Kobe trip

Last month we had a trip to Kobe, Hyogo.
Kobe is one of representative port town of Japan, and have so nice atmosphere at stores and streets.

One of the Kobe styles store is mature.
They started to run as an original selected hat store almost ten years ago, and now they produce their original design hats “mature ha”.

Their outstanding work is the BOXED HAT that it is possible to put the straw hat in the paper box.
Theses hat is coming on pipperoo.jp soon !!

One of the most interesting feature in Kobe is that the shops and galleries still use the pleasant old building by renovating, so the building and street have their unique atmosphere.

 

Luv Kobe style.

Weekend relaxed event “OHAYO CAFE”

Last summer we took part in the OHAYO CAFE that my friend organized the weekend relaxed event.
Artists and workers in the field of several categories usually gather together at this event.
And that time we went to the camping area close to Mt. Fuji.

Some people open the hair salon under the sky:)

There is a play space for children.

And some horses are in the stable.

The tree house is made by hand.

“GOEMON BURO”. You could soak in the bathtub outside.

And a soft cream shop:) yummy…

Handmade candles.

It’s so relaxed time and nice atmosphere very close to nature.
Hope you have a great day.

Trip to Paris

A while back I’ve been to Paris, and hung out there while between meeting and meeting…

At the end of June, arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
It looks like a neo-futuristic establishment, as there are lots of escalators. in the airport.

It will get dark after 10 pm during summer in Paris, so most of guys have a dinner while it’s still light out.

Seeing a couple of the great sights

A lots of beautiful classic architecture makes me think about culture and history.
My favorite point of a trip is like this point.

continue a trip…
