James Vidal is a photographer who is from San Francisco.

I used to live there once. My most favorite city in the world.

The Chinese character ‘禁煙’ means No Smoking
James, Are you against smoking or not?

★His comment on our hotel … It is easily accessible via public transportation around Tokyo and affordable rates are attractive, especially for young people

Do you like Japanese green tea?

I heard that some people don't like it because it has bitter taste.
As to me, I really love this tea and I have green tea every day very often
and also every after meal.
I will bring some with me when I go on a trip.
Maybe I can't live without it :p (too much to say?)
That tea is too familiar for me so I didn't think it has bitter taste.

Shizuoka prefecture located at central main land and temperate region
and also famous for tea leaf field.

We can taste freshy green tea in April and May and these tea has freshy and natural sweet flavour.
I have been to Shizuoka with friend of mine for picking green tea leaves.

I really enjoyed standing in the tea field and picking leaves.
And this is a costume for girls for picking leaves...
don't you think we are lovely....or yes.....
you can laugh :p

And after picking, we enjoyed gorgeous lunch, cooking with tea leaves,
that was nice!

Unluckly we could not see Mt.Fuji during our stay
but if it's clear day, you can see Mt.Fuji behind tea field extend all around.
That would be perfect Japanese scenery ;)

And they have many tasty local foods and
hanging around in fish market would be interesting.
Enjoy and find your Shizuoka ;D

What do you associate with the month 'June' ?

I always bring up the image of rain.
The rainy season usually starts from early June and lasts until mid-July in Japan.
The rainy season is called " Tsuyu."

I don’t like to get wet and I cannot get used to the humidity.
However, sometimes I like cozy sound of rain and I am attracted to raindrops.

Throw away mobile phone and iPod … I could enjoy myself with the rain because the rain stimulates the senses of touch, hearing, eyesight and smell.
