In the morning, I was greeted by Sun (Sun rises), amazingly beautiful.
I had a nice breakfast and now we are approaching Oslo.

Cruising between Copenhagen and Oslo by DFDS SEAWAYS
Room is small, but comfortable.
I feel like floating when I lie down on my bed.
I also enjoy overlooking ocean.
Look, I managed to catch twin rainbows.
There are cafes, a Casino and a Tax Free shop.
It’s fun spending overnight on a cruise ship!

Ohayo Copenhagen!
Good Morning, Copenhagen.
It’s nice sunny day!
I took a nice breakfast and ready to go for sightseeing!
Checked-in at Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen
I checked-in at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen.
This hotel was designed by Mr. Arne Jacobson around 1956.
It was the highest building then.
He designed a guest room and a chair for the hotel as well.
He is also famous as a furniture designer.
It was still bright.
Sun sets around 10 pm here.
We walked around the hotel.
Since I’m a Hard Rock Cafe lover; therefore I had to pay a visit.
Good night.
Hello Copenhagen!!
We’ll be back Helsinki!
I spotted a Marimekko designed FINNAIR!
Lucky me!
Hello Copenhagen!
Post Event Tour in Miyazaki
I had a very interesting day.
First, we visited the Next-Generation Greenhouse (horticultural facility).
There are 7 greenhouse buildings in the area of 50a.
This facility targets high yields and high quality production by adopting the ICT advanced production control system: Ubiquitous Environment Control System (UECS).
It’s not only high-tech, but also eco-friendly facility by using a wood pellet heater to control the room temperature.
Then, we visited Kirishima Shochu Factory.
Shochu is a Japanese distilled liquor, less than 45% alcohol.
Shochu originated in Kyushu and this Kirishima Brand is the most popular Shochu in Japan and actively exporting to overseas.
The company produces 288,000 litters of Shochu per day. Wow
Shochu is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar.
We can enjoy it in many styles: straight, on the rocks, with cold water, with hot water, with hot water and umeboshi (sour plum) and cocktails.
Typically Shochu is about 25%, but WOW, I tried the raw spirit which is 36%!!
Yes, I enjoyed staying in Miyazaki.
But it’s time to say Sayonara (Good-Bye).
I returned to Tokyo; however, I will continue enjoying Miyazaki food in Tokyo.
I bought many Miyazaki souvenirs. hehehe
Top: Maximum (multi-purpose seasoning), Ganjisu Pork Curry, Ganjisu Beed Curry
Bottom: Yamamomo (bayberry), Mango, Green Tea
Fiction…? No, Non-Fiction!
I couldn’t believe what’s happening at the Haneda Airport.
First, we were greeted by Pepper, a robot.
Then, we checked-in our luggage, but we need to do all ourselves by following instructions on the monitor!
I cannot believe this is not a movie, and happening in reality.
I could’t find a counter with a lady!
Or is it common in abroad???
I thought I am a modern person, but I guess I am not modern enough, outdated….
I departed rainy Haneda Airport in shock.
I arrived Miyazaki and checked-in to a nice room with nice view at Miyazaki Kanko Hotel.
I’ll absolutely enjoy spending most of my time in this room.
Yukata (Japanese styled pajama) is usually provided by hotels and inns in Japan.
We are allowed to walk public areas such as public hot spring bath in Yukata.
Fortunately, this hotel is equipped with a natural hot spring bath.
I enjoyed looking at the half-moon while dipping in an open-air bath♪
Turkish Lunch
I ate doner kebab for lunch.
The restaurant remind me my trip to Turkey (Izumir, Konya, Cappadocia and Istanbul) in 2011…people are nice, scenary is beautiful, food is good…
In 1890, The Turkish frigate Ertugul sank off the coast of Wakayama, Japan. Japanese rescued Turkish sailors and took them back to Istanbul by two Japanese frigates. Since then we have good relationships between two countries.
I learned that many things are originated from Turkey such as tulips, yogurt, etc.
I would love to visit Turkey again♪
