anything about camping down there?

Cheers,

Rich Bailey

Thanks for the article, Charles! It looks like a nice place. My wife and I did a lot of exploring this summer, and this sounds like another good destination.

We went down to Shimoda on the Izu Hanto peninsula in early September for some beach time and camping. It was really nice, with some great beaches. We want to go back with touring bicycles and explore the western side of the peninsula; it sounds really good.

Have a good one!
