Konnichi wa! House & Hotel Magazine features beautiful architecture in Japan. Take a look at this japanese house in Kyobate.
Yes, you know, we love Japan, the great archipelago of 7000 islands. As you know the largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku and they accounting more than 90% of Japan’s land area. You will find lots of nice locations and lots of nice people, 127 million people. Wow, the greater Tokyo area, which includes Tokyo capital and several other prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.
Besides this have a rest, we found this lovely home made for a family with kids around a Japanese-style mezzanine with tatami flooring.
Climb up on the first floor living/dining/kitchen area, and take a look of both that room and the second floor childrenfs rooms, the mezzanine serves to link the various spaces within the home.
If you travel via Tokyo, it would be a shame to come to Tokyo and not take a walk across the famous intersection outside Shibuya Station. On sunny afternoons or clear evenings, the surrounding area is packed with shoppers, students, young couples and commuters. When the lights turn red at this busy junction, they all turn red at the same time in every direction. Traffic stops completely and pedestrians surge into the intersection from all sides, like marbles spilling out of a box. You can observe this moment of organized chaos from the second-story window of the Starbucks in the Tsutaya building on the crossing’s north side.
After experiencing the “scramble,” follow the trendy teens into Shibuya 109, a big shiny mall with more than 100 boutiques, for a look at the latest in disposable fashion. Or duck back into Shibuya Station and down to the bustling Tokyu Food Show for an elegant array of gourmet eats and an education in local tastes: grilled eel, fried pork, tiny fish salad, octopus on a stick, seafood-and-rice seaweed wraps and much more. The prepared dishes and grocery items are all sold from immaculate counters amid a chorus of “Irashaimasen!” (“Welcome!”). There are aisles full of beautifully packaged treats — rice crackers, mochi cakes, jellied confections — but the pickle counter is my favorite.
