Since Nagasaki had a link with European countries, there


were many people who secretly held to Christian faith. After
the ban against Christianity was lifted, many churches were
constructed, resulting in over 130 churches in Nagasaki
Prefecture. Oura Catholic Church (National Treasure) is representative of the group of churches in Nagasaki. It is Japans
oldest existing church building, which was built by the efforts
of two French priests in 1864.

Nagasaki was the only place where trade with Holland was permitted
during the Edo Period, from the 17th century to the mid-19th century,
due to the national isolation policy. With that history, Nagasaki has a
very unique landscape influenced by a fusion of European and East Asian
cultures. Since the mid-19th century, the city has been a pioneer of modernization in both industry and thought in Japan. Several historic sites in
Nagasaki have been registered on the list of UNESCOs World Cultural
Heritage in 2015, as part of Sites of Japans Meiji Industrial Revolution.
Dejima was the only place where direct trade with
Holland was conducted for about 200 years during the period of isolation. The artificial island
constructed in the mid-17th century is now part
of the city area, connected by landfill. The streets
have been restored to the original layout, allowing
visitors to experience the atmosphere of by-gone
days. The restoration of six buildings is scheduled
to be completed by the autumn of 2016, and the
restoration of Dejima Omotemon Bridge, which
used to exist to connect the island and the mainland, will be completed in 2017, making this
unique area more fun and attractive!

the surrounding area from January 1 to 15 in the traditional lunar
calendar (around late January to mid-February in the modern solar
calendar) every year. Over 15,000 Chinese lanterns are lit during
the festival, creating a mesmerizing view.
Among other festivals, Nagasaki Kunchi Festival is unique by
incorporating various international cultures, including Chinese
culture. The annual festival, held from October 7 to 9 at Suwa-jinja
Shrine, has more than 380 years of history and tradition. Its parade
features powerful performances, such as a lion dance.

There are many high quality hot springs in this area. (Kaede-no-yu bath room) There are many Japanese style inns.
Shiga Kogen Highland and Lake Onumaike There is a momument inscribed with the haiku by Issa in front of the Ooyu.

Yudanaka Onsen is famous for its connection with Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827),
who was one of the haiku poem masters during the Edo period. He loved this
area and visited often.
According to historical records, the hot spring was found by a priest named
Chiyu(). The hot spring water flows from the surface of the ground. This is
a popular area for people who are looking to heal their bodies. There are many
high quality hot springs in this area. It is considered that the name of the area,
Yudanaka came from a haiku read by Issa when he was so impressed to see the
many gushing hot springs.
Visitors can experience different hot spring waters in the districts of
Yudanaka Onsen area since each district has their own source of hot spring
water. The area does not share the same source of the hot spring water. Ooyu

the beach, and touring around the island are Nabbie
enjoyable during daytime. You may see wild Tera

peaceful time, Aguni Island is a place where you

should visit.

other plants at Fukugiya. Views from the studio
are outstanding.

Cooking Directions
1. Tempura batter Mix the flour and cornstarch (A) in a bowl.Stir the
chilled water with the beer and egg, and then add the mayonnaise.
When foam becomes small,
moisture gets reduced. Take from the pan
when the batter becomes brown.

Slowly pour (B) into the flour mixture (A) and whisk gently without
creating a heavy foam. Do not over-whisk as this causes the gluten
in the flour to harden.
2. Preparing the ingredients Peel the outer shell off the shrimp, and
a shallow cut along the back of the body and remove the innards.
On the underside, make shallow, angled cuts along the body. Lightly
press down the joints to create long, flat shrimp meat pieces. Cut the
eggplant, mushrooms and asparagus into bite-size pieces. Poke a
small hole in the green chili pepper.
3. Tempura sauce Place ingredients (C) in a pan and bring to a boil.
4. Deep-frying Prepare vegetable oil for deep-frying. Add 10% sesame
oil to improve the flavor (optional). Heat the oil until it reachesbetween 180 degrees C and 190 degreesC. Coat the ingredients (2) using the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Dip them one by one

Chefs Advice

Adding beer is to reduce gluten, and adding ice is


to reduce gluten and make the batter thin.
Roughly whisking is the key for making delicious tempura.
Slowly deep-frying makes thea tempura crispy.
Reducing moisture in the ingredients is important.

