I came across a woman walking her meerkat at Harajuku, Tokyo. People who did not expected to meet this beastie in the middle of the capital were stopping by to look at it and took pictures of the adorable superstar.

I bumped into Rilakkuma, one of the most popular characters in Japan, at a shopping mall near my place on a Sunday afternoon. Rilakkuma is a combination of two words: relax in Japanese pronunciation and kuma, the Japanese word for bear. He (or she?) was surrounded by many shoppers offering them fun and relaxation.

Diver City Tokyo Plaza, a brand new commercial complex which opened this April in Odaiba, Tokyo, houses over 150 shops and a few entertainment facilities. You can get these Hello Kitty shaped baked cakes at Hello Kitty Japan by Sanrio, one of the shops. Too cute to eat? Come on, it would be a waste not to try them. They taste wonderful and are cute!

From November to December, many lucky rake fairs are held at shrines around Japan. People visit a fair to get a decorated bamboo rake, which, it is said, has a charm to gather luck. Tori-no-Ichi, that takes place at Otori Shrine in Asakusa, Tokyo in November, is the most well-known rake fair.
There is also a large fair called Okame-Ichi in my city Kawaguchi. It is held at Kawaguchi Shrine, the guardian god of the city, every December 15th. The street, leading you from Kawaguchi Station to the shrine, is lined by 600 food stalls and entertainment stalls, while the precincts of the shrine are dominated by rake stalls. The area bustles with numerous people exploring stalls, buying a rake and worshiping at the shrine on the winter day.

In Japanese Buddhism, people traditionally visit their ancestral graves around equinox days. They place flowers, foods and drinks that the deceased used to love, offer incense sticks at the tombstone and tell her/him how they have been doing these days.
I also visited my fathers grave on the autumnal equinox day with my mother, sister and her kids. We bumped into my cousin in front of the tombstone. My father would have been glad to listen to our stories and to meet his grandkids, whom he had never seen during his life.

He was born and raised in a coastal town. He has been living his life with surfing and loving it since he was a kid. It has been a part of his life rather than a leisure activity.
As he grew to adulthood, he began to travel around the world for waves. However, he says he still loves the waves on the shore of his hometown.
On this day, he got up at 4 oclock and entered the sea to surf with the sunrise, as usual.

If you would like to feel the distinctive atmosphere of Asia during your stay in Tokyo, Ameyoko, a market street along the Yamanote line tracks, would be the right place to visit. The street is dominated by small shops selling various Japanese foods and other Asian foods, clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. Diligent shopmen in their business sell things at reasonable prices there. The bustling scene would be what the word Asia reminds you of. It was a place without morals when it was serving as a black market in the years following World War 2, but nowadays it is one of popular tourist attractions in Tokyo. No need to worry about being shot by a gun.

Kyu Asakura House, located near Daikanyama Station, Shibuya, is one of a handful of traditional Japanese-style houses in central Tokyo. It was built in 1919 by Torajiro Asakura, the chairperson of the Tokyo Council.
The quaint house is designated as a nationally important cultural property and is now managed by Shibuya Ward. You can visit and see a part of its buildings and its stunning garden. It is the right place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.
