ETC

Today,Last PRIDE by DSE is held in SAITAJMA

maybe someone come to Japan to watch this PRIDE as house

I recommend sight seeing Cherry(SAKURA) .
Tokyo's season will finish soon.maybe Saitama keep blossoms


this is my old article

Now,Japan has many many beautiful Cherry blossom.
Ordinary speaking,best time for cherry in Tokyo is April,
But in This year,best time is early,now.

In Japan,Cherry blossom(Sakura) is symbol of Japan.
And SAMURAI and Bushido's Symbol.
Live and Death.


ALL people love it,
From Noble Highness to poor lowclass love it.


"SAKURABA " means"Cherry blossom garden".
Maybe His ansestor have something to do with manage of garden.
The best place for Cherry watching is UENO park.
It is loved by Tokyo people from Shogun's goverment period.

There are Big ZOO,Giant panda also live in it.


This is near KOURAKUEN Hall(about 10 minutes by Train).
For example,If you go to Pancrase March 29th evenning,

You had better take a walk Uenopark before it.

                                                                                                                                  • -
