Spiritual Saturday
Sometimes you feel like you need to find your path to heavens. You need spiritual food. If it happens to you in Tokyo, I suggest you to go to Gokokuji area (Bunkyo-ku, Yurakucho line) and raise your spirits.
First stop : Saint Mary Cathedral, designed by Tange Kenzo. A springboard to the sky !
Second stop :Gokokuji, one of the very few temples that were not destroyed by the bombings during WW2. Spirits are among us...
See you in Heaven !
SNOW QUEEN
Tokyo Snow White
There is nothing magical like snow. It's like it was purifying the world, leaving it brand new, untouched, ready for everything. It cleans your soul too, making you believe in love again. The silence of snow... lets you hear your own heartbeat.
On the way back home
Rainy week-end in Tokyo
The winter season is so sunny in Japan that it is always suprising when the rain comes back at the end of January. We even had snow on Friday. I was going to have a nice walk in Bunkyo-ku, but I could not move from home because of the cold, rainy, awful weather. So : what should you do in Tokyo when it rains and you already visited all the interesting museums ? The answer is easy : onsen and shopping.
Shimizuyu-onsen, 5 min. from Musashi-Koyama station (Tokyu Meguro Line)
Entry : 450 yen (bring your towel and soap)
Made in Japan shoes, Musashi-Koyama Arcade
1500 yen (in sales)
Wish you al a nice grey Sunday !
My world
For some reasons I love living in the XXIth Century. For example, you can get this kind of map for free. It shows my world, based on my friend list on Facebook. Japan and Europe (all Europe ! Thanks ETP !) are at the top of Noemi's Friendly Lands shortlist; as well as North America and East Africa, where I have never been...
It's a small world after all
Great, isn't it ?
