Milanese Sandwich with Beef Stewed with Red Wine／ミラノ風サンド（牛肉の赤ワイン煮込み）

Doutor coffee shop is a coffee shop chain in Japan.
We can enjoy coffee and snacks at a reasonable price there.
Today I went to the coffee shop to have lunch and ate a Milanese Sandwich with beef stewed in red wine.
It was so delicious!

Taking Care of My Teeth ／歯のお手入れ

Every morning I brush my teeth after having breakfast at home.
And sometimes at the office building where I worked at, I brush my teeth on the toilet after lunch.
I also brush my teeth after having supper every evening.
I also use dental floss to remove plaque from a gap between two teeth these days.
Lastly, I finish by rinsing my mouth with mouthwash.
If I find a new tooth decay, I'll not believe in such kind of measures any more!

===================================
僕は毎日の朝食後に家で歯を磨きます。
そして、昼食後は時々職場のビルのトイレで歯を磨きます。
それから、毎日夕食後に歯を磨きます。
最近では、歯間の歯垢を取り除くためにデンタルフロスを使っています。
最後に洗口液を使って歯の手入れを終えます。
もし新しい虫歯が見つかったら、そういう処置はもはや信じられないよ！

===================================

ぼくは　まいにちの　ちょうしょくごに　いえで　はを　みがきます。
そして、　ちゅうしょくごは　ときどき　しょくばの　びるの　といれで　はを　みがきます。
それから、　まいにち　ゆうしょくごに　はを　みがきます。

さいごに　せんこうえきを　つかって　はの　ていれを　おえます。
もし　あたらしい　むしばが　みつかったら、　そういう　しょちは　もはや　なにも　しんじられないよ！

Delivery Buddhist Monk／お坊さん便

Amazon has started a unique service of delivery Buddhist monks.

Actually, the service is provided by their business partner.

We can order the service at a fixed price via Amazon.

We Japanese call a buddhist monk to our homes or visit a temple to ask a monk to read a sutra when we mourn for someone who has died. At that time, we have to pay some money to the monk as a token of gratitude or to the principle deity of the temple as an offering. The amount of money is not fixed clearly, so we tend to be a little bit concerned about it. 

A good aspect of the service provided by Amazon is to be fixed the price, so we don't have to worry about that.

However, I wonder what everyone will think of the service.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amazonが、お坊さんを配達するというユニークなサービスを始めました。

そのサービスは、実際にはAmazonの提携先から提供されます。

そのサービスは、Amazonを通して定価で注文できます。

死んだ人を追悼するとき、私たち日本人は、家にお坊さんを呼んだり、お経を読んでもらうため、お寺を訪ねたりします。

そういうとき、お坊さんに謝礼として、あるいは、お寺の本尊にお供え物として、いくらか支払います。

Gathering Cats ／ ねこあつめ

I like a game called Neko-atsume. Neko-atsume is a game application for smart phones. Various cats will come a little while after you set out food and goods in a field. They play with balls and relax on a cushions. I can take pictures of them. After playing for a while, they disappear, leaving behind small dried sandines called Niboshi as a token of their gratitude. I can use Niboshi for purchasing goods. Although I can also get Niboshi by spending money, I can enjoy the game enough without doing that. It is an endless game but the loose situation is also attractive. :D

===============================

私はねこあつめというゲームが好きです。
ねこあつめはスマホで遊べるゲームアプリです。
フィールド画面に餌やグッズを配置して、しばらく放っておくと猫が来ています。ボールで遊んでだり、クッションでくつろいだりしており、その写真を撮ることができます。しばらく遊ぶといなくなってしまいますが、お礼に煮干しを置いていきます。煮干しはグッズの購入に使うことができます。課金して煮干しを購入することもできますが、課金しなくてもタダで十分楽しむことができます。終わりのないゲームですが、その緩さもまた魅力的です。

===============================

わたしは ねこあつめという ゲームが すきです。
ねこあつめは スマホで あそべる ゲームアプリです。フィールドがめんに えさや ぐっずを はいちして、 しばらく ほうっておくと ねこが きています。
ぼーるで あそんだり、 くっしょんで くつろいだり しており、 その しゃしんを とることが できます。
しばらく あそぶと いなくなって しまいますが、 おれいに にぼしを おいていきます。 にぼしは ぐっずの こうにゅうに つかう ことが できます。 かきんして にぼしを てに いれる ことも できますが、 かきんしなくても、 タダで じゅうぶん たのしむ ことが できます。 おわりの ない ゲームですが、 その ゆるさも また みりょくてきです。

Snowy Mountain (谷川岳）

I went to a snowy mountain yesterday.

