Born in JAPAN

Today, I was asked where is a MUJI store by one of our guests. I've been asked the same question by another guest lately. MUJI is a Japanese brand which sells various goods such as sancks, drinks, stationaries, clothes and furniture...


Then I remembered I was surprised that I found a MUJI store in Milan when I went to Italy. MUJI seems to be getting popular in some European countries.




Come to think of it, recently UNIQULO has opened New York Soho store. UNIQULO is a Japanese casual clothes store and offers clothese at good price.



I haven't been asked where is UNIQULO store yet and I don't know how popular it is in US though... There are also some branches in Europe, so it could be getting popular like MUJI.



MUJI's items are quite simple and it's been popular for long time.

UNIQULO is popular from young to old generation in Japan because of the price and its design.

This morning, a yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover came to our ryokan. Most yasaka taxies are with a three-leaf clover. Taxies with a four-leaf clover are only 4 in Kyoto city.

Travel to another city

I went to small trip to FUKUI prefecture last weekend. for Fukui I leave Kyoto at 11am I arrive there about 2pm by car. I have never been there before this is my first time. I live in kyoto city so I do not have so many chance to watch sea so I really enjoy driving the sea front . Fukui is very famous for sea food and hot spring. The weather is very cold when I was there so hot spring was really nice to keep me warm after the hot spring I had seafood. on the way hope I still feel warm because of the hot spring . I could really enjoy and relax on this small trip. From Kyoto station to Fukui station is 1hour and half by Shinkansen.
