Japan on the web
Dec 20th, 2008 by Ad Blankestijn
Japan Inc has a fun article about how to eat your way around Kyoto for a full day. I miss sake here!
The National Diet Library has an English section on its website with for example a fine chapter called The Meiji and Taisho Areas in Photographs. In the “Column” section you will find elaborate descriptions of a handful of photographs and their location.
The Nichibun Institute (Japanese site) offers full versions of old books – including books on yokai, such as the top one, “Nightly Wanderings of a Hundred Ghosts.”
Saijo in East Hiroshima is an area with traditional sake breweries, comparable to Fushimi in Kyoto or Nada in Kobe. On most Sundays and next year also Saturdays (starting 10:30, until the end of February) JR-West (Japanese site) offers free guided tours of the breweries. Check with 082-421-2511.
Thank you for the link to The Meiji and Taisho Areas in Photographs from the National Diet Library site. I intend to come back visiting it several times. Best regards and special greetings for you!
