They're so exclusive that they even kicked out the Michelin inspectors. Luckily, Chef Yoshiaki Takazawa has just opened a bar right around the corner from the parent restaurant. "The food menu reflects Takazawa’s unwavering focus on premium Japanese ingredients, as always straddling the divide between Japanese and Western. His superb ankimo (monkfish liver) comes from Sado Island, off the coast of Niigata Prefecture. He offers a delectable pate de campagne (country terrine) sandwiched between two wafer-thin, crisp slices of bread made with jet-black bamboo charcoal. Those who have eaten at the restaurant can revisit his classic vegetable parfait in scaled-down form. His karaage fried chicken is excellent, as is his venison sandwich. And the takoyaki dumplings — made with shirako (cod milt) in place of octopus — are not to be missed." - Japan Times Opening hours Sunday 6PM-12AM Monday 6PM-12AM Tuesday 6PM-12AM Wednesday 6PM-12AM Thursday 6PM-12AM Friday 6PM-12AM Saturday 6PM-12AM Phone number: +81 3 3505 5052 Website: http://www.takazawa-y.co.jp/bar/ Reviews http://www.yelp.com/biz/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%82%B6%E3%83%AF-%E6%B8%AF%E5%8C%BA http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1066451-d1230028-Reviews-Takazawa- Minato_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html 7: Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho (Lodging) Address: 1-2 Kioichō, Chiyoda-ku, Tōkyō-to 102-0094, Japan About: Located in the Chiyoda Ward neighborhood in Tokyo, 0.6 miles from National Diet Building, The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, a Luxury Collection Hotel features a restaurant, bar and free WiFi throughout the property.

    Strangers on a Commuter Train

    Alisa Freedman Strangers on a Commuter Train Female Students and the Salaryman Who Watched Them in Tayama Katai's Shojo byo In the early twentieth century, there were several transformations in Tokyo urban space and in the lives of its inhabitants. Many of these new social and spatial move­ ments converged on the train. Throughout the Meiji period (1868-1912)1, a gro­ wing number of peopte moved to Tokyo from the countryside, and, by the first de­ cade of the twentieth century, the city population had exploded. However, in the years following ]apan's 1905 military victory over Russia, many families moved from the city to its surrounding countryside, seeking nature and tranquiHity away from the noise and crowds.2 The residents of these suburbs included the salaryman (sarariman), a worker who earned a monthly salary and was a member of the new middle dass which emerged with the financial growth and developing capitalist consumer economy at this time. Perhaps more in image than in reality, the sa­ laryman, his wife, and at least two children lived alongside upper-class families of high-ranking government officials, whose daughters often attended schoo'l in the center of Tokyo and commuted there by the expanding network of modern mass transportation. From the Meiji 30s, the last decade of the nineteenth century, the number of female students increased, and the image of the schoolgirl dressed in ha­ kuma, wearing hair ribbons, and traversing Tokyo or its suburbs on bicycle or by train proliferated in popular literature and mass media. 3 The rise of the suburbs, where the salarymen and female students resided, was facilitated by the develop­ ment of Tokyo's modern mass transportation network, especially the new electric trains, which were cleaner and quieter than steam locomotives.

Arriving to Tokyo it feels no different, and were it not for the alien neon lettering at junctions, we could have been in any city of the world. “It reminds me of China” Fanfan mutters at a time I was feeling the same. It is at this point where I realize just how little I know about Japan. My first impressions? It’s not as grainy as Akira Kurosawa movies, and nowhere near as animated as Manga or Studio Ghibli productions. This is how I know Japan; through movies and animation, with samurai and smiling eyes. I would soon go on to know and love Japan for many other reasons, expected and unexpected during our 2 week JR pass journeys.

We intended to establish a large population-based cohort study to determine environmental, lifestyle, and genetic risk factors of musculoskeletal and other age-related diseases, and to clarify the association between vitamin D status and such diseases. Methods: We targeted 34,802 residents aged 40–74 years living in areas of northern Niigata Prefecture, including Sekikawa Village, Awashimaura Village, and Murakami City (Murakami region). The baseline questionnaire survey, conducted between 2011 and 2013, queried respondents on their lifestyle and environmental factors (predictors), and self-reported outcomes. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration, an indicator of vitamin D status, was determined with the Liaison® 25OH Vitamin D Total Assay. The primary outcome of this study was osteoporotic fracture; other outcomes included age-related diseases including knee osteoarthritis, perception of chronic pain, dementia, and long-term care insurance use. Mean ages of men and women were 59.2 (SD = 9.3, N = 6907) and 59.0 (SD = 9.3, N = 7457) years, respectively.

(2) Compulsory Education Under the compulsory education system, all children are required to attend and graduate both elementary and junior high school. Although the compulsory education requirement applies only to Japanese nationals, non-Japanese children between the ages of 6-15 living in Japan are able to attend elementary and junior high school at the same cost as a Japanese child regardless of their nationality. Additionally, in 1994, Japan ratified the “Convention on the Rights of the Child” adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989. This convention mandates that the right of all children to an education must be recognized. While Japan does not mandate that the guardians of non-Japanese children force their children to receive an education, children are guaranteed their right to one.
