Boredom is something useful sometimes, I convince my father to make some new videos from our adventures in Thailand. Check the amazing Floating market long boats ans stay away from scammers.
Destination an Onsen in Chiba prefecture, about one hour and a half from Tokyo. I will share that with you in an upcoming post because today I remembered about the nice farm we visited close to our Ryokan and about how many friends we met there.
The name of the Farm is “Mother Farm” and it was founded in 1962 by a man called Hisakichi Maeda. If you visit their website (there’s an English version) you will discover more about this business man that is behind Tokyo’s tower and newspapers.
But let’s concentrate in animals and let me show you a little bit of the fun you can have there (but during winter time it’s very, very cold)
but very nice, you can actually feed him
The Farm’s restaurants – excellent fresh milk
And above all the elements a custom made pirate ship, almost real size, is clearly the most demanded play.
And Miffa and me were there playing pirates, it was a little bit embarrassing for him, but the ship is so high that many parents go inside with their kid to prevent accidents.
You have to got early and you must be there about 4 am if you want to enter the auction, besides now you have to register in advance or may be the will completely bann visitor from the auction.
So we were lucky on that rainy spring morning when we manage to visit the auction, but if you’re lazy you must paya a visit to the market too, great small restaurants, great fish, and above all – a lively atmosphere- that will surprise you a lot!
Of course if you are in tokyo, Ginza is the right place to such discoverings!
But we don’t like the color…
We visited Anpanman museum in Yokohama, it was a very rainy day and Yokohama is not so close to Tokyo as you will expect. But we had a great time!!!
Now some wikipedia about him that can be found here
Anpanman (アンパンマン) is a Japanese picture book series written by Takashi Yanase since 1973. It was inspired by Yanase’s struggles to survive as a soldier in World War II. Many times, he became faced with the prospect of starvation, which made him dream about eating anpan (a bean-jam filled pastry).
