One Niseko Tower!

by Kazu

We've frequently visited this hotel "Niseko One Tower" in this two years after the pandemic of covid-19 swept the world because it got easier to book the room in this area after the pandemic at the reasonable cost. The quality of the hot spring is superb to heal our bodies and minds. 

We stayed in this condo. for two days at the price of 28,800 Japanese Yen without meals. The design and the coloring was very similar to that of our first condo. we owned just after our marriage.

That means we felt so comfortable to sit back and stretch our legs in this condo., remembering our honeymoon. With the top quality hot spring spa that healed our bodies and minds, we really refreshed, relaxed, energized and inspired so much. 

 

For the Soldiers who died in World War Ⅱ!

by Kazu

I was so filled up with the satisfaction to visit the battle field of World War Ⅱ and pray for the deceased Japanese soldiers who fought for their family, relatives and friends.   

A certain people who want to annihilate the bond of Japanese people and its society keep us Japanese from easing the pain of the deceased and praying for them.

But we carried out our mission to do that in Palau which people never forget the relationship with Japan including Hokkaido. With very poor weapons and gun powder, Japanese soldiers fought for the people in Palau and our nation to kick out the reign of "Divide and Rule" by the occidental countries.

 

Beach House of the President of Palau !

by Kazu

This is the Beach House owned by the President of the Republic of Palau at that time Mr. Tommy Remengesau. When he wanted to be relaxed and refreshed, he used this place. He needed the time to reset himself before contemplating so complicated matters.   

Many friends of the President got together and savor the lunch and the landscape. This is the lunch plate I picked up. Chatting with the President was so inspiring for me and other delegation members from the Hokkaido Legislative Assembly.

He had to fight against a variety of malice and negligence. And he had to build the nation again with the help of Japan and other countries. I thought I would be the great help for him. 

 

Party on the beach !

by Kazu

I drank the coconut juice as the starter of the lunch.The cabinet members including the cabinet secretary got together in the courtyard of the Presidential Beach House owned by the President (at that time) of the Republic of Palau His Excellency Mr. Tommy Remengesau.

He is at the center of this photo. His supporters and staff were around him. He might have hosted such kind of parties in this beach house area again and again. His supporters include the Japanese                                     

I was not sure if the villa was owned by the President (at that time) or the central government of Palau but anyway, it was so nice place to throw a party for the guests.

 

The President's Villa in Palau!

by Kazu

We had so nice lunch in the courtyard of the President's Beach House in Palau. The wind from the Pacific Ocean blew us so comfortably. The open space had all what males would like to have.  

Hosted by the President at that time Mr. Tommy Remengesau, we really enjoyed the grilled meat, fruits and beverages under the sunshine. It was a special occasion for us all. 

I prayed for the deceased in World War Ⅱ including Japanese soldiers who fought to protect their family and nation, in my heart. For their souls !

 

Invited by the President of the Republic of Palau !

by Kazu

After the courtesy call on the President of the Republic of Palau, we were invited to the lunch hosted by the President at that time, His Excellency Mr. Tommy Remengesau. 

His beach house was surrounded by the ocean and trees.

What a nice private beach he had. Precisely speaking, the area was not limit-off and no security guards were there.

The bones of the deceased of Japanese soldiers in World War Ⅱ may be on and around the island.  

 

Sincerely, I had been eager to pray for them and their families and do the memorial service. The blue ocean swallowed and raised so many lives. I would like to pray for them every day.

Many soldiers born in Hokkaido died there. 

 

Going around Mt. Yotei!

by Kazu

From the last autumn to this spring, we frequently went to the restaurant Black Wood Grill in MIRU International accommodations headquartered in Singapore. It has branch accommodations in Amami Ohshima and Kyoto as well.

We had earned the points coupon of this restaurant, a cheese burger was for free of charge on that day. We ordered Double Patty Double Cheese Hamburger as usual. The taste and quality worth is price 2,500 Japanese Yen but for the normal tourists, it may be a little bit too expensive. 

Just after a famous TV program introduced this restaurant and hotel, many people swamped the restaurant but it did not take a while to see the normal situation of the restaurant. With the staff who have a good command of English, the restaurant is still waiting for the tourists from overseas, not only Japanese tourists.

 

Triangle Market in Otaru City!

by Kazu

We visited "Triangle Market" in front of the railway station in the Port City Otaru. In Japanese, it is called "Sankaku Ichiba". The real estate of the market is shaped like triangle. Many seafood shops and eateries are there in the market. 

We chose these rice-bowls topped with sushi-grade sliced salmon and salmon roe of top quality.  As our breakfast, they entertained and satisfied us so much. 

The silver lid of soy sauce bottle reflected our faces and camera on it. The broth of the miso soup was superb and shook us up so nicely. I'd never been to the market before. I learned the new spot to take my friends from overseas to.

 

Spring to Winter!

by Kazu

Every time I saw the beautiful flowers, particularly beautiful cherry blossoms of white, pink and other colors, I felt the strong, sad, pure, ephemeral emotion of females or the souls of the deceased who died in World War Ⅱ.   

Cherry blossoms are so beautiful but they will wither soon. The greed on this globe ate up so many lives of people who did not have to die and were innocent. No limit on the greed of the super riches. They love to kill such beautiful flowers and blossoms in full flourish to earn the money.

Please give me the power to stop them carrying out their weird plan.     

 

Spring is heading north!

by Kazu

Other than the beautiful cherry blossoms, there are some fascinating Japanese traditional garden and building in this Imperial Park in Tokyo. The Imperial Palace was being refurbished but the garden could be seen with a certain distance. 

The Japanese bamboo garden made a comfortable shade that is good for having a rest. 

As a master of Japanese traditional tea ceremony, my wife seemed to be so intrigued by this tea ceremony house. It was not in service on that day. She will search the dates when the tea ceremony house is in service.
