This is a temple in a great place.

This is not a temple visit but a thrilling mountain climb. There is no temple visit scene at all in this video.

From around 8:39/16:41, I too start to lose my footing.


There are two similar dangerous places of ascetic practice in the 88 temples of Shikoku.

One of them is "Sutejigatake Zensetsu," a 1.4 km (400 m) steep hill on the road from De-shaka-dera Temple (#73), and the other is "Wagashiyama," a 150 m (1,000 ft) climb up a rock face with chain-link stairs to its summit.

The other is "Hikiwari Zensetsu," a place for mountain asceticism, where the rocks of the mountain split apart, and if you let go of the chains while climbing, you will fall headlong.

its "just a weirdo".

I mean, I was born/raised in Tokyo, but I don't have relatives or friends in Tokyo who will let me stay for free anymore, and I am a "cheapskate" at heart, so I don't want to pay 10,000 yen a night at a hotel.

I am also a person who can sleep anywhere as long as there is a toilet and a place to sleep. However, the last time I stayed at K's Guest House, a guy who was sleeping in a bed less than 2 meters away from me woke me up in the middle of the night with his loud snoring. So this time I will give up this guest house and stay at a capsule hotel nearby.

The hotel is quite different from the previous capsule hotels, however, as the beds are almost entirely surrounded by a hard board to block out the sound of the neighbors. Please find photos of the rooms at the following address.

This topic is about travel to Japan, but here is my experience with the low-cost lodging and hotels that are being discussed here.
When I traveled alone from Japan to Korea for 3 days and 2 nights 18 years ago,
my first accommodation was what we now call Air B&B (？ I may be using the wrong term) and the guests were mostly young Japanese.
I had a bunk bed with two young girls and the atmosphere was nice, but the floor was covered with their loose hairs.
NHK TV was on, which was nice, but the room was filled with the smell of kimchi. I was so fed up with this that I decided to stay at a major hotel the next time I travel to Korea. I booked a tour and other things after reading Rurubu as an independent traveler, but the hotel was a dive. The tour was a good memory for me. I had a good time talking with a nice Japanese young man.
We went to the border of North Korea, and on the way there, I felt that I saw a dog-eat-dog hut in an instant by a sign, and I felt bad about it.
The best part was the Korean dance show in the casino hotel. I would travel there again just for that.
Maybe I can see the show in LA too (or maybe a Korean dance troupe visiting the US)
Also, the famous Chongleimun gate, which was burned down in an arson attack, was still there and I felt something powerful and indescribable
I don't feel anything when I see a castle in Japan.

Gonko,

It was interesting to read about your very interesting trip to Korea.

At the Tokyo guesthouse （ hostel ） where I stay inexpensively, most of the guests are from Canada, Europe or Australia, except me, and occasionally there are young people from Taiwan or Thailand mixed in. For some reason, I have not met anyone from the US. Oh, only last time there was a young lady who was an English teacher in Akita and she said she was going back to Chicago.

They are young and can sleep in that octopus-like bedroom without any problem. They are young and can sleep in those tako-rooms with both men and women in them. Anyway, I am the only elderly Japanese geezer with a shaved head, and I feel like I am the only one who can feel uncomfortable. Even though it is Japan.

I will definitely stay in a larger hotel next time I stay there because of that experience. It will be about 3 times more expensive. I will definitely stay in a hotel that is three times more expensive than the one I stayed in before, because it was run by my mom and dad and the kitchen was downstairs. I understand that in Korea they use a special refrigerator for kimchi. Another unforgettable experience with smells was when I stayed at a cheap hotel run by a couple near Nanko, Osaka.
12 years ago, on a holiday weekend at the end of September, all the hotels were full and we had no choice but to stay at a cheap hotel (the only one available)
The room smelled like someone had taken up residence who smoked. I used to smoke, so I am not a person who cares about it, but the smell of that room was depressing because of the oldness and the cigarette smell. But in the morning, on the contrary, an indescribable aroma wafted through the house. It was the aroma of hojicha (roasted green tea). I still cannot forget that aroma. I should have asked him to let me drink it even if I had to pay for it. I couldn't boil it myself, I couldn't smell it, I didn't have the confidence to do it. Besides, it is only when someone else does it for you that you can enjoy the taste.

