Exploring Mt. Haruna

We climbed Mount Haruna by car last July 28, 2012 together with GDC Layout designers. Mount Haruna is located in Gunma prefecture. I think the crater lake-Lake Haruna-and the central volcanic cone Haruna Fuji at an altitude of 1,390 meters is what makes Mt. Haruna a great tourist spot. Lake Haruna is very good for recreational boating and the trails that is maintained in the surrounding area makes visitors to enjoy hiking and biking while viewing seasonal flowers.

Hachiouji Nouen in Gunma Japan

My former boss in PDC Development Department has invited us for lunch. He recommends having a yakiniku in Hachiouji Nouen, located in Gunma Japan.

Yakiniku is a japanese term for grilled dishes or we can simply say Japanese barbeque. I like yakiniku much because beef are so yummy and so with those vegies. I can't help but adore every bite of our yakiniku.

This is a great place to take your friends and family. Because of its tasty yakiniku, this famous farm is always crowded. The meat is always extremely fresh and you'll be overwhelmed. In Hachiouji Nouen, expect the best of the best. You can compare no where of its quality and quantity and the good atmosphere. It's absolutely the best!

Beisia Shopping Center in Japan

I love visiting Beisia everytime I go to Japan. The reason why I want to always check the store out is that they've got good selections of clothes and shoes, aside from having groceries at the same time.

Beisia is a shopping chain store with many stores in Japan.It's a one stop shop! In today's visit, I bought a short pant and have some groceries too.

Kojima Electronic Store

One of my favorite hangout when I'm in Gunma Design Center is Kojima located near Sanyo Denki plant (now Panasonic). Kojima is a mass merchandiser of home electronic appliances. They've got good selections of digital camera, video camcorder, printers, digital frame, sound system too! I also like trying their massage chair. I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards.

At Torisen Store

Buying my basic needs in Torisen is convenient because it's near our place. It is where I buy milk, chocolates, rice, bread, cooking oil, meat, sausages, canned goods, to fresh meats and vegetables. At night, we can buy discounted cooked foods like teriyaki, barbecue, bread and the like.

Tsutaya DVD Rental Near Panasonic in Gunma Japan

Have you ever tried renting DVD's when you visit Japan? I've tried once, I think, but not this time!

In Japan, Tsutaya is the largest DVD and CD rental, game and book store in Japan. They've got many stores around the country.

There's a Tsutaya store near our company. And during the weekend, I go there for a look but I never rented any DVDs. Instead, I just take some photos!

Roaming Around Sanyo Denki By Bike

The last time I go to Japan was on the year 2005. That was 7 years ago! And i missed some of the places near Sanyo Denki.

Today I decided to roam around by myself. Before going to Ota, I dropped at Hard Off again to check out new items. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything interesting (^-^).

I go to Ota to buy some toys again in Toy Planet! And I was lucky to find a remote controlled car that is kinda cheap. So I picked it up for my daughter. I also bought some Naruto stuffs and small cars.

It's my plan to go to PC Depot but I have changed my mind and decided to go to a Brazillian Store named Si.

Since I don't have too much energy, I feel thirsty and decided to drop at Fressay to buy some snacks. Luckily there's a waiting area where I could eat and have some rest.

Now, time to move to Si store. There's a lot of stuffs for souvenirs but they are quite expensive. But they have good selections of display items and electronic devices too. Here I have bought some wrist watched for my 3 kids. My kids will surely love it because of the cute designs.

The day is still long and I still have time to go to Aizawa and to Sanki and Daiso (a Hundred yen shop).

Oh, that was a good experience roaming around by myself. Only by biking, I can go wherever I wanted.

I hope I could go to other places in Ota as well. Let's see... (^-^)
