Yegenaga Travel & Tours Guide

When someone shows a recording secretary at the roses, I was immediately interested. Seeing their interest was kind enough to download and give me a print-out map, and how to reach these places, Aramaki Rose Garden.

I brought two of my colleagues Thailand and Timor Leste. I always click with these girls you talk to the problem of interest, it’s just always I take them to relax in enjoying something grasa grusu not understand that young energy is great.

Not difficult to reach these places, we just have to switch vehicles instead. Monorail train rates to Hankyu train. Saw me holding a map, a man Jp asking if we were going to the Rose Garden. top side dish arrived as the proverbial wither. Our direction, he took us walk together and talk did not seem, was still pretty much about 1 km on foot. My colleagues from Thailand laugh he “Well Eazy in the map, difficult in reality”, “look at the map it seems easy, try it later on in the field”, about that point.

The air in the month of May was cool and overcast with a little drizzling. Along the way to the Rose Garden it was marked with roses in full bloom with color color fantastic. Jp male friends but our trip was to say there will be much more beautiful, when she saw we had wanted to take pictures. And it is true in front of us lay a sea of roses!

From the website of Aramaki rose garden, flower garden, located in the area Aramaki, Itami-shi, Hyogo-ken-Osaka was established in 1992. Roses bloom in mid / late May – early June in the Spring and / or in mid-October to early November (fall).

Going to this park does not have to pay parking tickets except for ¥ 500, and do not come on Tuesday because it closed the park. In this park there are monuments in the form of a giant peace pillar 3 red fruit that symbolizes freedom, equality and love of humanity in a single unit.

In the middle of the park is the southern pillar of the European-style pool is equipped with a water square nodes. In an area of 1.7 hectares there are 250 kinds of trees rose 10,000,  not play. I immediately thought of the animated movie “The Beauty and the Beast”, perhaps this is the park where the Beast lives ugly in these tales, really made me forget myself, so beautifully. I chose some pict colors and types of roses that we rarely find to  and as far as possible equipped with a name.

Bologna, with a tinge of purple roses, round, somewhat thick, grown in the form of short shrubs.

This is the kind of sentimental roses  there are red with a white streak, streaked orange with white, pink like this, the alloy base streaked in bright colors.

Because entry into this park is free of charge so much per day day, children who live around the park to play here, fortunately, these kids know and do not damage the beauty of flowers. Also the elderly to walk the street here to enjoy the beauty of the rose garden.

In this Jp I’m so glad to see the elderly couple always walked the road together, where where, in the park let alone, really really like mimi Ian mintuno (a pair of turtles turtles holding each other)., what a sight to grow old with him.

The pairs do not ask again, many here, just jealous  make. Well if I had spoken at the rose garden like this must have forgotten the ocean and going right out and say “yes”, does not need to say, “give me a month to think”. Let’s see pict above and below, a shy shy but affectionate. Ah ah coupled with a drizzling rain falling, making the heart just added shivering,.

Below I show the white French Lace roses dangling from pregola, just imagine if the couple was photographed at the bottom, , every time he saw probably would not uttered the word divorce. Moreover, holding the Queen Elizabeth roses rain-spattered.

Purple roses? Is there? Roses named Blue bajou this fragrant and smooth as velvet, bed little elf. Pink roses with a red tip with the given name of Nicole, is there any artist portrays a gentle Nicole Kidman? Maybe.

Exactly as a guide, we came and took the pict in the morning, fresh, bright despite drizzling. The three of us exchanged files, total pict we take no ± 600, luckily it does not use film cameras anymore so good luck ceprat origin. I do not know where the results cepretanku, Alice colleague from East Timor or Athitta from Thailand.

Lots of types of roses here and some even 20 cm in diameter, brown roses and rose-called “black tea” but not the color black. Brass band roses colorful orange and yellow are the simple, Yellow Simplicity.

How pretty, I asked “Is there in heaven there is a beautiful rose garden?”, My friend replied “It is beautiful and certainly more than this”

harajuku Small, I once read a story in children’s magazine, which I thought only fairy tales. A dog every morning led his master to the train station. Afternoon, the dog will pick up at the same station. Until one day, the master of the dog that died on the job. But the dog did not know, and continue to meet his master every evening until 10 years old.

It was not a fictional tale. Hachiko, a loyal dog that belonged to Professor Ueno, a professor at Tokyo University who died on May 21, 1925. He is a male dog race of the birth Odate Akita Inu, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Eventually Hachiko became known population of Shibuya Station. Many people said there is only a pity to see the dog who was about to meet his master who did not come. Since the year 1934, one year before he died, in front of Shibuya Station and statues erected.

Now, the place became a meeting point of the people of Tokyo. Many young people are seen standing, leaning against the wall, or sitting around the statue of Hachiko, waiting for her date while couples in activities such as moving around very quickly by passing people and vehicles back and forth.

Beyond that, lots of interesting things in Tokyo, especially if we look at the way people dress. Naturally, then there is the term that Tokyo is one of the City Fashionista. And indeed, the population of Tokyo are generally literate fashion. At each corner of a shopping mall called Shibuya 109 in the area, seen young children dressed in very modern. They remind me of the Japanese doll my uncle giving about 20 years ago. It’s just a completely different costume. Now instead of a kimono and Japanese clogs they wear long-sleeved shirts, short skirts, coat, stockings colorful patterned variation, and a pair of high-heeled boots. The boy did not lose her style: Dandy and funky. I noticed their shoes and think, no one who did not heed the Tokyo shoe. Of the overall style, the shoe seems to be an important part that should never be considered negligent.

harajukuPada autumn when I was there, boot it into the main choice. Various models for sale starting price Bot 2000 yen (approximately USD 240 thousand) up to tens of thousands of yen. Some animals use fur as a scarf covering the neck. Their hair dyed black with a non-modern pieces, some even had the make-over his face with a brown powder, so memorable tanned skin. I think the term “death style” best describes a newcomer who only long dress for warmth.