Traditional Food and Drinking

Culture of Kansai,

Some of It Almost Forgotten

I spent a week touring around Kyoto, Nara and Shiga prefectures,


getting treated to a royal suite of culinary delights and cultural experiences.
There were too many events for the space I have to write about them, but here were the highlights:
1

e started off at Imanishi Honten, a Nara-zuke factory in Nara


Prefecture. Highly recommended for those who want a detailed
explanation of how these famous tsukemono, a.k.a Japanese
pickles, are made. The owner of this shop remains one of the few who dont
cut any corners with Nara-zuke, which are now 99 percent produced by
large companies, outsourced to places as far-reaching as Indonesia.
We also visited Kawashima Brewery in Shiga Prefecture. Getting an
in-depth look at the mysterious process of handmade sake making was a
stimulating experience, but it was saddening to hear from the owner that
the number of sake producers in Japan has fallen from 3,000 to 1,300 due
to the disappearance of the natural environments necessary for sake brewing, and the migration of the Japanese population towards cheap alcohols.
During these five days, we ate at many highly regarded restaurants in
the Kansai area, but the standout meal of the trip was at Kogetsu, a restaurant in the small town of Kusatsu in Shiga Prefecture. This isolated
establishment has managed to fully book its lunch reservations until the
end of 2017, and if you eat there you will understand why. Our meal
featured many courses, all of which paired incredibly well with the sake
on offer. The teriyaki eel topped with edible leaves and accompanied by
mashed gobo puree left the strongest impression, but the half cooked rice
topped with half cooked soy sauce, white miso potato potage and garlic
marinated sashimi held their own as well.
Kogetsu is a rare success story, but many of the great food and
drinking experiences available in this area may not be available much longer, if we continue to refuse to look further
than convenience stores for our eating and drinking needs.
These places need your support!

TOURIST INFORMATION
Transportation /

Rail

Japan is covered in a rail network that reaches to almost every


corner of the archipelago. Most are owned and run by the
Japan Railway (JR) system and the world famous Shinkansen
bullet train is of course one of the fastest and most enjoyable
forms of land transport anywhere the distance between
Tokyo and Osaka being covered in just 2 hours 30 minutes on
the fastest line.

the value of the card. In Tokyo the cards are known as Suica or
PASMO and are accepted on JR lines, subways and most other
railways and buses.

Japanese taxis can be found at the exit to every train station


in the country or alternatively hailed on the streets. The red
sign visible through the windshield of the car: (kusha)
means it is vacant and available for hire but when the sign
reads (chinso), it is unavailable. The back door on the
left side will open and close automatically so be careful not to
stand too close! (All the other doors are operated manually)
Rates vary depending on the taxi company but usually start at
a fixed rate of 730 yen (in Tokyo) for the first two kilometers.
The rate system is shown inside the taxi and receipts can be
issued. In urban areas, you can usually pay by credit card for
a taxi. If credit cards are accepted, a taxi has a sticker showing
this on the window.

Tokyo One-Day Free Ticket (Tokyo Furii Kippu)


is available for use on JR lines (inside Tokyos 23 cities),

subways, and the Toei Bus service for one whole day ending
at midnight at a charge of 1,590 yen.
Tokyo Subway Ticket is available for use on Tokyo Metro and
Toei Metro subway lines. Prices for adults are 800 yen (1 day),
1,200 yen (2 days), and 1,500 yen (3 days).
JR Kanto Area Pass is to be upgraded to JR TOKYO Wide Pass
from December 19, 2015. The new pass is valid for three days
and good for unlimited rides using reserved seats on ordinary
cars on Shinkansen and express trains in the Kanto area. The
service is now extended to Echigo-Yuzawa Station and GALA
Yuzawa Station. Prices are 10,000 yen (Adults), and 5,000
yen (Children).

