Soup
In your country how do you conquer the hangover?
In Japan or Korea we drink much when we become univ student or working member of society.
In Japan, turmeric drink "Ukon's POWER' got popular in several years but.....I don't know the
effect well.
How about in Korea?
They have many kind of soups called "Hae-jang Kuk" means The soup makes intestine easy.
This photo is Kamja- tang, also nice after drinking.
Some soups are so hot in Korea, but some are not.
But hot soups have NI~~CE effect for the hangover.
that's why Koreans are so strong for drinking?!?!

Matsumoto Castle in Nagano
Matsumoto Castle, in Nagano, is one of the oldest castle in Japan which is chosen as National Treasure.
You can feel the atmosphere both from outside and inside. You can go up the stairs inside the castle.
And can imagine how the boss of the castle feel in the era....
Nagano is full of nature, and peaceful city. The winter olympic was held in several years ago.
Castle as National tresure is, in fact, a few because of the fire or natural disaster.
We have to keep the tresures from our ancesters.....it was miserable like Nam-dae-mun Gate in Korea
was burned.

Kyungbokkung Palace
The movie, "King's man" is now released. (http://www.kingsman.co.kr/) You can see some of
the scenes were taken in an Old palace. Here in photo is that. The name is Kyungbokkung.
It was used as palace in 14th century. In fact there was a sad history because of the era of
Japanese control, 20th century. Now we forget it and just.....see and enjoy the splended

Byodoin(Kyoto)
Byodoin temple is famous for the design of 10 yen coin. Boydoin has 1000year's history.
And there is also many images of Budda. This temple is also resistered in World Heritage.
Byodoin is located Uji city in Kyoto. But maybe...many foreign tourists don't go because
here is away from center of Kyoto. If you stay in Japan for long,for example studying in Japan etc,
going Uji is also good for relaxing. Calm and nice place...