I had training in how to use equipments for snowy mountains there, for example, an ice axe and crampons, because I'm just an amateur in mountaineering of snowy mountains. I also practiced how to stop sliding down by using an ice axe.

I saw a surface avalanche during the mountain climbing, the roaring sound was a little bit scary.

I was satisfied with the mountaineering very much though I couldn't reach the summit of the mountain!
================================================
“雪山”
昨日、私は雪山に行きました。
雪山登山ではずぶの素人なので、ピッケルやアイゼンといった雪山装備の使い方をそこで練習しました。私は、ピッケルを使った滑落停止の練習もしました。
登山中、表層雪崩を見ました。轟音が少しだけ怖かったです。
ピークハントはできませんでしたが、大満足の山行でした！
================================================
“ゆきやま”
きのう、わたしは　ゆきやまに　いきました。

Amakazari-yama!（雨飾山！）(32nd challenge to 100 mountains)

Three holidays in a row in Japan, but the weather forecast said it would rain in the second day. So in the last day which the weather would be fine, I and my wife decided to go to a mountain where we could reach the top within a day.  This time, we wanted to choose a hard mountain because we would be with our teacher of mountaineering, but we thought that choosing high mountains like Japanese Alps was high-risk, so we chose easier one.

We searched a mountain with a camping site near the entrance, where we could stay there the night before. Then we picked up Yakushi-dake(薬師岳) and Amakazari-yama(雨飾山) . Finally, we chose Amakazari-yama because the hight is lower and the weather seemed finer than Yakushi-dake. This mountaineering would be 32nd successful ascent of the one hundred distinguished mountains in Japan.


The night before, we arrived at the camping site. After the rain, we pitched our tent and started drinking party in a log cabin there.
There were not crowded so I felt comfortable.

Nest morning, we started mountaineering from the entrance. It was fine in the morning.

Wet red leaves were very beautiful under the sunlight after raining.










After going up in the mountain path, we came across beautiful scene. It was the collaboration of red leaves and a rocky track.












Then, we went up in the steep trail, and after that, reached Sasa-daira(笹平).  It's so-called flat place with bamboo grass.We could see the top of Amakazari-yama from Sasa-daira! The shape of the mountain was like a bowl. And we could see the Japan sea from there. So impressed because we hardly have chances to see the Japan sea. And rice fields in Itoigawa-city were brilliant under the sunlight.

We finally reached the top! There were a lot of people there. I ate a cupped noodle, then started to go down from the top.

Brilliant white sand! Hoh-oh san-zan! (31st challenge to 100 mountains)

As 31st chalenge to 100 mountains, we went to Hoh-oh san-zan aimed at enjoying autumn leaves with a tent for camping.
Hoh-oh san-zan consists of three mountains, Yakushi-dake, Hoh-oh-san and Jizo-dake.
The route was from yashajin-touge (夜叉神峠）to hirogawara (広河原) via the peaks of Hoh-oh san-zan.

I was very impressed by things as bellow.
- South Alps natural mineral water gushing out near Minami-mimuro goya (南御室小屋)


- Beauty of white sand and autumn leaves under clear blue sky
- Magnificent view of Shirane-san-zan, composed of Kita-dake, Aino-dake and Noh-tori-dake (白根三山（北岳、間ノ岳、農鳥岳）
- Scenery of Fuji-san like one piece of a picture
- Yakushi-dake-koya with a homely atmosphere
- Pleasant walking along the mountain ridge of Hoh-oh san-zan
- Statues of Buddhism at Jizo-dake
- Huge rock on the top of Jizo-dake called an obelisk
- Going down a steep slope

Yarigatake (槍ヶ岳) like a theme park! (30th challenge to 100 mountains)

Sep. 20th to 22nd, 2015
As 30th challenge to 100 mountains, we went to Yarigatake!
The route was from Kami-kohchi to Shin-hodaka hot spring via Yarigatake.
We left home before 2 a.m., arrived at Sawatari-area around 5:30 a.m.
Then accessed to Kami-kohchi by a taxi.











