When I read various posts and articles on the web, or when I reply to e-mails from readers, I sometimes realize that a lot of people are confused as to what each term from the title really means, and how they’re different or similar. So, today, I’m making this glossary […]

When you visit Naoshima and all the electric bike are rented out and you don’t have the energy or the time to walk around the island (come on, it’s really only half of the island), you will probably ride one of these two busses: Well, I have […]
As the title says, I wish you all a very happy new year 2019. Yesterday, on the actual New Year’s Day, I did my favorite activity on that day, that is I stayed at home. Meanwhile, most Japanese people tend to go to the shrine for Hatsumode (literally “the first […]
