Hanabi 2015

It's not a surprise : in August, one should admire the Japanese fireworks. This year, I was invited to watch the "fire flowers" from Edogawabashi park, in Eastern Tokyo. After the Atami fireworks on the sea, and, the Nagano fireworks in the mountains,...

50 shades of sakura

By day, the yearly Japanese cherry blossom phenomenon makes Tokyo look pure as snow. The white flowers are the city's wedding dress. But at dawn, you can enjoy the pink, orange, blue and gold shades of the mighty sakura. Ready for the most voluptuous...

Tokyo Champagne

Tokyo Tower bu night : a familiar view. But it's different to spot the Red Queen from the street, between two buildings, and to admire it from the elegant lounge bar of Prince Park Hotel Shibakoen. Especially with a glass of champagne in your hand. Time...

Two days before Christmas

In the mood for some winter magic? Caretta Shiodome is always a good address for Christmas illuminations. This year, I found it particularly beautiful. Welcome to a blue frozen landscape you can enjoy for free - just make sure to come during weekdays...

Aquarium Art - Nihonbashi, Tokyo

Aquarium made Art : that's the concept of this amazing exhibition at Coredo Building in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Moving, multicolor art made of water and light, and thousands of living goldfish. Remember this mesmeric moment in Disney's Fantasia, when you found...

Odaiba Ombré Variation

Sometimes, when you need to remember why you settled so far from your roots, there's nothing like a beautiful skyline. In Tokyo, the best spot to contemplate the glow of the city in the fading sunshine remains Odaiba's beach. Admire the gracious arch...

Charity cruise for Tohoku

Believe it or not, but so far I didn't have the chance to wear my yukata this year. What's the point to live in Japan if it's not to wear a beautiful yukata in summer ? Fortunately, IMA and AFJ proposed to raise money for Tohoku having fun on a big boat...

Hong-Kong, baby !

I have two homes: France and Japan. As I live in the second one, all my holidays are generally used to get back to the first. As a result, since I move to Tokyo three years ago, I had never put a toe on another Asian shore. But friendship is a powerful...

Miyajima, Hiroshima - the Floating World

Hiroshima: my second home in Japan. I hadn't visited Miyajima since 2007, and I found the place as majestuous and peaceful as I remembered. Deers, pine trees, stones and red wood reflecting in the water. The Floating World Mysteries of the Forest Miyajima...
