江戸のかほり - Like "Edo” period - old and good ambiance

お江戸のかほりがする町(街というより町と書きたいですね)
を散策するのは、楽しいもの。
懐かしいだけじゃない良さを感じたり
脈々と続く伝統の力強さ、
粋と心意気
そういうものが一層、素直にいいなー、と思う今日この頃です。

When walking in towns where we can find something old and good which have been sustained from "Edo"period, we feel relaxed and the moments very special, as the old things don't just make us feel nostalgic but also sometimes realize they are actually modern still now.
I'm impressed by strangeness of traditions and skills with quintessences and spirits from generation to generation since "Edo" period.

 Lunch @ Kikko in Askusa - My friend arranged for me to celebrate my B.D.
 We enjoyed the lunch listening to live Shamisen music.



☆谷根千散歩 - 谷根千は、やっぱり楽し、素敵♪でも11時間も話し疲れた~
 I love "Yanesen", a typical downtown area in Tokyo with many shrines and temples.
   You will surely have chances to meet lovely cats.

☆佐原 - 11/3 水郷の町へ秋の小旅行。舟で川下りを楽しみました。香取神宮もお参り。
I  made a short trip with my friend to a small beautiful town, Sawara on November 3rd. We enjoyed French lunch in a traditional Japanese house on the river side and also going down the river running through that small town.  We also went to Katori Jingu Shrine and it's really priceless time for both of us.
