At the beginning of this month a couple, who is from Russia and live in Tokyo, stayed at Sakuraya for the 1st time.

When they checked out he said,

"You have the website in English and Chinese, right?"

"Yes, I made English site by myself, but our costomer who came from Tiwan made Chinese site for us." I answered.

"OK, I can translate your website into Russian. And I will send you by e-mail."

"Oh, really?"

As he told us he sent an e-mail with a file after that.

2011/08/26 Great summer was back again in Shirahama!

Today it was the best day in these 10 days in Shirahama.

When I was cooking in the kitchen this morning the sunshine which I saw through the window was really different from last 10 days.

At around 12:00 I went to the nearest beach "Shirahama" to take pictures.

There were white clouds floating in the blue sky, and white sand and blue sea were shining under the sky.

Yes, the great summer was back here in Shirahama again.

They are inviting you!!

2011/08/25 Shimoda Aquarium with my son, Yuuki

During summer, as we are very busy we can't go anywhere with my children.

However, when we have a time I go to the beach for swimming with my children twice or 3 times a summer.

I was going to the beach today again, but it was cloudy. So I decided to go to the aquarium with my son, Yuuki.

It was a second time for him to go there.

My son was very excited and happy today.
