Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

My Nokyo-cho now has two red seals on page 88 and three seals on page 23.

In addition, since my last visit, I have decided to visit the 20 sacred sites of Shikoku and the 36 sacred sites of Shikoku if they are on my walking route, so another sutra book has also increased. Therefore, since I go to Japan once a year for 20 days at most, it has become difficult for me to complete the third tour with a body that can walk. Well, I intend to make my body healthy enough to walk no matter how old I get. When I started the pilgrimage 10 years ago, I heard that the pages of the sutra books of those who had completed the pilgrimage more than 100 times were so red that you could not make out the letters of the seals. However, I realized that it would take years to make the rounds by car, and it would be impossible to do so on foot. Besides, it takes an average of 45 days for a round trip on foot, and the cost of food and lodging per day is enough to destroy a person's spirit.

That act itself is a 'medal' thing.

I also like the Tora-san series, but lately I just peek at them from the side while my wife, who also grew up in downtown Tokyo, watches them on her iPad.

Shibamata Teishakuten is located less than 10 minutes by car from where I used to live, so I have been there several times when I was young, which was long before the Tora-san movies came out. I used to go there several times when I was young, that is to say, long before the Tora-san movie came out. \The weed rice cakes made from the weeds you can pick on the banks of the Edogawa River there are very tasty.

I also went to Kokufudai ・ on the Chiba side where I used to play as a kid many 10 years ago, passing through Satomi Park and crossing the Edo River by "Yagiri no Ferry" to Teishaku-san.

I mentioned above that I went to "Satomi Park in Kokubudai", but looking at the Wiki again, I see that it mentions an air-raid shelter and a madhouse ( and a mental hospital ).

When I went to the park, it was not a beautifully maintained park with big flowerbeds, etc. like now, but just a forest ・ with caves ( and air-raid shelters ) like the one in the Wiki. I was afraid to go in there just to test my courage. Once I saw a huge centipede in there and jumped out with a "gaaah".

Also, it was about 10 years after the war, and there was the old army hospital building mentioned in the Wiki, but it no longer seemed to be in use. Still, I had seen the old building and heard that it was a "crazy hospital", so it was extra creepy like a haunted house with no one inside.

Also, when I moved to LA and visited a small electrical company in Gardena for sales, there was an older man who was almost the owner of the company. As we chatted, he told me that the war was almost over and he had been informed that an air raid by the U.S. military was about to hit the military airfield where he was stationed, and he was about to take off with a few men to evacuate the bombers and transport planes that were parked there.

However, as they started to glide off, they were bombed and the plane was unable to take off and crashed somewhere on the airfield. He was lucky not to die, but he suffered bruises all over his body, including his head, and later treatment showed that he was still mentally disturbed, and he ended up in the old army mental hospital there in Kokubudai. When I heard about this, for some reason or other, the conversation about that mental hospital grew very lively.

Other topics have talked about having all Japanese travelers undergo PCR testing when they return to Japan under this new type of corona situation, but when I searched YouTube, all I could find were reports of the situation around early April. However, I was looking for information on the current situation, which may have changed since the panic, and found the following.

I finally found a youtube of a person who returned to Japan just recently, on June 1. This person's story seems to be quite accurate and detailed. He also answers questions in the comments section in detail. Especially in the case of hotel segregation, it is quite different than what is told in this vivi.

Update for June 11

Also I'm not sure if it is possible to get home in a rental car, but from what I've seen on these youtubes, it seems 100% possible.

I'll write one topic on the pilgrimage

Otoko wa Tsuraiyo's next film was supposed to be "Tora Jiro Hanahanro".
His death in August 1996 made his 48th film
"Otoko wa Tsuraiyo ・ Tora-jiro Beni no Hana" his last work.

The 49th film was planned to be "Tora Jiro Hanahanro", but
Tora Jiro Hibiscus ・ scenes from the 11th, 15th, and 25th films were used in the Special Arc, and
the 49th film was completed as a Special Edition.

It was decided that it would be "Tora Jiro Hanahanro", in which he falls in love with "Yuko Tanaka" who plays the Madonna of the pilgrims.

The theme song was