If the free economy is not invaded, eventually price competition will start again and cheaper ones will appear.


But I miss the old days when Korean Air offered round trip "$300" or so.

＞ Now, Japan roundtrip ticket is $ 500~

which airline and what route is that ticket sold on?

I bought it for about 2 weeks in mid-May 2020 because Singapore Airlines had a Thanksgiving Holiday sale over Thanksgiving 2019 and LAX - NRT was $500 cheaper. The actual price was $489 for the desired dates.

However, due to this pandemic, there are no flights around the world, and Singapore Airlines said they would hold the amount I paid until the end of this month, but since they haven't said anything until today, I guess this $489 is going to be lost. Too bad.
********************************************************************

I wrote ******************************************************************** I just happened to find out yesterday that they were using a different email address to communicate with SQ for reservations, etc. I found by chance yesterday that I had been using a different e-mail address to communicate with SQ about reservations, etc.

2021/11/16
We are pleased to inform you that the deadline to use these flight credits has been extended by 6 months to 30 June 2022. All travel booked with flight credits must be rebooked and completed before this date.

So it seems that the 489 will be available until the end of June $. However, with the current corona situation in Japan, US citizens are not likely to be able to go to Japan in the first half of this year, so I don't want to go in mid-summer, and will probably go in September or later. By the way, is SQ's LAX - NRT flight flying now? Even if it is flying when I want to go back, tickets would be expensive. $ I'll have to add at least $ 1,000 for 489.

The airlines have been weakened by this corona, so I don't think there will be a "price war" in the future like there used to be.

Currently, even Japanese citizens are jailed for 6 days if they return to their own country. I received an e-mail from a person who was imprisoned in the dormitory of the Tax College, listing the contents of each meal and a list of useful items and groceries that can be purchased here in advance and brought home with them.

The menu changes daily, but one of the three meals is as follows.

Morning ： Ham ＆ Egg sandwich, sweet bread with dried fruit, Sunkist Vege juice

Lunch ： Meat and vegetable bowl, instant miso soup, packaged tea

Night ： （ Cold （ Room temperature ） ） Typical convenience store bento （ White rice, croquette, boiled fish, pickles, etc ）, instant miso soup, packaged tea

The room is a typical business hotel single room. There is a hot water pot, but no microwave oven, so basically they eat rice as "cold rice". If you have the guts, you may want to bring a small microwave oven with you. Also, since there is no access to vending machines outside the rooms, we recommend that you bring some canned beer and coke with you. However, drinking is prohibited, so when you are released, you should crush the cans and take them out with the rest of your baggage. The WiFi is working, so if you have a laptop or an iPad, you can kill a lot of time. Televisions are available in the rooms.

The airline was Pan-American Airline, the world's leading international airline, and that was the first and last time I flew Pan-Am.

The only jets that could fly long distances in those days were the four-engine turbojet Douglas DC-8 or the Boeing 707, and the four-engine turbojet engines emitted an annoying "squealing" sound. The cabin was small, with 3+3 seats side by side in one aisle, I think. Today, however, the aircraft has two fan-jet engines, a larger cabin, and can fly between continents without refueling during the flight. Times have changed dramatically.

The weather here in LAX is fine, but in the winter in places like JFK in NY, the outside temperature can be below freezing, and when the weather is blowing snow, or even at night, the pilot who is about to fly will be physically injured. The morning I left JFK in 1971, the temperature was 18℉.