===Impressive things! ===
- Excellent view of Asusagawa-river and Hodaka-dake
- Breakfast set at Michikusa-shokudo restaurant of Tokusawa-en hotel. Costed 1,300 yen and very delicious
- Large field for camping at Tokusawa-en hotel. Seemed very comfortable.
- Great Yarigatake under the clear blue sky
- The path to the top of Yarigatake was very congested. We took 3 hours to reach the top of the Yarigatake. The distance was only around 100 meters. It's like a theme park.


- Camping for two nights in a row. Camping site at Baba-daira is riverbed of a small river. Public toilet was very clean. The tent site of Yarigatake-sansou had already been full at the time of the morning. It's located at 3,000 meters high, separated for each tent, so very pleasant to stay. It's for only 30 tents, so you have to pay attention to the capacity.
- Beautiful starry sky without clouds
- Satisfied with the supper and the breakfast at Yarigatake-sanso.

Mt. Tyausu with various colors! (29th challenge to 100 mountains)

We went to Mt.Chausu as 29th challenge of one hundred mountains in Japan.
We also went Asahi-dake and Sanbon-yari-dake in addition to Nasu-dake because mountaineering only one mountain was not satisfiable to us.

In the beginning, we accessed Touge-no-tyaya by car. The parking lot was already full, but a woman of the facility advised to park our car behind the tyaya at a cost of just 1,000 yen. The badges of mountaineering of Tyausu-dake was sold in this tyaya. We started mountaineering from the tyaya.

We could come across the beautiful view soon after the start point. We could see next check point, Mine-no-tyaya, so we were reassured. There were a lot of flowers of gentian. Those brilliant blue-coulored flowers were very beautiful!


We took a short rest at Mine-no-tyaya, and then headed to Asahi-dake. We climbed up on rough mountain path to Asahi-dake, and reached the top! The silhouette of Asahi-dake was very rough.
We headed next mountain, San-bon-yari-dake. In the middle part of the path to San-bon-yari-dake, there is a flat field called Shimizu-daira. There was damp ground and well-maintained wooden pedestrian road for hikers. The sunlight from the sky was shining on the ground, we felt fantastic atmosphere. After climbing through the bush of small pine trees, we reached the top of San-bon-yari-dake! We took lunch there, and finally we started the last mountain, Chausu-dake.

The fog were gradually getting up, so we felt uneasy about the weather. The mountain road to Tya-usu-dake was very rough. I though this was because Mt-Tyausu was still active. The shape of Mt.Tyausu was like a upside-down bowl. That colored red and brown or yellow, white... anyway, we could enjoy various colors of the mountain. The road was also very rough, and felt uneasy to climb up. Hot gases were discharged from the craters and could hear the violent sound.

We were climbing up as listening violent sound from craters, and finally we reached the edge of the crater of the almost top of the mountain. It was about 100 meters in diameter, and we walked around the edge, and reached the top!

WE COMPLETED TODAY'S MISSION!
However, we couldn't see anything except for thick fog. What a pity.


Anyway, we could enjoy mountaineering of three mountains in Nasu, feeling various atmosphere. We were very satisfied with this mountaineering!

Rugged Goryu-dake! (五竜岳) (28th challenge to 100 mountains)

Aug. 15th ~ 16th, 2015

We wanted to start earlier, but started late just as I'd feared.

Taking three lifts, arrived at Happo-ike-sansou.

There were many alpine flowers at Happo-ridge.

I was looking forward to seeing beautiful scenery of Hakuba-sanzan, projected on the surface of Happo-pond, but I couldn't see that due to the dense fog. Damn it.

We could see Hakuba-yarigatake in place from the ridge.

We went up under the hot sunshine, came across the Ohgi-ravin with the perpetual snow.

We had a rest there. Many climber did like us.

After going up on gravel road, scree and so on, finally we'd reached Karamatsu-chojo-sansou.

After then, we reached the top of the Karamatsu-dake!

Next, we headed to Goryu-dake.

The path to Goryu-dake was very exciting because we had to pay attention to the rough road.

It's like an athletics!

