Today by bicycle I came home. The wind was quite cold. It is still autumn, but the night was cold. I will want to eat Oden such a cold night. Oden is the common people cooking of Japan. Vegetables, tofu products, fish, and meat are boiled in broth, and they will be Oden. Eating warm Oden on a cold night is a pleasure for me. In Japan, convenience store, when it comes to autumn, Oden will be sold. In fact, I bought Oden tonight. It was delicious. Body was also warm. If you come to Japan in autumn and winter, please try to eat Oden (^ - ^)
I saw a piece of poster in Osaka underground mall last week. It was news to hold the G8 next year. Meeting will be held in Shima of Japan Ise. Ise-Shima's my favorite region. I have visited many times. The sea and the islands is waving the beautiful scene! In addition, the traditional culture of Japan remains well. Especially Ise Shrine is most important Shinto shrine worshiping the ancestor of the imperial family, and it is one of Japan's sacred space. In addition, it is possible to taste the delicious cuisine in the Ise Shima. Seafood such as lobster and oysters are particularly great. If you travel to Japan, Ise-Shima is also good! Ise-Shima is 「伊勢志摩」in Kanji (Chinese character).
The film has increasingly be viewing by the Internet worldwide. Cinema's required more efforts to call the customer. Cinema and movies officials in Japan have a variety of ideas. For example, if you look at the theater version animation in a movie theater, you can get movie theater benefits in many cases. The other day, as I wrote in the blog I saw the "Arpeggio of Blue Steel" in a movie theater. CAt that time, I've gotten a movie benefits. It is the colored paper of the photograph publication. Heroes are drawn.
Kyoto is a famous city in tourism, but in fact there is also a side of the industrial city. According to the statistics of 2011, Kyoto City in the municipality that is about 1700, is the 14th in industrial production value. Industrial products of 2.3 trillion yen in one year in Kyoto city were produced. Kyoto has a wide range of shipping from traditional crafts to high-tech products. Especially in recent years, product shipments often is mobile phone parts, such as multi-layer capacitors. High-performance smart phones, without the parts which were made in Kyoto, seems not be produced. Kyocera, Shimadzu Corporation, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Kyoto of companies such as Nidec, provide parts to the smartphone. The smartphone you're using might have a component that has been produced in Kyoto(^-^)
When I was reading a book of tourism relationship, I came across an interesting report. In Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, rice fields of landscape is popular with foreign tourists. The report says, its landscape is particularly to impress the people who come from Europe and Australia. In the neighborhood of paddy, rice is ripe. Even in a normal sight for the Japanese, travelers find attractive. I think it's a valuable perspective. I want to take a look at the landscape of wheat ripen (^_^)
Halloween event has become popular in the mall and shopping center of Japan. Ten years ago, Halloween was not so much popular. I think a factor that became the current situation is three. One is the effort of Japan's commercial capital. They thought the Halloween as an opportunity for sales. The second is the impact of globalization. And, the third is that Halloween looks fun. The third factor is the most important. I think so. Halloween in Japan is becoming in the event for children to look forward to. How do you think about ?
Speaking a popular sport in Japan, baseball to first, then soccer. The third I think is basketball. So in Japan, many sports comics are involved in these three sports. By the way, Rugby World Cup has been held in the UK from September. Japan was eliminated in the primary qualifying. However, since the Japan team has three wins, rugby of Japan has greatly flourished. Rugby World Cup in 2019 will be held in Japan. By that time, the popularity of rugby also might have risen from now.
Last time one of fun to travel in Japan by rail, I wrote about "Ekiben(lunches)". The other day, in going home from Tochigi Prefecture, I bought a "TORIMESHI (chicken rice)" in Utsunomiya Station. Whenever I go to Tochigi Prefecture, I buy this lunch box. This lunch is the best lunch that I recommend (^_^).
October 5th, 6th I was staying in Tochigi Prefecture. Today, I will return to Kyoto by rail. When the travelers travel in Japan by rail, fun thing is to eat a "Ekiben". "Ekiben" refers to a lunch that are sold at the station in Japanese. In a large station, various lunches have been sold. I bought a local lunch when starting the Kyoto Station. The lunch was full of Ohsaka's foods.Its name is "Naniwa Mansai "(full of Ohsaka's tastes). In the car of the Shinkansen I enjoyed it.! If you travel to Japan by rail, please enjoy all means "Ekiben" (^_^) The photo is "Ekiben" that I ate.

In Paris it will be held celebration of the culture of "Nuit Blanche" in early October. So Kyoto civil government has held the "Nuit Blanche Kyoto". French Embassy and Paris also have to cooperate.