I know you work for an airline, but do you go to LAX (Tom Bradley)? If so, I would be very interested to know if the pilots go down to the ground while you are in the cockpit checking things out, or if you do it before you go into the cockpit. Some pilots may say, "I'm not in the mood today," and not get off the ground. Also, since "there is more than one pilot", do they ever have the first officer do it? Furthermore, in the B747 era, did they have the third engineer do it?

International Airport (1985) ABC Movie Special | With Commercials

I had seen the first couple of Hollywood movies in the "Airport" series that started coming out around 1970 but I had not seen this 1985 version. This is interesting, but it is not a direct transfer of the movie, but rather a low-resolution recording of an ABC broadcast on channel 7 in LA, so the picture is rather lame and the commercials are included without cuts. I was nostalgic for the scenes in LAX, as they frequently showed the inside of the airport at that time. Also, the women's fashion is the same as in the TV movie "Charlie's Angels" (TV Series 1976-1981), which reminds me of those days.

Ototsan,

I know from when I started the pilgrimage that the vajra can be used in place of a stupa, but even now there are still Jizo-san here and there along the pilgrimage route that were built to mourn pilgrims who must have fallen ill in the Edo period. I too would like to be greedy and have it be a ♪ stone Jizo that will last forever ～ ♪.


Happy Halloween, Mr.

My wife said that people wearing those authentic gas masks have shown up at Daiso and Costco in our area. But I think it is excessive to be that cautious, including N95 masks. I have heard that micron-sized corona bacteria cannot survive for long in the air by itself. I understand that at almost 99.9% the bacteria can only live in water or other visible size, and that it is mostly released as droplets from sneezing or loudly speaking mouths, as long as it does not enter through the mouth ・ nose or eyes. Rebuttal, welcome.


Various,

It is expensive everywhere to make a negative certificate for Japanese approval. Free tests are available at the roadside in town, and I got a free test kit too. Just "doctor's signature required" and the doctors rip you off. It's a tough place to be. If anyone knows how to do it cheaply, please let "Various" know.

As usual John Doe mentioned in the following Y/T, those who can now enter Japan have been quarantined for several days so far, but it seems that this March they will be released without charge if they pass three vaccine certifications and a PCR test at the airport. There was no word on whether public transportation from the airport would be available.

By the way, from now on foreign nationals I have heard that from now on, foreign nationals will need a visa even to enter the country as tourists, but I have no information on how to obtain such a visa. There is nothing on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or the U.S. Consulate General of Japan website. Is this matter still under discussion? Even if tourist visas were to be distributed, it would be impractical for individuals to go to the consulate to apply for/obtain one, so perhaps it would be something like ESTA, which is issued by the US consulate in Japan. If all the procedures could be done online, that would be great.

#2876 Non-kinman,

At one time my wife and I used the JR Pass to travel all over Japan.

We went to Hakodate in Hokkaido, took a ferry to Oma in Aomori, the northernmost point of Honshu, and then went to Towadako, Lake Tazawa in Akita, and Nyuto Onsenkyo, the hot spring resort at the end of the lake. There were many trips to hot spring resorts.

With that frustration of giving up so easily, I started the next year to do a "break-off" once a year to go around a part of Shikoku, but in the end I got completely stuck on this one. That too was cut off here in Corona in 2019 and has come to an end now. If I can go to Japan again, I plan to walk 270 km from Hiyosa town in Tokushima prefecture to Susaki city in Kochi prefecture by this foot for about 10 days. Yes, I will just walk at a slow pace all day long.

Still, walking all day long during the day requires a lot of physical strength, and I have been working out by walking and hiking, though not every day for about 345 days when I am not in Japan.

While 63 liters is allowed, my backpack is only 24 liters, and I will be traveling to Japan with only three items: a 5-liter all-purpose shoulder bag that is allowed as a handbag, and a Sugagasa hat, which is considered a hat. I will not be bringing any souvenirs. Therefore, I don't have to wait at the turnstile for my checked luggage to come out after arrival, and I can go directly to the customs checkpoint after immigration.

However, before this Corona, we used to have to stand in the immigration line for almost 2 hours because of the large number of inbound groups.

