JAPAN Land of Rising Sun! JAPAN Land of Rising Sun! As said by the Author: e were on a short getaway to the farthest east before the east Graphic Novels are a W religion, coffee is my becomes the west... People say that Japan is an expensive place to travel elixir, travel is a passion to but lo and behold, what we discovered when we got there is difficult to and travel logging, describe in words… all I can say is ‘expensive’ is a relative term, photography and especially when you add the ‘value’ and ‘uniqueness of experience’ cycling keeps me busy filters! over the weekends! Day 1 - Tokyo bound The UA flight 78 from Hong Kong wasn't as bad as I had imagined. The hostesses would definitely give our domestic airline ‘aunties’ a run for Contact Details: their money but the flight in itself was ok. Part of our Day 1 was spend in Harshal Shah transit and check-ins but we still had enough time for our maiden evening [email protected] in Ginza, which is where we were staying while in Tokyo. We had booked The Park Hotel and got ourselves perched on the 29th floor overlooking River Sumida and the Tsukiji Market along with views of Tokyo tower and the Shimbashi station. Articles on Lazysuitcase: In the evening we strolled the streets of Ginza and Higashi Ginza areas, Japan ran into a huge 7 storey toy store(we were def coming back here), some fancy stores equivalent of 5th avenue and other local shops. Dinner was at a vegan joint that was most recommended by Lonely Planet - Cafe Ain Soph. Very quaint and very homely. Day 2 & 3: Kyoto In the morning took the Nozomi Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo station to Kyoto. It flies with an average of 200 km/hr and takes about 2 hours 15 minutes. With views of Mt. Fuji-San and some of the best ham, tomato, cucumber and cheese sandwich I've ever had, it was indeed a pleasurable ride. The Japs are indeed very hospitable and the silence in the train was just too much! Can't imagine what would happen to a Japanese tourist in an Indian local. Worse if a Kesri tour group turned up in a Shinkansen! それは殺人だろう Sore wa satsujindarou.... We stayed at the Citadines hotel, a short walk from the main Kyoto railway station in Gojo. The skyline is dotted with shrines, the station tower at the south and the Higashiyama mountain range to the east. Our day was filled with visiting numerous shrines and temples and if I list them out (which I will for my own sake) they'll sound like some chant. Shorenin, Chion in, Kodaiji, Kiyomizu dera, Yasaka Jinja - all in Sign-up with us on the south Higashiyama area. We also walked through the Maruyama www.lazysuitcase.com & enjoy more coverage Koen Park which was awesome! Two of the prettiest streets in the city on New Zealand and Sannen zaka and Ninen zaka were on our list and we meandered our other destinations: evening in the Gion area, east of the River Kamo. Ate some street food around the temples to keep us going, highlight of which was the City Tips Tokoyaki (fried balls of baby octopus). Dinner was at a place which Hotels didn't have an English name, neither on its entrance, menu or for that Flights matter the cash receipt. So not much help there but some cold sake, Car Rentals sapporo beer and tempura was the fancy fare! This inn we stumbled into Activities was no more than the size of our living room and run by this very sweet Travel Diaries couple who knew how to host us a wee bit better than they knew sign Travel Packages language! Hidden Gems Tips & Tricks Join us on Social Media and enjoy what fellow travelers are discussing: Just Click below! www.facebook.com/lazysuitca se Bonsai Garden, Kyoto Another day of sights to be seen and the day started with an interesting set... Nanzenji and Eikan-do temples which were designed as retirement villa's for Emperor Kameyama but were dedicated as Zen temples on his www.twitter.com/lazysuitcase death in 1291. Most of the Japanese shrines are made of wood thus over decades they are burnt or broken down to rebuild replicas. Decaying wood troubles I guess!! The best part of the day was the walk on the PATH OF PHILOSOPHY... 30 minutes of contemplative strolling on a traffic free route next to a canal lined with cherry trees all the way up to the Ginkaku-ji www.linkedin.com/company/l Temple. When hunger struck again, we had a fine Japanese meal of miso azysuitcase soup, mackerel sushi and pickles at a place called Omen. Prita got some rice and veggies. Next on our itinerary was a ride to the most visited attraction in Kyoto: Kinkaku-ji The GOLDEN TEMPLE. Another retirement villa converted to a temple for shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. This awesome golden structure is made with 3 styles of architecture (Shinden, Buke, Chinese Zenshu-Butsuden). Overall Kinkaku is representative of Muromachi period architecture. This was followed by a ride to NIJO CASTLE, which is also a UNESCO world heritage site built in 1603 as the official Kyoto residence of the 1st Tokugawa shogun, IEYASU of early EDO period architecture. Last sightseeing spot was in Arashiyama area near the Tenryu-ji temple. Here we spent maximum time in the main bamboo groove, the famous dead ringer for the bamboo forest in the movie Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. We then started our long ride back to Shijo Teramachi near Nishiki Market where we wanted to dine at the 'Nepali restaurant': Yak and Yeti. What a fine spicy meal just to balance out all the Japanese fare from the rest of the day... If an Indian, You know what I mean! The Gurkha cook and the matron were a class act! We polished every morsel on the plate and we have some pictures to tell the same. どうもありがとうございました Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita Day 4@ the land of the rising sun. With sunrise in bright and sunny Kyoto and a Shinkansen to catch ,we dashed out to see one more temple: Nishi Honganji which is the largest reconstructed temple of the Jodo Shin-Shu school of Buddhism. Our stay at the Citadines was sterling. At the station before boarding for Tokyo, we did the trip down the longest set of open air escalators (11 floors from top to bottom) all in 1 direction. The station overlooks the Kyoto tower from where the views of the flat plains of this region are astounding. I must admit that the Shinkansen is truly a better way to travel than air. Fast, punctual, cleaner than any mode of transport I've been in. And the silence bereft of all the gujjus's. Oh! What peace and some quiet lunch on the train. Back at the Park hotel, we spent rest of the evening meandering in Roppongi. One of my most favored areas of Tokyo, Roppongi houses the newly formed Roppongi hills area which made its debut in 2003 and the Tokyo tower - a slightly taller replica of the Eiffel tower. A knack to be inspired by all international monuments, I was sure the Japs would have a replica of The Taj Mahal for sure. I just had to look at the right place. Starbucks (to my surprise) Vanilla latte and Mocha equipped, we explored the labyrinth of Roppongi Hills, followed by a 2 km walk to see Tokyo tower and get some views of the city landscape from the main observatory. Headed back to Roppongi for an unique dining experience of vegetable sushi (oh yes I did, and do I recommend it above all I've eaten!)... The place is called vegetable sushi potager (how fancy?). After searching high and low for it (quite literally), we found it just around the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. This new restaurant (www.sushi-potager.com/en) set up only 15 months back tops the chart on concept food. Our French host Mathieu gave us a detailed explanation of each dish served up right at the teppanyaki style table that we were perched at. Day 5: Still on the Japanese cultural tour, we started the day in the Imperial palace grounds. A pleasant walk through the gardens across the moat and sighting. The royal family still resides in the palace, so only a small section is left open for public to explore. Few of the highlights were the guard houses where over 100 samurai stood guarding the palace grounds (we of course weren't as lucky to see a samurai sword), a watch tower where one could get a view of Mt. Fuji-San (now blocked by numerous tall buildings) and a Garden where Iris flowers were in bloom (borrowed from the nearby Meiji jingo). That pretty much sums up the IMPERIAL palace. Imperial Palace We briefly explored the Ueno park and then spent our afternoon at the largest and most visited shrine SensoJi amongst thousands of tourists, followed by a serene cruise from Asakusa to the beautiful Hama Rikyu Teien (created in 1654) which is known as the Detached palace garden. This garden has 2 large ponds which were used for Duck Hunting in the early 1800s. In 1935, they made a grave to console the spirits of the ducks that were killed (I have nothing to comment!) The evening was spent watching thousands cross the "Shibuya" main crossing from a cozy Starbucks just opposite the Shibuya station.

