This was the first time in Japan’s long history that city life and the merchant class played a vital role. At this spacious 149 km2 theme park in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, the popular culture of Edo city life is revisited.<br />
Step back in time to enjoy traditional games, activities, theaters, street performances and more. The charm of ancient Japan is abundant as you mingle with the Ninja and Oiran couretesans so symbolic of the Edo Period.<br />
You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a movie scene as you experience Japan that has been lost forever.<br />

It is a main source of Noboribetsu's hot spring waters.<br />
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=mastermotivat-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0756628768&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align:left;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;"align="left" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
From the valley, there are attractive walking trails through the wooded hills above Noboribetsu. If you follow them for about 20 to 30 minutes, you will get to Oyunuma, a sulfurous pond with a surface temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and a smaller, even hotter, mud pond nearby. <br />
<br />
Following is our night trail to the Oyunuma part 1 . Enjoy.<br />

The sheer scale and spectacle amaze millions of guests, who line the performance corridor daily. For much of TDL's two-decade history, the park has used clones of other Disney theme park parades, such as Mickey Mania and Disney Party Gras as the main 3pm performance. However, in recent years, TDL has established itself as the Magic Kingdom with the best live entertainment. Japanese guests, particularly the annual passholders are huge fans of Disney live shows and parades and used to camp out all day to secure the optimum position (this has recently been outlawed by park management and guests arriving too early are quickly asked to move on). Even specific performers have their own fan base! Enjoy the parade below: <br /><br />Part 1 of the Parade:<br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/omlqod7LN2Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/omlqod7LN2Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Part 2 :<br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qLL4g49vwU8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qLL4g49vwU8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Final :<br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eloQfO9U_uY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eloQfO9U_uY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>suaveguruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10396564990077921224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086018489758047260.post-1014020349166716422009-12-28T07:10:00.000-08:002010-01-08T22:25:46.199-08:00Minnie Oh!

Pirates of the Caribbean カリブの海賊Pirates of the Caribbean is a dark ride at Tokyo Disneyland.<br /><br />This was the last attraction in which Walt Disney himself participated in designing; it opened three months after his death. It is located within the New Orleans Square portion of Disneyland, its facade evoking antebellum New Orleans, topped by a 31-star United States flag (which would indicate the 1850s). An overhead sign at the boat dock names it for the famous pirate Jean Lafitte (although his name is misspelled Laffite), who fought alongside the U.S. Army at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. The second floor of the facade was originally designed to be a private Disney family apartment. Instead it later opened as an art-related retail/museum space called the Disney Gallery until late 2007 when it was replaced by the Disneyland Dream Suite.<br /><br />During the course of the indoor boat ride, guests float through an immersing, larger-than-life pirate adventure featuring gunshots, cannon blasts, and burning buildings, all set to pirates carousing and pillaging while accompanied by "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" written by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio.<br /><br /><br /><a target='_blank' href='http://img42.imageshack.us/i/dsc00170a.jpg/'><img src='http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8559/dsc00170a.th.jpg' border='0'/></a><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/sSxLevVeQ-4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/sSxLevVeQ-4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Another video , inside the pirates of carribean ride, a bit dark but that's the best I can do for tokyo disneyland <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/TF5CpSh88X0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/TF5CpSh88X0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>suaveguruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10396564990077921224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086018489758047260.post-13571947572144957722009-12-16T05:23:00.000-08:002009-12-16T05:29:16.477-08:00Tokyo Disneyland - The Bicycle PianoGreat energy, great articulation. This guy can entertain a crowd AND get the notes right. Makes me want to get on a plane and visit Tokyo again. That's not an easy piano to sound good on. This player can play circles around the ones from the late 80's, early 90's, last few time I went. This time he entertains his crowd by tuning into the Christmas atmosphere.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/Jxvm1Ag7c_g&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/Jxvm1Ag7c_g&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>suaveguruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10396564990077921224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086018489758047260.post-51684721544885814552009-12-15T17:15:00.001-08:002009-12-15T23:27:59.129-08:00Tokyo Disneyland OverviewTokyo Disney is the most popular theme park in Japan and one of the most popular in the world.