Bus

Long-distance buses in Japan are run by numerous companies


including JR. Buses are generally more economic than traveling by plane or train but do take longer and can be affected by
traffic jams at busy times of the day or night.
Local buses run all over Japan as well as in the major cities
and sometimes English instructions or stop announcements
are used but this is not the case everywhere. We would
recommend you ask drivers to remind you of where you must
disembark prior to setting off.

Youve finally made it to the hot spring. But how do you go about
making use of it? Above all, you should never forget to observe
the manners and etiquette needed throughout. Here are some
important rules to guide you through your first onsen experience
- a primer to the laws of the onsen:

First of all you will have to completely undress. Clothes are to


be taken off in the dressing room (known as the datsui-jo in
Japanese). Other than your birthday suit, you may bring one small
towel or washcloth to the bathing area for washing with. Do not
make the mistake of changing into and going in your bathing suit!
It is not allowed.
Once in the bathing area, rinse off with hot water before
getting into the onsen. At some places there will be a stone
tub by the entrance, at others you may be able to wash with soap,
bucket and using a tap, and at other you will have to take the water
directly from the onsen itself (In Japanese this is called kakeh-yu).
Kakeh-yu can be done with a small bowl or bucket (sometimes with
a handle). Hot water is drawn from the tub or tap and poured over
the entire body to rinse thoroughly. This is considered one of the
most important points of onsen manners.

After you have completely rinsed, its time to get into the hot
tub. Its best to get in slowly at first. Get in slowly up to your
knees, then up to your waist, followed by chest, then neck. In doing
so your body will slowly get used to the water temperature. Do not
put the towel into the water. You may see people fold and put it on
their heads, now you know why - it doesnt belong in the water. You
may also put it on the side of the tub.
One dip is usually no more than 10 minutes. As there are
mineral elements in the water, longer exposure is not only
relaxing, but allows the body to soak up more of those minerals.
Getting in at least 2 to 3 times a day is reasonable.
Where tap and washing stalls are available, switching from
wash stall to tub and back is up to you. Do so at will. Never
bring the soap or suds into the tub!
Some hot springs provide more than one tub, such as an
open-air bath (rotenburo). Switching from bath to bath may
also be done freely.
When your body is hot and you are totally relaxed, taking a
shower is entirely up to you, although may be a waste of the
onsens mineral healing properties. Leaving them to soak in may be
better for your skin.
Once out of the onsen, dry off with a towel. Taking a nap is
effective; bathing in a hotspring takes quite some physical energy.

Jikkoku-bune Boat Ride


in Okazaki Park
with Cherry Blossoms
In the Okazaki area, where museums and a zoo are
located, you can enjoy boat cruising on a traditional
jikkoku-bune boat. The boat starts from Okazaki
Nanzenji boat pier (in front of Lake Biwa Canal
Museum) and goes to Ebisugawa Dam (about 3 km,

25 min /round trip). During the period of time when


the canal is lit up in the cherry blossom season, night
tours are available. After the cherry blossom season
(depending on the year, usually late March to early
April), fresh green scenery is also breathtaking!

Where the Wild Things Are

The Robot Restaurant, a recent endeavor to create a fusion between the traditional and modern cultures of Japan, has been operating in Shinjuku's
Kabuki-cho district for over two years. Although it's called a restaurant it is
functionally an entertainment performance, albeit one where you can have a
sushi meal delivered at your table.
The performance itself features the aforementioned robots, along with
a medley of mythical creatures, traditional taiko musicians, dancers and
clowns, including an impressive final act where all of these performers join the
stage together. It's a light-hearted jaunt through the history of Japan and its
popular culture, in an intimate stage setting that gives more of a family-run
impression than a big Broadway business one.The popcorn offered at regular
intervals during intermissions helps to establish this homey atmosphere even
further.
Still, the production values on display here are undeniably high, and the
large ensemble cast works with a clear sense of unity and professionalism.
Most importantly, they genuinely seem to enjoy performing the show. This
one comes recommended for those who want to get up close with the wacky
side of the Land of the Rising Sun. The show performs three to four times a
day, but with its popularity steadily rising, reservations are recommended.