After we were going along the ridge among in the fog, Goryu-sansou had suddenly appeared. We felt relieved at that time. ε-(´∀｀*

At Goryu-sansou, I bought T-shirt, printed with the words 'I love the mountains and Sake'. It's very famous for climbers. Actually I don't like sake so much. My wife also bought the T-shirt with different color. The T-shirts was made by Monbel and quite functional. 

The supper at Goryu-sansou was curry! Very very delicious! (゜д゜) I had another helping of cully.

We enjoyed seeing starry sky and went to bed. We made a reservation in advance, so we could stay on the second floor. The first floor was like chaos, so I recommend to make a reservation in advance.

In the next day, we reached at the top of Goryu-dake!

We could see Tsurugi-dake, Tate-yama and Yarigatake! It was really great scenery! 

This mountaineering became very impressive!

Getting warm at Kotatsu! Mountaineering to Kumotori-Sanso (lodge)! おこたでぬくぬく🐻雲取山行！

I had decided to climb Kumotori-yama and stay at Kumotori-sanso (lodge) as my last mountaineering this year because the trace of the ridge is broad, the view from there is wonderful, and this mountain is favorite for me and my wife, though the mountaineering to Kumotori-yama was third time for me!

雲取山は今回で3回目となるものの、雲取山の登山ルートは尾根道は広くて展望がよくて気持ちよく、連れも思い入れがある山とのことなので、今年の登り納めとして、雲取山荘宿泊の雲取山山行を決行しました！


We left home in the early morning and had breakfast at a restaurant and then arrived at Kosode-norikoshi (the start point of this mountaineering) at 11 a.m. Kumotori-yama is quite familiar with us but it's a little bit late. (´・ω・`)

朝発でファミレスで朝食をとり、小袖乗越を出発したのは11時過ぎ。登り慣れた山といえ、少しのんびりしすぎました(´・ω・`)


The weather was very fine! It's winter, so broad leaf trees were bare of leaves. We could feel the warm sun light from openings among trees at the trace.

天気は快晴！冬なので広葉樹林は葉っぱを落としており、道中木々の隙間から差し込む日光が暖かかったです。


I thought there were few people because we started late, but quite many hikers had started the mountaineering in the time around, I felt a little relieved. (Of course we realized such kind of thinking was not good. It's so called Shudan-shinri, bad thinking trend of group.)

出発が遅くなったため、登山道に人が少ないかと思いきや、かなりの人がこの時間帯に入山しており、少し安心しました。（だが、こういうのが集団心理というやつで、よくないことは認識。）


Because we had to shorten the time to the peak, we passed the peak of Nanatsu-ishi-yama, and passed the peak of Kumotori-yama after passing the peak of Ko-kumotori-yama. The roundabout trace to Kumotori-sanso (lodge) was covered with snow, about 20cm deep, we had to put simple crampons on. Finally, we arrived at Kumotori-sanso (lodge) at a few minutes till 5 p.m. after sunset.

極力ショートカットということで、七ツ石山はパス、小雲取山を登ったあとは、雲取山をパス。雲取山荘への巻き道には雪が多く、アイゼン必須でした。結局、雲取山荘についたのは、日没後の17時少し前になってしまいました。


At Kumotori-sanso (lodge), we could stay a room for four people (2 groups of 2 people), and be relaxed very much. The Kotatsu in the room was very warm, so we put our legs in the Kotatsu, got warm. As dinner, we ate Ishii's hamburg as usual, but the miso soup was very effective for our chilled body. We appreciated warm rice and finished it. We could use Futon freely, so not feel coldness, slept very well.

雲取山荘では、1部屋4人（2人×2組）で非常にゆったりと使うことができました。部屋のこたつはとても暖かく、布団に体を突っ込んで、ぬくぬくしました。夕食は変わらず石井のハンバーグでしたが、暖かいみそ汁が体に染み渡り、暖かいご飯に感謝して完食しました。ふとんも使い放題で、底冷えもなく、快適に眠ることができました。


In the next morning, after having breakfast at the lodge, then left the lodge. We though we would see sunrise at the peak, but we started late again, so we gave it up, climbed up to the peak slowly.

翌朝、朝食を山荘でとって、いざ出発。日の出を見ようと思っていましたが、またも出発が遅くなり、あきらめてゆっくり山頂に向かうことに。


At the peak of Kkumotori-yama, the sun had already risen, but the weather was very fine and we could enjoy beautiful scenery.

