25.12.2011 Merry Christmas! Hyvää Joulua! メリークリスマス!

2011-12-09T03:52:00.000+02:00

Autumn pictures from parks here. I would add some more later...

2011-12-09T03:01:00.000+02:00

Some panorama pictures with Samsung Galaxy S II and Autopano Pro here.

2011-12-09T02:47:00.000+02:00

View from Bunkyo civic center observatory deck. You can bigger version of panorama, from Mt.Fuji to Tokyo Sky tree here.

2011-12-06T12:58:00.000+02:00

23.11. Chiba Zoo was nice place to visit.

2011-12-06T10:34:00.000+02:00

22.11. So far I have seen two exhibitions here:
"Goya: Lights and shadows. Masterpieces of the Museo del Prado". I enjoyed the art of Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) very much.
"Honen and Shinran: Treasures Related to the Great Masters of the Kamakura Buddhism" was very crowded as you can see from pics.

2011-12-06T10:28:00.000+02:00

17.11. I visited Kita-Kamakura. I saw some new nice places. I always find something new and interesting from Kamakura area. I have always gotten "Kamakura Enoshima free kippu" to travel cheaply and easily there, but it does not seem to exist anymore...

2011-11-20T02:40:00.000+02:00

16.11.2011 Shinjyuku gyoen. Suuressa puistossa oli paljon nähtävää. Puista löytyi syksyn värejä koyo [Wikipedia] ja kukat kukkivat [Picasaweb].

2011-11-20T02:27:00.001+02:00

10.11.2011 International Robot Exhibition oli varsin vaikuttava. Robotteja ja robotiikan apuvälineitä ihmisile löytyi moneen käyttötarkoitukseen. Kuvassa eräs kävelyä avustava laite, joita oli myös monilla valmistajilla.

2011-11-20T02:17:00.000+02:00

9.11.2011 kävin kävelyllä Kasai Rinkai puistossa [Wikipedia] Siellä näkyi joitain halkeamia kaduissa ja muita pieniä merkkejä kevään maanjäristyksestä. Suihkulähde aseman luona oli entisellään.

2011-11-20T02:11:00.000+02:00

6.11.2011 Lotan leikkiessä puistossa otin kuvia kukkivasta puusta. En ole oikeastaan varma mistä puusta on kysymys. Puistoissa lähes kaikki kasvit ja puut on merkitty nimikilvin, mutta tästä en sellaista löytänyt.

2011-11-20T02:07:00.000+02:00

29.10.2011 saavuin taas Japaniin perheeni luokse. Kohtasin tutuja näkymiä ja maisemia. Kotona keittiössä tsukemonon [Wikipedia] valmistus toi tuttuja tuoksuja. Tämä tsukemono sisälsi: kurkkua, daikon-retikkaa ja porkkanaa sekä tietysti suolaa.

2010-12-26T13:38:00.000+02:00

On 14th of December I visited some of my favourite places. Bunkyo Civic Center for nice view and LaQua to get Finnish style bread from Moomin cafe.

2010-12-26T13:34:00.000+02:00

Finnair had strike, so I had to change my plans to visit Japan. I could get flight after strike ended 10th of December.

2010-08-15T21:37:00.001+03:00

10.7.2010 oli minulla taas tilaisuus nähdä Wanhan Woiman veteraanikonepäivät Oulaisissa. Täällä kuvia.

2010-04-18T02:18:00.000+03:00

18th of April. Still in Japan... I could not fly to Finland as scheduled, because of volcano in Iceland. I visited Narita airport anyway with Miki. We could get some information, have good lunch and I could have good haircut. It was good to visit there anyway. I would return to home and continue my work as soon as possible...

2010-04-08T15:33:00.000+03:00

Third day was best. I checked out from hotel at 7. I saw many places. First was Arashiyama and last was "light up" at Nijo-castle. Every place was very, very crowded and it was impossible to get bus. I had to take taxi couple of times, but it was not very expensive.

