Fuji-Q Highland

EE-Janaika steel rails with a fall of 89 degrees.

The roller coaster below is called Ee-Janaika meaning "isn`t this great?" This roller coaster holds a Guinness record for its 14 rotations through out its ride. This means the seats rotate while the coaster itself rotates around the rails. This coaster has a speed of 126kilo meters per hour with the highest fall point of 65 meters. This ride lasts fro good several minutes as its 1153 meters long. The steepest fall is 89 degrees where you experience the ground coming towards you with a sickening 100km/h. Well, This ride needs some guts.

The group before us getting ready for it s ride.

Before the ride begins, the staff, people who are going to ride, people while are waiting to ride all start singing "ee janika -ee janaika" in a loud voice. It helps you to gather your guts and forget the panic fro one moment.

Next is another large scale roller coaster called Fuiyama. This also holds a Guinness record for several points. In 1996, it was the fastest , tallest Roller coaster in the world. Its length is 2045 meters and the ride lasts for 3minutes and 36 seconds. Now newer world records have been born but the fun of Fujiyama has neither faded nor has it lost its glory.

Onabe - Japanese Hot Pot

15/05/2010 It was after spending the evening at Thai Festival 2010 in Yoyogi,Shibuya. The dinner was decided on "Nabe" at a shibuya chain restaurant of Japanese hot pot. I have always loved nabe. I have had shabu shabu hotpot, sukiyaki hotpot and seafood hotpot at Japanese houses and this was the first time I am having it at a restaurant. So I thought of sharing some moments of the supreme happiness of eating Nabe - the Japanese hotpot. Beef, eggs and the vegetables The whole table of ingredients for the Nabe in one shot Shabu shabu and sukiyaki on one hotplate finally you dip the boiled slice of meat in the "tare" and eat. This chain restaurant is in Shibuya and limitless "tabehoudai" for less than 2000yen. Good service and loved the meat. All Rights Reserved.

Weather and information of the day It was around 14degrees at the top of the mountain while it was nearly 36degrees at the foot. We were simply above the clouds and the temperature difference was too much to bear. It was cold in the summer. Early in the morning when we passed the Murodo staion on our way to Kurobe dam it was clear all around. in the aftern...