雲取山頂に立った時はすでに日は昇っていましたが、天気は快晴、綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。


At a lodge for evacuation we had a coffee break, then started climbing down the mountain.

避難小屋でコーヒーを飲み、本格的に下山開始。


in the return route to the start point, we climbed up Nanatsu-ishi-yama, and had lunch there. The glove of my wife was burned due to the fire of burner, a few blanks were appeared. Fortunately, she was not injured, so I felt relieved. But she was shocked very much because the glove was almost new. (´・ω・`)

往路でパスした七ツ石山も登り、早めのご飯。
このとき連れの手袋がバーナーの火で燃えてしまい、穴が空いてしまいましたが、幸いひどい火傷はせず、ほっとしました。本人は買ったばかりの手袋に穴があいたことにとてもショックを受けていましたが(´・ω・`)


We arrived at Kosode-norikoshi (the start point) at around half passed 12. After mountaineering, we went to Nomekoi-hot spring, which is 10-minute far from the start point by car. I become warm there, relieved my fatigue.

12時半まえに、小袖乗越に到着。
その後の温泉は車で10分ほどの丹波山温泉のめこい湯に。温泉であったまり、疲れを取りました。


In this year, we had enjoyed 23 mountaineerings, 2 times per a month, we made a lot of memories. In the next year, we would slow down the pace, but would challenge staying in a tent, go to the north and south alps in Japan, as many as possible.
今年は計23回の山行を行い、ほぼ2回／月のペースでガンガン山に登ってたくさんの思い出ができました。来年は少しペースを落としますが、テント泊にもチャレンジし、また、今年まったく行けなかった北アルプス・南アルプスの山行を可能な限りねじ込んでいきたいと思います。

The last mountaineering in this year to Kumotori, which was totally fine weather, was very great!
今年の締めくくり雲取山行が、終始好天に恵まれてよいものになって良かったです！

Tsubaki-ya Coffee / 椿屋珈琲店

I went to a Tsubaki-ya coffee shop in Ikubukuro after dinner today. Tubaki-ya coffee shop chain consists of 10 shops, which are located in different places each. The coffee price is a little bit higher than other coffee chains', such as Starbucks, Turry's and so on. However it's acceptable for me because the atmosphere there is very cool. Tsubaki-ya has antique furniture and decoration in their shops and enough space for conversation or doing personal matters is reserved for customers, and of course the coffee taste is very good! That's why if you wanna enjoy coffee except for common coffee chains when you come to Japan, you should go to Tsubaki-ya!

今日、夕食の後に、池袋の椿屋珈琲店に行きました。椿屋珈琲店は１０店舗あり、それぞれ違う場所にあります。コーヒーの値段はスターバックスや、タリーズといった他のコーヒーチェーンより若干高めです。でも、そこの雰囲気はとてもよいので、自分にとって許容範囲内です。椿屋はアンティーク調の家具と装飾が配されており、お客さんが会話や個人的な事をするのに十分なスペースが確保されています。もちろん、コーヒーもとてもおいしいです！そういうわけで、もし日本に来たときに、ありふれたコーヒーチェーン以外のコーヒーを楽しみたいのならば、椿屋に行くべきです！

Lane for Bicycles Only / 自転車専用道路

Accidents between pedestrians and bicycles have been increasing recently in Japan. One of the reasons is considered that some commuters started using bicycles to their offices instead of trains, which were terribly affected by disasters such as the great east-Japan earthquake and the strong typhoon No.12. From the energy saving point of view, it's a very effective measure. However some of them are very much ignorant of the basic traffic rules. They often ride on bicycles without ringing bells and pass by within a hairbreadth of the pedestrians at a high speed. Under this circumstances, the government suggests to introduce a complete ban on riding bicycles on pedestrians' lanes. If this is determined, accidents between bicycles and cars will increase because the bicycles will have to be on roads for cars in case of there are no roads for bicycles, I suppose. So, first of all, the governments should keep such reckless riders under strict control, I think.