2010-04-08T15:28:00.000+03:00

Weather report said second day (Friday) would be rainy in Kyoto. I decided to check Nara again. I liked Nara very much on my last visit. When I arrived to Nara, rain stopped. Nara is famous for deers. As you notice, they do not care about trafic lights...

2010-04-08T15:23:00.000+03:00

Last week I visited Kyoto. First day was cloudy. I visited Meruyama koen, Yasaka shrine, Kiyomizu-dera and Sanju Sangen-do. Cherry blossoms and many other flowers were very beautiful.

2010-03-31T04:17:00.000+03:00

31th of March I visited Shinjuku gyoen again. Cherry blossoms there still need some warm days... There was lot's of people having hanami or just taking pictures. Tonight, I would go to Kyoto.

2010-03-28T02:34:00.000+02:00

Second place I visited 27th of March was Ichigaya. There was nice small park with many people having hanami.

2010-03-28T02:31:00.000+02:00

27th on March I visited two places. First Kudanshita and Yasukuni shine. Days was sunny, but not very warm, around 12 degrees...

2010-03-28T02:26:00.000+02:00

24th of March I visited Ueno Park. There was many people just walking or having hanami. I walked a lot and enjoyed nice, but cold weather.

2010-03-22T14:34:00.000+02:00

Today, March 22th I saw first sakura this year at Shinjuku Gyoen national garden. It was very beautiful. I would put more pictures later...

2010-03-20T02:45:00.000+02:00

It was nice to see again places I been in many, many times... Like Maihama station and Ikspiari.

2010-03-20T02:41:00.000+02:00

I't almost one week since I left Finland. To all wanting to know: my family here is doing fine. Lotta is growing up fast.

Here is one panorama from Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden which is located near Hamamatsucho station (Yamanote line).

2010-01-02T09:40:00.000+02:00

Happy New Year!
あけましておめでとうございます!
Hyvää Uutta vuotta!
To all friends etc. everyhere!

2009-10-14T15:32:00.001+03:00

26.9.2009. It was time to return to Finland. We had very good breakfast at Denny's near Narita airport. I had my favorite things (in picture) with American coffee, green tea and Pink lemonade.

2009-10-14T15:28:00.001+03:00

25.9.2009 On my last day in Urayasu, I took a walk around our area. There is many beautiful places and fountains near our home. It was a perfect and sunny day. I could see Fuji-san from our balcony.

2009-10-14T15:25:00.001+03:00

20.9.2009. We had nice trip to Atami. Lotta enjoyed beach very much. We all enjoyed very good dinner and breakfast in New Fujiya hotel. On our way home, we visited Samukawa-temple. There I had very good potato with butter and salt...

2009-09-18T05:39:00.001+03:00

17.9.2009 Ueno zoo. I could see the last giant panda last year about 1 month before it died... I missed the elephants yesterday, because they went to sleep early, I think... I hope Lotta-chan would enjoy seeing many animals from video I took. I had good dinner at Irish pub at Ueno station: fish and chips with grapefruit juice.

2009-09-18T05:33:00.000+03:00

16.9.2009 Yokohama. This sign in China Town looks little like Santa Claus? I had good day walking in China town, Yamashita park and Minato Mirai. I could find osampo bus and my feet could take nice rest with 100 yen. I would try to put more pictures and maybe video later...

2009-09-18T05:29:00.000+03:00

14.9.2009 Tokyo Tower. I do not have many days left here anymore. Of course, I would like to see as much Tokyo as possible. I could see many places from Tokyo Tower. I took many panorama pictures and this is one of them.

2009-09-18T05:23:00.000+03:00

10.9.2009 I could take a nice trip to Kamakura area. I got "Kamakura Enoshima free kippu" from Maihama station. Tokaido line is fast and I did not need much time before I arrived to Fujisawa. Frome there I took Enoden line. It is very good way to travel in that area. With free kippu I got from Maihama, I did not need to worry about getting tickets. Beach in Enoshima was empty, only some surfers. It is autumn already. Buddha in Hase was as big as ever. In Kamakura I had dinner in Saizeriya and got some omiyage for Lotta. Lotta likes fruits and vegetables she can cut in her toy kitchen.