    KYOTO callingBy Cassidy Hazelbaker Today Tokyo is Japan’s vibrant and bustling capital, but for more than one thousand years, Kyoto was the 174 country’s imperial capital. The city remains the cultural 175 heart of contemporary Japan, and its residents are fiercely proud of their city’s history and traditions. Cassidy Hazelbaker reports.

  • City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous
    City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous What’s Your City’s Claim to Fame? By Jeff Coy, ISHC Paris was the world’s most-visited city in 2010 with 15.1 million international arrivals, according to the World Tourism Organization, followed by London and New York City. What’s Paris got that your city hasn’t got? Is it the nickname the City of Love? Is it the slogan Liberty Started Here or the idea that Life is an Art with images of famous artists like Monet, Modigliani, Dali, da Vinci, Picasso, Braque and Klee? Is it the Cole Porter song, I Love Paris, sung by Frank Sinatra? Is it the movie American in Paris? Is it the fact that Paris has numerous architectural icons that sum up the city’s identity and image --- the Eiffel Tower, Arch of Triumph, Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and Palace of Versailles? Do cities need icons, songs, slogans and nicknames to become famous? Or do famous cities simply attract more attention from architects, artists, wordsmiths and ad agencies? Certainly, having an architectural icon, such as the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, put Paris on the world map. But all these other things were added to make the identity and image. As a result, international tourists spent $46.3 billion in France in 2010. What’s your city’s claim to fame? Does it have an architectural icon? World’s Most Famous City Icons Beyond nicknames, slogans and songs, some cities are fortunate to have an architectural icon that is immediately recognized by almost everyone worldwide.

    1 53rd ERSA Congress, 27-31 August 2013, Palermo Regional Integration: Europe, the Mediterranean and the World Economy Keynote Lecture Regional Integration and Cultures in the Age of Knowledge Creation－The Story of the Tower of Babel Revisited－ Masahisa Fujita Konan University / Kyoto University / RIETI Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for your kind introduction. I am very honored by this great opportunity to speak at the 53rd European Regional Science Association Congress in Palermo. Indeed, about half a century ago, before most of you existed, I watched a fascinating movie, “Gatto Pardo,” starring Alain Delon, Burt Lancaster, and Claudia Caldinale in the setting of beautiful Sicily. Since then, it has been my dream to visit Sicily someday. Thanks to the 53rd European RSA Congress, my dream has come true. My presentation today is entitled “Regional Integration and Cultures in the Age of Knowledge Creation－ The Story of the Tower of Babel Revisited－.” In connection with the main theme of this congress, namely, Regional Integration: Europe, the Mediterranean and the World Economy, my presentation today is concerned with the importance of diversity and culture in the sustainable development of the global economy based on innovation and the creation of new knowledge throughout the world. 1. Introduction Indeed, since the late 20th century, we have been witnessing the development of the so-called Brain Power Society. As we know, recently, revolutionary developments in Information・Communication Technology and Transport Technology have been promoting, on the one hand, the so-called globalization of the world economy in trade and investment, and, on the other hand, the development of the so-called Brain Power Society where the creation of new knowledge or innovation has become the major activity of most countries and regions throughout the world.