From Shibuya Station, I boarded the train in the city to Harajuku. Some people seemed to relax reading a book, either sitting or standing. Here, people accustomed to reading the book cover to cover with cover from bookstore. Usually, the brown cover and no name of his shop. If not, some intentionally covered it with white paper. Culture of reading a book seems common in Japan.

Along the way, bookstores, second-hand (flea?) Also live. If you diligently seek him, even the Harry Potter books last series hardcover English version can also get it for only 500 yen (approximately Rp. 60 thousand). Most of the books they carry a pocket-sized book, both comic and non-comic. They read books even while on the escalator train station and subway. Once the ladder way up, tuck in their book bag to read again later.

Less than ten minutes from Shibuya, I arrived at Harajuku station. Actually could walk, but because of the way to Harajuku up the hill, so I chose the train. Harajuku so famous name in Indonesia because of the singer Maia claimed Estianti dressed young area. Once outside the station, I immediately saw a sea of people on Takeshita Street. Several young boys with spikey hair look was standing. That’s where the Harajuku kids allegedly bought clothes at a low price, starting from 350 yen up to a few thousand yen.

harajukuKetika into the Takeshita Street, the new me there ngeh store that sells used clothing and apparel stores one price (all the clothes for 500 yen). Young children Harajuku berdandanan far more extreme than Maia. They are stylish a la Goth, punk, costumed animals, and Barbie-girl/boy. Strangely, though they dare to dress up extreme, but most embarrassed photographed. Shops along the street was filled with a young child, either shopping or working as a salesman, shouting and carrying signs promoting or distributing leaflets with a bonus pack of tissue-, all extreme style. In addition to Japanese people, black people, too many in there. With limited Japanese language, and their friendly smiles invited guests entered. Generally, those blacks manage specialty shops selling clothing and accessories of hip-hop.

Harajuku is his Bronx Japan. This is where point “rebellion” from all official attitudes and ungguh upload-Japanese style. This is the only area that the servants are not shop always say “irasainase” (welcome) to visitors. Very different from the Ginza district or Roponggi, the goods in Harajuku can be obtained at a price much cheaper. When in Japan is very hard to get pirated goods, then in the Harajuku area (actually in Takeshita Street) Just the possibility of pirated goods are traded. To some extent it reminded me of Blok M, Jakarta.

At the end of Takeshita Street, crossed a little, that’s Harajuku Street, which reminded me of Bandung. If the Takeshita Street sell goods taken from the supplier, then in Harajuku Street independent stores (distros) that sells clothing and even the design itself scattered in small gangs. Some stores that sell clothing and accessories a la India, Hindu / Buddhist, and Native Americans (Indians) wedged between shops clothing Barbie-girl/boy.

Still on the Harajuku area, near parks, street musicians serving skill. Each flow of music have their own territory and not mutually . It is said, that’s where Japanese bands discovered his talent by the producers. Not only that, some fans of Elvis Presley a high  hair was also seen dancing on the edge of the park to the accompaniment of songs Presley.

harajukuDi lounger looks lazy beggar on the bench. A suitcase full of belongings, as well as piles of boxes that seem to be sleeping mats, arranged neatly in there. He himself was lying on fat bag while reading a book. A friend from Indonesia who was in Japan a long time to explain, those who became a beggar, if not for really lazy so poor, many having no family. By becoming beggars, they can be in community and had many friends.

Prayer of Hope at Meiji Shrine

Park near Harajuku area, there is a large gate to the Meiji Shrine. The temple will be full of people especially in the new year, when the adherents of Shinto prayer asking for blessing in the beginning of the year. Road about a mile before I go to see the end of the Shrine Shinto gate. Sacred atmosphere immediately enveloped me. Seen ravens flying through the trees artificial forest. It is said that people donating thousands of trees to create artificial forest toward the temple.

Piles of sake with different drum ornaments on display not far from the first gate to the temple, opposite the drum stack wine (drink angur). Adherents of Shinto in Japan believe that drinking alcohol is to clean one’s body and soul. There are some big gates of starch-shaped “door” which must pass before reaching the final gate.

Entering the last gate, everyone should wash their hands and rinse out his mouth in a very cold spring which had supplied. Small long-handled scoop made from bamboo lined the edges. When he entered the temple, visitors have to step over the highest rung for stepping prohibited. Cause to believe that the highest rung is the position of gods.

Sacredness or mystique might like  in place. Look at how a store that sells a variety of charms surrounded by visitors. Ranging from light fetish mate, a lot of luck, good mascot sold on the street with colorful packaging. Some people look to buy a board called for prayer tablets 500 yen. Suddenly I remembered the Oprah show topic Talkshow”dream come true”; several guest star confessed to write their goals on a bulletin board and display them for yourself that dream. In the courtyard of the temple, exactly on the right before the entrance, the thousands of tablets of prayer depends on the board plays that have been provided.

harajuku each tablet bearing the hopes and ideals of the author. Reading other people’s expectations suddenly become entertainment for the tourists, especially English-speaking expectations. Japanese people who come and write a prayer tablets are usually students who will pass the test and hope. I also read a tablet which dreams of becoming famous manga Duck artists in order to help her mother.

Inside the temple, the most interesting to me is a box called “waka”. With 100 yen, visitors can take a small roll of paper containing a poem Emperor Meiji contents to reflect the personality and advise the Decision Paper. Some people seemed to pray after the coin toss hole (5 yen or 50 yen), while the priests seemed undisturbed seliweran occasional visitors to take photographs.