2009-08-31T07:53:00.000+03:00

Friday 29.8.2009 was sunny day. Perfect day to take a walk by Sumida river in Tsukiji. I went there by subway: Tozai line first, then changed to Hibya line in Kayabacho. I walked many hours, but there was many places to take a rest. My camera felt heavy on my bag. I could get some pictures to look at after tiresome trip.

2009-08-30T13:13:00.000+03:00

Yesterday 29.8.2009 I saw Asakusa Samba Carnival for the first time. It was even more crowded than I thought... Fortunately, I could find a less crowded side street where dancers walked. Finally, I could get some pictures...

2009-08-30T12:50:00.000+03:00

I had busy day 26th of August. First I visited Tokyo National Museum in Ueno. I saw two wonderful exhibitions: Ise Jingu and Treasures of Shinto and SOMETSUKE - The flourishing of underglaze blue porcelain ware in Asia. Then I went to Otsuka to see matsuri. My feet were tired so I did not see it for a long time...

2009-08-30T12:35:00.000+03:00

12.8.2009 we visited Odaiba. Weather was nice. This seems to be good place to take pictures of airplanes taking off from Haneda airport. Lotta enjoyed playing with fountain.

2009-08-30T12:22:00.000+03:00

I have visited LaQua and Bunkyo Civic Center many, many times. I felt "natsukasii" seeing Moomin Cafe and view from 25th floor of Civic Center 17.8.2009.

2009-08-09T12:33:00.000+03:00

About a week a go, I came home from short trip to Kyoto. Kyoto was beautiful and interesting, as usual. This time, it was also very hot. It feels much hotter there than in Urayasu. Kinkaku-ji was of course one place I had to see again. Some new places I visited were: Toei Uzumasa Eiga mura, Byōdō-in and Togetsukyō-bridge in Arashiyama. I had very good matcha-tea at Kanraku Hanago, Japanese Sweets House. Beautiful places and friendly people of Kyoto made trip unforgetable.

More pictures...

2009-07-15T05:02:00.000+03:00

12.7.2009. Narita Gion matsuri. It was as great even as last time in 2006. I spend all day there. Matsuri continued until late at night, but my feet were tired enough around 19:00. I enjoyed it very much.

I hope you enjoy my pictures.

2009-07-15T03:56:00.000+03:00

4.7.2009 I visited Tanabata [Wikipedia], star festival in Hiratsuka. I took Tōkaidō line [Wikipedia] from Tokyo station, just like when I visited Atami or Kamakura.

This festivall was maybe the most colourful one I have seen. I spend many hours walking there.

You can see the rest from my pictures.

I have been here soon 3 weeks. Days seem to pass by fast. Next weekend: Atami.

2009-01-05T18:44:00.000+02:00

Kolme vuotta sitten ei ollut yhtä aurinkoisia päiviä, kuin viime aikoina. Minun ja Mikin kuvissa Kuusamosta ei aurinkoa näy.

Huomenna on Loppiainen ja joulu ohi. Kaksi edellistä joulua vietin Japanissa. Tänä jouluna vaimoni ja tyttäreni avasivat lahjapakettejani ja söivät Ginza Cozy Cornerin täytetekakkua kaukana täältä. Minä otin kuvia joulun ajasta Suomessa heidän ihmeteltäväkseen.

Kuvia joulusta.

Hollolan keskiaikatapahtuma muistuttaa mienua jotenkin matsureista Japanissa. Tapahtumilta löytyy kaksi yhtäläisyyttä: ruokaa naposteltavaksi ja osa osanottajista on pukeutunut perinteisiin asuihin. Tämä oli toinen kerta kun vierailin tässä tapahtumassa. Edellinen kerta oli muistaakseni 2005. Louhisaaren juoma maistui hyvältä helteisenä päivänä. Lotta saa tuomiset myöhemmin.

