Tokyo Sky Tree & Sumida Aquarium

These are the pictures taken at Tokyo Sky Tree, one of the popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo. Various kinds of Christmas trees can be found here and there in the building. On the fourth floor, especially, Christmas market is opened and a lofty Christmas tree made of colorful flowers is standing straight to the sky. Please do not miss this scenery.

In the Tokyo Sky Tree, there is Sumida Aquarium where there are many kinds of rare and/or beautiful fish and animals. As shown in the pictures above, gold fish swimming in the aquarium with blue sheet at the bottom bring a settled Japanese atmosphere and must catch visitors' eyes.

There is a huge aquarium where a lot of fish including sharks, ray fish and morays are swimming slowly. This huge aquarium is my favorite. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it.
Sumida Aquarium is worth to be seen.

Memory in Summer (Japanese traditional song in summer)

I hope someone likes this song.

Nagoya Castle Honmaru Palace

These are pictures taken at Honmaru Palace of Nagoya castle.

Honmaru Palace was designated as a national treasure in 1930 but unfortunately most part of it was burned during an air raid in 1945.

Then reconstruction of the palace was started in 2009 and was finished this June at last.

My impression for the brand-new palace is "gorgeous and luxurious".

Any part of the palace coming into my eyes is in gold.

Pictures on partitions are precisely duplicated as they were, by analyzing the pigments and the materials scientifically and by making clear the traditional techniques of drawings in Edo era.

The pictures were originally drawn by painters of Kano stream who were so popular in the era.

I'm very impressed by imaging I'm watching the same things that lords watched at that time.

If you have a chance to visit Nagoya, don't miss Honmaru Palace of Nagoya Castle.

Memory in Summer (Song)

Natsu no omoide (Memory in Summer)

Natsu no omoide (Memory in Summer) is one of Japanese children's songs which have been sung for long time. I hope anyone who listens to the song come to like it.