Ototto,


Ojuku （ Onjuku ） sounds familiar.

I was born in the eastern outskirts of Tokyo, so Chiba Prefecture is within my "territory". ^^; Therefore, the words "Oyado" and "Awa Kamogawa" sound nostalgic to me, having heard them since childhood.

Also, the southern half of the Boso Peninsula has long been called "Kamisou （ Kazusa ）" and the northern half "Shimousa （ Shimomousa ）", and there is a station called "Shimousa Nakayama" a few stations away as you enter Chiba Prefecture after crossing the Edo River on the Keisei Electric Railway line that goes to Narita Airport. When I was a child, I used to think the name "Shimousa-Nakayama" in hiragana, which is a very long name. Furthermore, as I think I mentioned before, the border between Tokyo and Chiba used to be the Sumida River, not the Edo River. Also, the Sobu Line connecting Musashi no Kuni and So no Kuni was not connected across the country, and the last station on the So no Kuni side was named "Ryogoku".

Speaking of Ryogoku, there is the Ryogoku Kokugikan for Sumo tournaments, which had existed before the war but was taken over by the US military after the war. When I was in elementary school, I used to get off at the Ryogoku station and walk across the bridge to the Kokugikan to watch sumo. Back then, the yokozuna were Chiyonoyama and Kagamisato, and the ozeki were Tochinishiki and Wakanohana.

have a well organized itinerary.

In my case, I think it would be possible if HIS and other companies in this area arrange all transportation and lodging itineraries for me.


In other words, I think that I will not be allowed to enter Japan if I make a reservation with an airline on my own, and

It is still at the stage where Mr. Kishida has only mentioned it in passing, and no concrete guidelines have been announced since then, so there is a lot of speculation on the Internet. Maybe in June, we will hear something concrete.

Maybe we will hear something concrete in June, but even so, a full opening on a specific date is not feasible.

Therefore, even if an individual makes reservations for airlines and hotels, creates a tour schedule, and submits the plan, the number of such reservations is astronomical and the Japanese government will not be able to handle it. Therefore, I have a feeling that they will start by processing the applications of tour companies as described above.

I also started a walking pilgrimage in Shikoku at the end of July 2010, but there is a huge "chuzu" (a small island in the middle of a field) almost entirely on the Yoshino River in Shikoku, one of the three most violent rivers in Japan, and the paved pilgrimage route cuts right through the middle of it, and with the clear weather, I was walking on a huge iron plate grill. The weather was clear and sunny, and we were walking on a giant teppan grill. It would have been very different if the humidity had been dry like it is here.

Moreover, the package tours starting June 1 are only for travelers with passports from the above four countries, and the tours must be accompanied by a tour conductor at all times from entry to sightseeing spots and departure from Japan. Furthermore, the tour schedule must be approved in advance by the Japanese government.

#3044 Showa Ototsan

Ototsan, I had the pleasure of watching your wonderful pilgrimage film.

However, for those of us who have actually walked on a pilgrimage, it's a bit of a rush. However, I was not surprised at the scene of a couple wearing a Sugahasa hat and carrying a cane behind them, as I have seen many pilgrims walking on the actual pilgrimage route without a backpack. I was not the only one who saw the two backs of the two women with their backpacks on the walking pilgrimage route. Maybe I am overly concerned about it.

At 31:54/1:06:30, a waterfall in the mountains appears, but this is the location of the waterfall ceremony at Konjiji Temple (今治寺\, an extra temple located between Yakeyama Temple (No. 13) and Dainichi Temple (No. 14). It is said that after heavy rain, the volume of the waterfall is too much and it is dangerous to stand under the waterfall. I visited Imabariji Temple last time but could not stop by this waterfall due to lack of time.