Lappeenrannan hiekkalinnan näin ensi kerran tänä vuonna, vaikka se ei kovin kaukana olekaan. Aurinkoisena päivänä ihan mukava kuvauskohde.

2008-08-10T17:50:00.000+03:00

Wanhan Woiman veteraanikonepäivät Oulaisissa ovat mielenkiintoisimpia tapahtumia Suomessa. Sen monipuolisuus tekee siitä nautittavan. Tänä vuonna ehdin siellä käväisemään. Kuvia reissulta tuli, mutta ne eivät kerro tapahtuman tunnelmasta eivätkä varsinkaan äänimaailmasta.

Viime viikonloppuna kävin katsomassa Suur-Saimaan ympäriajoja Puumalassa. Viime vuonna kävin samassa paikassa. Paljon hienoja vanhoja autoja oli tänäkin vuonna. Monet autot toivat muistoja mieleen. Isälläni oli 70-luvulla Triumph Herald, mutta se ei ollut avoauto.

I left Japan 4.2. Spring was there just at it's best. Sakura was very beautiful in Urayasu.

Spring is coming in Finland too, but slowly. I made this time-lapse video some weeks ago. This is my first try with time-lapse.

2008-03-24T05:05:00.000+02:00

Photo Imaging Expo 2008 was held last week. I visited there this year too. It was nice to see all kinds of new cameras and many other things. Some pictures from this years Expo.

2008-02-27T04:27:00.000+02:00

Sping is here. Ume blossom season has started. I have visited several parks to see ume, but maybe next week ume would be more beautiful. This picture is from one shrine that is famous for ume: Yushima tenjin. Today is again very windy, around 10 m/s. Some train lines are late because of the wind. Last saturday I took train from Tokyo to Maihama. Train needed about 2 hours more than normally... When I finally could come home, weather report said wind was sometimes over 30 m/s...

2008-01-16T05:08:00.000+02:00

Last Saturday was a cold, windy and rainy day. I did not care about the weather, because my plan was to visit one of my favourite events in Japan, Tokyo Auto Salon 2008. Outside was cold, but inside Makuhari Messe was very, very warm. I spent almost 7 hours looking at all kinds of cars, engines, wheels etc. Car in picture was not one of my favourites there, but I think it gives good idea about nature of this event. My feet were tired after walking all day when I headed for home, but I was happy to be able be there and see what I saw.

Natsukashii...

This is very familiar view to me... Tokyo from 25th floor of Bunkyo Civic Center... I already have good memories from Tokyo, so I can say now "natsukashii", when I see Fuji-san, our local shop or even osampo bus...

After many months I am back in Tokyo, back with my family. I could see my daughter for the first time last week. It was very wonderful moment. I would get to know her and she would get to know papa-san from now on :).

2007-06-23T19:00:00.000+03:00

It is now Juhannus, Midsummer day. I think summer is most beautiful season in Finland. At the moment it is rainy season in Japan. I like all seasons in Japan. In spring there is lots of flowers: ume, sakura and many others. During rainy season there is lot of Hydrangea, which is one of my favourite flowers. Summer is very hot in Japan, but there are many interesting events. Autumn brings "koyo", that is like "ruska" in Finland; very beautiful. During winter there are many clear days without smog and it is easy to see Fuji-san.

This picture is taken in maybe the most beautiful beach I know in Finland: Huuharanta. Miki was about two weeks in Finland and we visited some of my favourite places: Utula, Puumala, Ristiina, Savonlinna, Punkaharju and so on. We enjoyed seeing lots of blue lakes.

