2012 April. 28 Rice planting & drive in Chiba!!!
It was the best day for drive and farming experience.
We rented the bus
and went to Mutsuzawa which is a town in Chōsei District, Chiba.
Everyone was so excited. We chatted and had some quiz about the rice on
our way.
About our rice planting, we had a paddy field which is only used for
Borderless House.The farmer taught us how to plant rice. Everyone was so excited that
they seemed to forget the time.
After having our lunch and planting rice, we ate sweet and chatted. It
was the best event. Finally, we got a package of rice for present.
We will have to come to our rice field again in September, for Harvest!!!
2012 April. 8 Sakura Picnic (Hanami) at Yoyogi Park!!!

2011′ Mt. Takao Hiking
Finally it’s sunny! It was our first time to climb Mt. Tako, so we were very excited! Although it was the easest course, it was pretty tough. But you know what? You will forget everything when you get to the summit. speechless. so beua-tiful! Mt. Tako is only 50 minutes away from cetral Tokyo. It’s the place if you want to enjoy the colors of autumn leaves with beuatiful nature. If you live in Tokyo, you must go.
2011′ BBQ Party
BBQ season has come! Clear sky with nice seabreeze makes perfect day for BBQ. Tenants gave their hands to built up tents, made a fire, and prepared food. Thanks for all! And, BBQ was so good! We also did Suika-wari which is breaking a watermelon with covering one’s eyes. We had lots fun. I think it is one of the best ways to enjoy summer. Can’t wait for next summer!
2011′ Glass Wind Chimes
Edo furin, wind chime, originated from China and began as far back as 1600. This time, we visited the place where we can experinece making Furin by ourselves. We did glass blowing too! Depends on this process, the sound of chime is different. The last step is to paint on it. It was really difficult to paint from inside, but everyone did good job. Handmaking is always fun. It was also good time to experience Japanese culture.
2011′ Kagurazaka Matsuri
-
2011′ Zen Meditation
In Zen Buddhism, zazen is a meditative discipline practitioners perform to calm the body and the mind, and be able to concentrate enough to experience insight into the nature of existence and thereby gain enlightenment(reference from wikipedia). It was special experience to particiapate Zazen. Pretty hard to keep the posture for beginers, but good way to freshen up your mind.
