Posted in: Mayor considering increasing Himeji Castle entry fees for overseas visitors See in context
Strike Himeji Castle off my bucket list. I've lived in Japan for 18 years. Not only will I never visit your castle, Mayor Hideyasu Kiyomoto, I will go out of my way to make sure I never spend a yen in Hyogo prefecture again. It was one of my favorite places to go. Your greed is despicable. I still haven't seen Okayama, Ehime, and I want to see Osaka and Hiroshima again, and it will be my first time to travel in the Shikoku prefectures. Sayanora Hyogo.

Posted in: Lawyers' group urges Tokyo to halt park development, calling its impact review unscientific See in context
Although the Tokyo government has never formally suspended the project, the developers have voluntarily delayed portions of it, including the felling of trees, presumably due the outcry. The main developer Mitsui Fudosan has said it is reexamining the project's effects on nearby gingko trees and is working to improve transparency and communication with the public to gain their understanding.
How about getting some Ministers for Foreign Affairs with knowledge of SGDs from other countries to assess what's going on and what SHOULD happen for the benefit of ALL?

Posted in: Tourism and Mount Fuji's rocky recovery after COVID See in context
I climbed Mt Fuji before it became a UNESCO World Heritage in June 2013. The first time was 1990, the second time was 1992. I got off a bus at the 5th station both times. I bought a pole that I could collect stamps on both times. There was a fair amount of climbers and I joined the crowd. There were a lot of elderly people. I stopped at almost every station to drink some warm sake or green tea. I never rushed. I knew that if you get up to the peak too early you're going to freeze to death. Neither time did that happen. I got to the peak about 10 - 15 minutes before the sun rose. That's why you stop at the stations. I got some great pictures and although it was cold, the sun cheered up everyone. Both times, I left probably about 6-7am and walked down the mountain. I think I got a bus back to the train station about 10-11am or so. Both climbs were a pleasure. The UN and the municipal governments have ruined the charm of this climb as they whine about money and gaijins not understanding anything. My climbing days are probably finished, but who knows.