Back a bit, the parapetless submarine bridge from 15:38/1:06:30 (or sunken bridge in Shimanto River in Kochi) is at least not the Shikoku Saburo ・ parapetless Onoshima submarine bridge over the Yoshino River ・ Kawajima submarine bridge on the pilgrim road. This must have been a submarine bridge somewhere suitable for photography. The reason why this bridge has no parapet is that in the old days, bridging technology was poor and there were no strong materials available, so only low bridges could be built. Even if the parapets were built for safety, when the river swelled due to typhoons, the amount and force of the water would cause the parapets to break and wash away the bridge. Therefore, I feel fear every time I cross such a bridge.

The following route is the cheapest at 3,340 yen, although you have to change planes 4 times and walk each time.

The other route is to take a bus from the airport to "Namba" and then take the next bus to Tokushima station.
It takes about 4 hours and costs about 1,000 yen more than the ferry route.

If you want to save money, you should take more transfers and walk. It is also "fun".

However, it is strange that there is not much difference
between the method using train transfers and ferries and the simple method using only one train ＋ and one bus. Is Shikoku that "remote"?

Believing in Mr. Kishida's Aggressive attempt to open a port in Japan, I tried to make a reservation for about 2 weeks in mid-September from ANA's website, hoping that US citizens can also travel to Japan in this September.

Since I am a member of a frequent flyer club, although neither JAL nor ANA accumulates any, I proceeded to make a reservation on ANA's website. I had to wait in line for "foreigners" at the immigration counter at Narita Airport before Corona, but the number of inbound passengers was so large that I had to stand and wait for 2 or 3 hours at least.

I learned my lesson and next time I will not be inundated with inbound passengers, so I will fly ANA NH105 ・ arriving at Tokyo Haneda International Airport around 5:00 in the morning, which is very early. $ 764 ≪).

The basic means of transportation to visit the 88 temples of Shikoku include walking, bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, and buses for groups.

There is no difference in the pilgrimage by any of these means, but only walking and bicycling require the pilgrim to use his/her own physical strength to visit the 88 temples. In addition, especially when walking, there is frequent contact with local people, and since the pilgrimage to Shikoku began, there are many opportunities to receive the warm hospitality of the local people. Moreover, although most people walk alone, when you meet other walkers along the way, you will form a connection with them that is greater than that of family or close friends, and you will begin a conversation that has no barriers at all.

I am a yakuza pilgrim, and while I do cherish my visits to temples, I also enjoy the spirituality and relaxation from the mountains, rivers, plants, and trees of Shikoku and meeting the local people as I walk from temple to temple.

when countless columns of foot soldiers were marching across the inland desert. When they crossed the deserts of the interior, there was always a drum and fife band at the head of the column, leading the line of soldiers while dancing

as shown in this video. The word "kobu" is said to have been born at that time, and

There is a saying about the Awa Odori dance in Tokushima Prefecture ）, a country in Shikoku,

"Dancing fools and watching fools, if they are the same fools, dancing is no good...,"

but I, an Edokko, never liked this saying, somehow, without meaning it. I never liked it. However, after more than 10 years of ・ pilgrimage ・ walking pilgrimage in Shikoku, I gradually came to accept "Awa Odori" and stayed at a guest house in the town of Aratano, where the No. 22 Byodoji Temple is located, on my last walking pilgrimage in 2019. As it happened, that night was the summer festival of the town of Shinno, and after dinner we went out to the festival of that town.

Fireworks were going off in the night sky, and in the center of the town, the streets were lined with food stalls （ and it looked like a fair ）. I am completely warped back to my childhood about 70 years ago. In the central square, an unknown singer was singing a song over a loudspeaker, and then four women in Awa Odori costume started dancing the Awa Odori dance to the sound of a recorded flute, drums and bells. They were also participating in the "Renco" Awa Odori dance in the center of Tokushima City, and their dancing was on the board. Since then, I have become a fan of Awa Odori too. The Awa Odori festival held in the center of the city every year before Corona was a great success, but last week's Awa Odori, which was held for the first time after Corona, was lackluster. I guess it can't be helped.
