Usually, Taglyn and Nishi work at night snappily.
However, when they work at daytime, they become excited.
Oneday, our guest left the baloon, and it will be their toy.

Look at their face. They are like little kids.

Hey guys, be cool.

Have you try lunch at our cafe?

Oneday, Tomoe who is working at Sakura Hostel Asakusa, visited us. So we had lunch together.
Tomoe had cream pasta and I had mushroom and squid pasta.
It was so delicious!! They served it with soup, salada and coffee. I can't believe it is only 650yen.

Hey, Tomoe, you should hide the glass that you are holding. It is a secret!

Anyway, thanks for coming.
Let's go for drink sometimes ;)

Hi, I am back from Oze national park last week.
It was my first time to visit Oze national park in autumn.
I was surprised how their autumn colored leaves are beautiful.
It was like an orange colored carpet!!

We enjoyed hiking at the orange carpet. Because we hiked more than 6hours(?!!), I had muscle pain with my leg on next day. This is how I don't walk in my daily life....

↑Boardwalk is a famous at Oza national park. Thought this boardwalk getting old, some of them are maintenaced every year. Good for hiking♪
In June, it will be marsh and we can see beautiful flower called "Mizubasho"水芭蕉 for all over.

At the night, we enjoyed the delicious meal. Especially, the fish called "Iwana" was great. I ate that fish with three different ways; sashimi (eat as low), salt broiled with charcoal fire, and kotsu sake.
Kotsu zake is unique sake. It is like hot sake with broiled fish. So we can taste like fish taste sake, and those two are match perfectly.

↑Iwana as a salt broiled fish. ↑kotsu-zake (fish sake). It was served with fish shaped sake bottle.

↑Can you see the fish into the fish?

**Access information.

Taglyn came back from Romania.
Unfortunary, he didn't bring beautiful ladies :P
Instead, he brought many chocolates which satisfied us.

When he enter the entrance of our hotel, we all asked him like
"How was travel?"
"Where did you go?"
"What did you see?"
"What did you eat?"
"Where did you stay?"
"How was Dracula's castle?"
"Was Romanian ladies are beautiful?"
Soooooo many questions.
He didn't (maybe coudn't?) answer those quesitons but his face said that he really enjoyed his vacation in Romania.

Hey Taglyn, you became famous in this blog. So I think it is time to write about your introducing. Tell us story about you and travel in Romania.
We all are waitiling for that.
Don't be shy ☆

Here are the boys who love cabbages!
Their T-shirts say ``Let's use cabbages`` (Do they mean 'let's eat a lots of cabbages'?)

They made this T-shirts in Japan.
That's somehow funny so I asked why they chose this words.
They said 'Because,we love cabbage!!'

OK then, we respect cabbages and eat lots of them for our health ;)

OZE national park from tomorrow.

Oze is one of the famous national park in Japan.
It is across the 4 prefectures (Niigata, Tochigi, Gunma, and Fukushima .),
Huge park!

Oze national park is muskeg area surrounded by several mountains. It is also famous as marsh pond. We can see marsh pond only in few place in Japan.
It is like a pond with mash. hmmmm...hard to explain. I guess I will take a picture and up this blog.
The walikway in Oze national park are made by wooden boardwalk, thus it is good for hiking.

But problem is, oze national park is very far from my home. I have to leave 5AM and drive 5hours!! I am wondering if I can wake up.. I am thinking to ask Yoshi who is working for overnight today , for wake up call for tomorrow morning.
Anyway, I will enjoy the Autumn travel in Oze national park.
Have a good weekend!
ciao ciao♪
