I’ve updated my Onsen photos in Wakayama at “Travel & Eat-out in Japan” page. The weather was raining, unfortunately, but I never got bored of bathing in Onsen as many as 5 times in 3 days. (We stayed the Ryokan, or Japanese styled hotel for 2 nights. )This photo is from the sashimi dinner we had at the Ryokan. The dinner was gorgeous. This time I didn’t have to worry about money because my dad took care of it. My mission was to take care of my grandma, who is as old as 87. Anyway, the Onsen was the best of all!

This video describes how characters are at hand to anyone in Japan.
It has nothing to do with whether one likes it or not.
Signs, posters, promotion flags, weather forecast, TV commercial, daily goods, or anything around our life send us messages with characters no matter how old we are! That’s so true. Some of them are really cure (kawaii) but, sometimes it’s just too much. However, character business market is huge, and such famous & successful characters as Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma, and Domo-kun, any character has mega hit possibilities in the future!? I’m curious how this reflects to first-time visiters to Japan.
