Night Bus

Since a bullet train, i.e. a super express train, called as "Shinkan-sen" is one of the famoustransportation system in Japan, many foreigners asked me to give them an opportunity to experience it.

However today I would like to introduce another unique transportation vehicle: night bus.
Please see the night-bus photo that I have just took from Osaka to Tokyo yesterday.

There are two lines of sheet in the bus, and each sheet is designed like a capsule for your comfortable sleeping!!

The space of the sheet is almost same as a business sheet in an airplane, however it is 5 times cheaper than air ticket! When you take the bus at 23:00 p.m. form Tokyo, your will reach most of major cities in Japan at 7:00 a.m. next morning.


Many people, especially for young men/women use the night bus.
Please try to take the night bus so that you are familiarize with the Japanese younger generation, because We Love Japan!!!

Japanese Brand-new Technology No.2 - Water Oven -

When you hear a word of "oven", what kinds of oven pop up in your mind?

Gas oven? Electric oven? or Microwave oven?

I bought the below brand-new oven in Japan. The appearance is just same as a standard microwave oven, however this oven equipped with an advanced technology developed by SHARP Corp, which is called as "Water-Oven".

Water-Oven!

Can you imagine that water can warm, grill, roast and sometimes fry food??

Yes We Can!!

The principle of mechanism is this:

When water is heated up more than 100 degree Celsius, it is turned into steam, then steam is heated up furthermore, the steam become "heating vapor". Since this heating vapor has latent heat of 539cal/g, it can transmit the heat to substances by contacting. That is why water can be the leading role of an oven.

Water-Oven has mainly three advantages compare with other heat-oven technologies.

1) Cutting fat

Thanks to heating vapor, foods are swiftly heated up; consequently any fat inside of the food are dissolved and flow away.

2) Desalt

The condensed heating vapor, which lost it latent heat and became dew on the food, can absorb salt and remove it from the food.

3) Preservation of nutrients

Because the inside of oven is saturated with heating vapor, airless circumstances is made. Accordingly, oxidization of oil in the foods are prevented, then as a result, nutrients are preserved.

Now I enjoy healthy meals thanks to Water-Oven!

Let's join the new life style with us, because We Love Japan!!

(Please refer to the details in the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam)

For many years, Japanese tehcnical experts wish to produce a real GUNDAM, and finally our Japanese technology has realized their dream as per the below pitcture!!

Can you imagine this GUNDAM* is 18 meters tall in height and 35,000kg in weight equiped with laser bean weapons!! No nuclear attacks can devastate Japan, no invaders can conquer Japan, because we have GUNDAM!!!

I reitrate Japanese technology has finally developed an ultimate weapon.

Please come and see the actual GUNDAM, because We Love Japan!