2007-04-25T04:16:00.000+03:00

The weather in Tokyo has been unusual: rainy and cloudy. Sakura season has ended so I have time to visit some museums. Last week I saw The mind of Leonardo at Tokyo National Museum. I have already seen many exhibitions, but this was special in some ways... I have been interested in Leonardo da Vinci's art and life as long as I can remember. Security was exceptional: My ticket was checked at the gate, then outside hall in the beginning of exhibition, then I walked through metal detector, which beeped... I had to show my keys and coins and ticket and after that... show my ticket once more :). Now I and many, many other people could see one (1) painting: Annunciation. I could look at it about 4 minutes from distance and maybe 30 seconds at close distance. This was natural, because hundreds of others wanted to see it too. It was a wonderful, but short experience. Then I continued to other building where second part of exhibition was located. I needed to show my ticket once more. Second part concentrated on Leonardo's life, inventions and many other things. All in all, this exhibition was worth waiting for. http://www.leonardo2007.jp/en/

2007-04-06T14:38:00.000+03:00

Sakura in Urayasu is still okay, but not in best condition anymore.... Today I got answer for my question about my website Naturalfinland.net from website host Easlinehost. One of their servers had PSU failure so they lost my website and they had to restore a backup... But their backup appears to be about 6 months old... It means some data was lost and I do not have backup... I would rebuild and update our website when I have time. Luckily, our picturegallery at ArtoLovesMiki.net has different host :).

2007-03-30T01:49:00.000+03:00

Many people, both japanese and gaijin, had hanami yesterday at Ueno park under sakura trees. For most of them it meant drinking beer or sake :). For me it meant taking many pictures :).

2007-03-29T02:00:00.000+03:00

I looked forward seeing lots of sakura in Kamakura, but it was too early yesterday (wednesday). I had a very nice day there anyway, because there was lot of flowers. Kamakura is one of my favourite places in Japan so far :).

2007-03-29T01:56:00.000+03:00

Here is Hibya park on tuesday...

2007-03-29T01:54:00.000+03:00

I visited two places on tuesday for sakura... This is Kokyo (Imperial Garden).

2007-03-28T02:28:00.000+03:00

I was not dissapointed :):). More pictures soon....

2007-03-28T02:27:00.000+03:00

On Monday I visited Shinjuku Gyoen for sakura :).

2007-03-25T05:04:00.000+03:00

At the moment biggest news in Japan is earthquake, jishin (地震) in Ishikawa. At the moment 1 people has dies and 40 has been injured. It seem earthquakes are continuing there. Some people are under their collapsed houses and some people are trapped in elevators. I noticed MTV3 has earthquake news in Finland also. In Japan there was now news in for example AOL yet... News in Finland said that earthquake was noticed in Tokyo, but we did not notice anything. We have spend this sunday morning watching our favourite DVD: Onmyoji. I do hope we would not have earthquake here... News about earthquake continue in TV... There is no electricity, trains do not run in Ishikawa...

2007-03-16T07:29:00.000+02:00

I think sakura is news every morning in these days. Scientist are trying to predict when sakura appears. Today I saw one sakura tree in Takao on the TV. Yesterday Miki found this information about sakura yesterday: Asakusa, Ueno, Shinjuku and Harajuku - 22/3, Samukawa and Yokohama - 23/3, Kamakura 26/3, Takasaki - 29/3, Hitachi - 31/3, Takao 5/4 and Aizu 12/4. Almost every morning some company or politician says "gomenasai" on TV, because they have made mistake or done something wrong. Recently there was a mistake in sakura predictions... And there was a group of men saying "gomenasai".

2007-03-16T07:21:00.000+02:00

Fuji-san is very important to Japanese people. There are many high places in Tokyo area where you can see Mt.Fuji on a clear weather. I have visited some high places already. For example Bunkyo Civic Center, Tokyo Tower, Chiba Port Tower, SunShine City and World Trade Center. I climbed on Takao-san on monday 12th of March. It was a long walk, but the view was worth it :). As you can see, Fuji-san was very beautiful. I needed almost hours from home to the nearest station. I took Chuo-line from Tokyo station to Shinjuku and there I took Keio Takao line to Takaosan-Guchi station. I got express train so it took only 50 minutes from Shinjuku to Takaosan-Guchi. Then I took a cable car and walked then about 1,5 hours. There were no English signs and no maps... At one point I was not sure what path to take... So I asked directions from Japanese man who was taking pictures of flowers. He was also going there. He could speak some words of English and I could understand some words of Japanese so we could talk. On my way back I took the first train I could... It was local train and it took 1,5 hours to get back to Shinjuku station... Miki and dinner were waiting for me at home :).