最近日本では、歩行者と自転車との間で事故が多くなってきています。その理由の一つは、通勤者の中に、東日本大震災や強い台風１２号のような災害で多大な影響を受けた電車の代わりに自転車を使い始めた人がいるためと、考えられています。エネルギー節約の観点からは、それはとても有効な手段です。でも、彼らの中には、基本的な交通ルールにとても無頓着な人がいます。彼らは、ベルを鳴らさずに自転車に乗り、ハイスピードで歩行者すれすれを通過することがよくあります。この状況下で、政府は歩行者道路で自転車を乗ることの全面的禁止を導入することを考えています。もしこれが決定されたら、自転車道路がない場合に、自転車は自動車道路にいなければならないので、自転車と車の間で事故が増えるんじゃないかと僕は思います。そのため、何よりもまず政府がすべきことは、無頓着な自転車乗りを厳重に取り締まることだと、僕は思います。

Radiation from Supermarket ／ スーパーから放射線

High level of radiation was detected at a parking lot of a supermarket in Setagaya ward. According to the detailed investigation, it seems to be emitted from underground. It clearly has no relation with the accident of Fukushima nuclear plants because the strength of radiation is too high compared with the measurements of the surrounding area. So, I think someone threw away high level of radioactive substance as waste there in the past. These days, many people are very much concerned about the accumulation of radioactive substances in their own living areas. That's why some of them are checking radiation levels everywhere, and sometimes find some strange spots, where the radiation is quite high. I'm sure there are many places like this, so I guess this kind of news has been reported continuously for the time being.

高レベルの放射線が世田谷区のスーパーマーケットの駐車場で発見されました。詳細な調査によると、それは地下から放出されてるようです。周辺地域の計測値と比較して放射線量のレベルが強すぎるので、福島の原子力プラントの事故とは無関係であることは明確です。僕は、誰かが過去に、高レベルの放射性物質を廃棄物してそこに捨てたのだと思います。最近、多くの人々が自分が住んでいる地域における放射性物質の蓄積についてとても心配しています。そのため、彼らの中には、至る所で放射線量のレベルをチェックしている人もいますし、ときどきかなり放射線量が強い、変わったところが発見されます。きっとこういう場所はたくさんあると僕は思うし、当面の間は、引き続きこの種のニュースが報道し続けられることと思います。

Radioactive Cesium ／ 放射性セシウム

I heard the news that a French research institution had revealed that the amount of Cesium flowing into the sea was considered to be actually thirty times as high as that reported by TEPCO last May, two months after the devastating earthquake and the ensuing the tsunami and the accidents of nuclear plants. It's exactly what I thought. I thought it's absolutely impossible to measure the correct amount of spilling, and it's easily foreseeable that TEPCO estimated the amount as less as possible, to ease people's mind.

Flood in Bangkok ／ バンコクの洪水

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is very popular among travelers because it has many sightseeing spots in the small area. As you know, these days, the city is suffering from a terrible flood, which is expected to last next four weeks. I heard that the international airport in Bangkok started to be affected by the flood at last. Although I don't know whether the airport functions with no problem or not under this circumstance, I think there is no doubt that the tourist industry of Bangkok seriously damaged.

タイの首都、バンコクは狭いエリアにたくさんの観光スポットがあるため、旅行者の間でとても人気があります。知っての通り、最近、バンコクはひどい洪水に襲われていて、それは今後４週間続くことが予想されています。ついにはバンコクの国際空港も洪水の影響を受け始めたと聞きました。僕はその空港がこの状況下で問題なく機能するのかどうか知りませんが、バンコクの観光産業がひどくダメージを受けていることは間違いないと、僕は思います。

Sukiya Robbery! ／ すき家強盗！

I often go to Sukiya, which is a Gyu-don restaurant chain especially when I'm very busy. In these two or three month, about ten robbery cases to Sukiya have been reported, if I remember correctly. Sukiya tends to be targeted by robberies because Sukiya is open 24 hours and some of them are located in suburbs. If a robbery breaks into Sukiya when I'm in it, how can I behave?

=====================================================

僕は牛丼レストランチェーンのすき家によく行きます。特にとても忙しいときに。この２、３ヶ月の間に、確か大体１０件ぐらいすき家への強盗がありました。すき家は２４時間開いていて、郊外の店もあるから、強盗に狙われがちです。もし自分がすき家にいるときに強盗が押し入ってきたら、どうしよう。
