Kanagaya Wakura Onsen

Mar

I was invited to stay at one of the best (if it is not the best) ryokan (Japaneese Traditional Hotel) in Japan. It is such a honor to be atble to stay here.

Kagaya Wakura Onsen is a hot spring resort located in Wakura Onsen, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It is known for its high-quality hot springs, which are said to have therapeutic properties and have been used for centuries to promote health and well-being.

The resort features a variety of hot spring baths, including indoor and outdoor baths, as well as private baths that can be reserved for a fee. In addition to the hot springs, the resort offers a range of amenities, including restaurants, shops, and a spa.

Kagaya Wakura Onsen is also known for its traditional Japanese hospitality, known as "omotenashi," which emphasizes a high level of personalized service and attention to detail.

Traveling Dialysis in Tokyo

Mar

19

When you require dialysis often you are limited from traveling overseas. When it comes to having dialysis in Japan is possible by knowing where you can get dialysis in Jaoan. I am lucky to find places I can get my dialysis. Unfortunately, US insurance does not cover the cost of dialysis in Japan. Fortunately, it costs cheaper in Jaoan. If you need dialysis in Jaoan, feel free to ask me.

Shibuya Station

Shibuya Station ... HACHIKO

Shibuya Scramble Crossing

Shibuya Crossing Building

Miyashita Park

Tokyo is a vast city with many different neighborhoods and districts that could be considered "downtown" areas. The ones you mentioned, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Marunouchi, Akasaka, and Roppongi are all popular commercial, entertainment, and cultural centers that could be considered as downtown areas.

I spent sometike in Shibuya yesterday. There are so many places to see and so many restaurants to visit. It was fun Sunday.

Shabu Shabu Lunch at Shibuya Crossing

Mar

18

You can get Shabu Shabu lunch for less than 2,500 yem ... that is about US$20.
It is considered to be one of more expensive lunch, but the quality is great.
I think in the US, yu are lucky if you can eat a bowl of Ramen at this price.
The price includes sales tax (called comsumption tax) and there is not tipping.

I did not play golf but ...

Mar

18

My golf outing got cancelled today, so I decided to spend some time walking around Tokyo. I started off by visiting Ameyoko to buy a more comfortable pair of shoes. Then, I went to a place where I get all my glasses made to get a new pair. I had lunch in Ueno and then went back to the hotel.

Later, I went to Shinjuku to meet my friend and had dinner. I ended up walking over 5 miles and taking 10,000 steps. I didn't play golf, but I walked a lot. It was a good day.