Wednesday, 14th of March was last sunny day on this week so far. I visited Shinjuku Gyoen again. Almost all Ume has already dissappeared, but there was still some left. As you can see it was very sunny day :). I happened to meet a finnish couple there. They told flights from Finland to Japan are now very cheap. Skype has made my contacts to Finland easy. I could get a call from my old friend Janne to my japanese keitai there.

It is still season of Ume blossom. I visited Koishikawa Botancal Gardens just for that reason. It is one of my favourite gardens in every season in Tokyo. It did not fail me this time either. I could see more than just Ume blossom... this bird worked hard to find some food :).
More pictures from Koishikawa Botanical gardens...

2007-03-09T01:43:00.001+02:00

We saw less than half of Tokyo Disney sea on one day... We would visit there once more during spring. Only shortcoming we could find was food... In most restaurants in Japan we have visited dishes are at least good... but when there is no other choice, restauants in Tokyo Disney sea are also good ;). Anyway we had a wonderful and funny day there :). Their homepage...
More pictures from Tokyo Disney Sea...

2007-03-09T01:33:00.000+02:00

Shows outside were equally impressive... They used water and fire beautifully. They did not forget dancing and music that is familiar from Disneyland parades... But you needed binoculars or camera with long zoom-lens to see it... It was okay for me :).

2007-03-09T01:29:00.000+02:00

On Sunday, March 4th, we visited Tokyo Disney Sea for the first time together. I think it is even more impressive than Tokyo Disneyland... It was a sunny say and there was lot of people. On picture you can see one show. We had to see it two times, because we liked it very much :).

2007-02-18T04:30:00.000+02:00

I visited Ochanomizu earlier this week. There are some interesting places near Ochanomizu station. I think this Kanda-river is also nice.

St.Nikolai Cathedral is an orthodox church. Pictures from St.Nikolai Cathedral...

Yushima Tenjin is a Shinto shrine. Yushima Tenjin homepage.

Kanda Myoujin is also a Shinto shrine. It is located near Yushima Tenjin. Homepage.

We still have cold days in Tokyo, Japan. But, the days are getting longer and longer. Ume blossoms have begun to bloom. Some parks in the Tokyo area are now beautiful. You can see many busy photographers there :).

According to the television weather report, spring would come earlier than usual. It means that cherry blossoms would begin to bloom earlier. Many Japanese people would have drinking parties under cherry trees. I am sure that my bosses would enjoy "their drinking parties" under the trees :). I do hope that they would also enjoy the cherry blossoms :).

2007-02-18T03:54:00.000+02:00

One of the nicest parks in Tokyo area is located near Hamamatsucho station. Kyu-Shibarikyu Onshi Teien (Garden) is a good place to take pictures of ume blossom.

Yesterday some trains stopped running because of strong wind. It meant Miki could not use same station as usual... It also meant that I had to wait for almost an hour on this long line for bus, because I was in station waiting for Miki and shopping... I took this picture with my mobilephone. I could see this long line at news when I got finally at home...

Yesterday was Valentine's day. In Japan women give gifts, mostly chocolate, to men on that day. I could get this chocolate from my wife. I also got chocolate from one of my wife's co-worker. On White day, March 14th, men give women cake or chocolate. Actually, I got strawberry cake yesterday from Iksipairi. Why wait until next month :).

Happy Valentine's day! Hyvää Ystävänpäivää!
Now it is Ume blossom season in Tokyo area. We have had very sunny days recently. Now it is rainy day and I have time to update our homepage.

One of the best places I have found to see Ume blossoms is Shinjuku Gyoen national garden.

In this picture you can see okazari. In Japan many people people put them to porches, cars and many other places on new year.
