Flamenco in Tokyo

2010/12/17

Just had the most wonderful birthday gift witch was not in the least meant to be a birthday gift. I had the chance to witness some beautiful flamenco performance with a brilliant guitar backing on a Friday night.

This was at a Spanish restaurant at Nishinippori . The flamenco dance show is performed every night with different dancing troupes. There are two shows one at 7 o`clock and the next at 9`o clock which each lasts for about 30minutes. On this day, it was a troupe with the leading performer named "Wada Hiroko".

First show








Second show





Their performance was lively with Spanish words of encouragement flowing from the audience.
A grand set of Spanish dishes were served through out the show.  Beautiful strong vocals and very talented guitarist help the audience to catch up with the rhythm.



If anybody wants details please leave a comment.

Special thanks to Mr. Yoneyama and special thanks to Sumanaphan Sirimas for the photos.

19/07/2010 Another dream coming true. I always wanted to go there.I was collecting leaflets, pamphlets about this but never thought of   going due to the high costs. Well, luck was upon me this one time. It was early morning of 5.45 and I was waiting for my sensei s vehicle in front of  Toyama Station. I did know the plans for the day but that we were going to Tateyama. Were we going to Kurobe Dam too, or going to Kurobe Dam?Were we going to take the Alpen Route or go straight to Kurobe?

Weather and information of the day  It was around 14degrees at the top of the mountain while it was nearly 36degrees at the foot.

Early in the morning when we passed the Murodo staion on our way to Kurobe dam it was clear all around. in the aftern...

Gokayama means five hills. These special five hills are named as UNESCO world heritage for it s old  village still left unharmed. The ancient kokiri dancing village The beautiful village of Ainokura The entrance to the village The ancient roof This roof is called "gasshou dsukuri" meaning -the prayers hand architecture-. This roof style is so strong that its compatible for the extremely heavy snow fall in this area in winter. From here onwards are some of the houses still left to date. This houses are still strong and man made. Even in the scorching sun the temperature inside the house is cool and it is said that it is the same in the winter. It was marvelous to see this little village, where in winter visiting this village is difficult due to several routes are closed due to heavy snow fall in winter. All Rights Reserved.
