So, there was this exhibition called "Grand Palais Immersive: Eternal Mucha" at Hikarie Hall. It was hyped up with phrases like "Drown yourself in Mucha, an overwhelming immersive space" and "Bathe in Mucha, an immersive experience that delights all your senses in knowing Mucha." I got a little curious, so I decided to go check it out!

I sometimes go to Nagoya for work. Whenever I'm there, for some reason, I always go to see Nana-chan, then head to Yabaton for tonkatsu, and afterwards, I buy Toraya Uiro as a souvenir. This classic route always involves Meitetsu Department Store.

When I was a kid, I developed hives after moving to Tokyo. I often missed school because we couldn't figure out the cause. The place that changed me was Kishu, and what really stuck in my memory from that time were the place name "Atashika" and its beautiful sea. This time, I went on a short trip to retrace those memories.

The Oya History Museum, home to the old Oya Stone Underground Quarry, had been on my must-visit list for ages! Since I was back in Tokyo for winter break, I figured, why not? The second I stepped inside, I was totally blown away by the scene unfolding before me – talk about an underground temple!
