Nagoya Castle

Nagoya Castle was built by Ieyasu Tokugawa to show his power in 1615.
As you know, the most famous thing about Nagoya Castle is Gold Shachihoko. They are on the top of the castle. Shachihoko looks small, but actually, the height is 2.6meters and the weight is about 1.2killograms. The male shachihoko is lager and heavier than the female.

In Nagoya Castle, you can enjoy many Japanese cultures. You can see the 3D theater of the history of it, and enjoy Zyoukamachi life. Zyoukamachi means a castle town. There are a lot of exhibits, souvenirs and the view from the tower is really good.

Finally, I will tell you how to get there and the entrance fee. It takes us 5 minutes from Shiyakusyo Station or get off the bus stop in front of there. The fee is 500 yen. You can relief because there is a guide map for foreigners.

Les Trois Glorieuses

Many traditional and nice wine are drunk in this festival. A lot of people gather at streets and parks, and then they start a wine tasting party.
For example, in a hall, a wine tasting party is held and people who love wines enjoy tasting wine. The auction of wine is also held but we cannot buy any wine because only people who had some knowledge about wines can buy them.

　At the same time, something to go with wine is famous. Cheese, French toast, escargot and so on. Many foods are made to enjoy drinking wine. So, citizens and tourists like talking with such meals.

Histories of wine made by France are very deep. If you go to France and like wine, you can know new knowledge of wine and wine tasting. If not, maybe you enjoy seeing views of France.　

Banff National Park

There are four parts in Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks ; especially we focus on Banff National Parks.

Banff National Park was registered in 1885. It’s third oldest national park in the world. The first is Yellow Stone National Park in United States, the second is Royal National Parks in Australia. So it’s very old world heritage. It’s located in Province of Albert which is west of Canada.

There are many lakes and mountains in Banff National Park. Spas were discovered in the end of 19 century then transcontinental railway was made, Canadian Rocky was developed as a sightseeing city. Banff was a resort city which surrounded by four mountains, many people come there and enjoy shopping or golfing so on. Banff is located high latitude, so we can enjoy shopping by 9’oclock.

Many streets across Banff Avenue, they are named animal names such as Bear, Elk, and Moose. I feel tradition in this place.

Nagashima Spaland

Most famous attraction is steal dragon 2000. The top of height is 97m, and fastest speed is 153km/h. All length is 2497m, and biggest drop is 93.5m. I think it is too afraid for me to ride this attraction. White Cyclone is also famous. There are many scream attraction, but the attraction which are rides by child is also in there. Many famileis go there and enjoy their time.

Nagashima Resort also has a big pool. There are many type pools. There are many parts of the pool in this. For example, pools for children, the pool which uses the sea water. Many people visit this place, and enjoy playing the slider. It holds 82 days, July 4 to September 23.
We can enjoy the spar land and the jumbo pool in a day, and if we will go to both of them, the ticket gets cheap.
