When the everlasting summer island of Saipan feels somehow cooler and the wind starts to blow on the calm micro beaches, windsurfing season has arrived. The best season for windsurfing is from November to March.

There are not only advanced skiers who can enjoy planing all the way to the coast of Managaha Island, but also beginners who practice in the clear, warm water even in winter in the area near the beach, which is shallow enough to touch your feet. Everyone enjoys relaxing and windsurfing on Mariana Saipan, the island of eternal summer.
There is also a trial course where Japanese instructors will carefully teach you the basics, so you can try something new in the warm and beautiful sea! If so, why not try windsurfing on Saipan?

Hafadai! Hello everyone.

Yesterday, for lunch, I went to OHAS Boulangerie & Cafe for a work meeting.
As expected, it's not as crowded as it was when it first opened, but there are still lots of delicious-looking breads and sweets!
This time I discovered that the sandwiches are really delicious!
The large croissant with smoked salmon, onions, and vegetables was really delicious.

I ate slowly on the second floor.

The characters from Saipan's popular diving spot Objan Beach are back!

Thanks to the efforts of four Japanese volunteer diving instructors, Objan's famous underwater stone writing has been revived!
They made new underwater stone letters from scratch that had been blown away by the recent typhoon.
It's difficult just to collect a certain number of stones of the right size on the ocean floor, but it's also difficult to place stones one by one in flowing water to form letters. Anyway, my head is down.

Beautiful stone writing on the white sandy sea floor. It is a great photo spot, so if you are going diving in Saipan, please enjoy diving at Objan Beach.

Many people come to Saipan for the purpose of golf.
Among the recommended courses is Lao Lao Bay Golf & Resort, which is a popular golf course with two consecutive holes over the ocean, but did you know that there is a hotel attached to it? The rooms here are only for guests who have booked a golf course, so it is difficult for the general public to stay there, but they are spacious, comfortable suites with a kitchen.
If you usually stay in the Garapan area and play at Laolao Bay, please come and stay overnight.
Of course, there are two courses, the East Course (18H), which boasts of crossing the sea, and the West Course (18H), which is not along the coast but is used for various tournaments, so if you want to enjoy golf on a weekend or 3 days off, It's perfect.

Hafadai! Hello everyone.

It seems that the nostalgic Coral Queen has started maintenance in preparation for operation.
The Coral Queen is a boat that has been used by Tashi Tours for a long time before the coronavirus pandemic.
Unfortunately, Tashi Tours will not be operating the tour this time, but it appears that another company is working on it with the goal of starting service next year.
We are looking forward to the day when we can take you to Managaha Island again in good health!

< Historic moment! Malcolm X at the Metropolitan Opera >

This day is finally here!

At the Metropolitan Opera House, the most elegant in New York.

An opera depicting "Malcolm X", a radical activist based in Harlem during the civil rights movement, has opened!


It was written in 1983

I can't keep up with the times

Although it will be performed
Although it took 40 years


The place where it will be performed

The Metropolitan Opera stands beautifully and majestically in the center of Lincoln Center, one of the world's leading arts facilities. . .

I wonder what Malcolm X would have thought if he were alive.


Nowadays, you can enter any Broadway musical even if you wear jeans and sandals.

The Metropolitan Opera is the only place where there are still people dressed up in dresses and tuxedos (there are also people in casual clothes).

On opening night

Malcolm X's daughter
Nas is a big hip hop star from New York.
human rights activist Al Sharpton

They also appeared in formal attire.


It will only be performed for one month, so if you are visiting New York during this time, please come and see it.


"THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MALCOLM X"
11/3 (Thursday) - 12/2 (Sat)
Currently being performed at the Metropolitan Opera

Official website is here https://www.metopera.or…

Hafadai! Hello everyone.

Today, I visited Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan's ``The Terrace'' for lunch.
We have a buffet lunch every day, and we also have Sunday brunch every Sunday!
On weekdays, the menu changes depending on the day of the week, and today is Italian menu day.
(Monday & Tuesday, Italian Mia, Wednesday & Thursday, Smoked Meat Feast, and Friday & Saturday, Izakaya)

As I thought when I visited before, both the menu contents and taste are at a very high level!
I really recommend the Monday & Tuesday pasta (live station)!
I think it's on the same level as high-end Italian a la carte pasta.
Also, for some reason, the fruits here are also delicious!
The melons are ripe, and as a pineapple lover, I love that they serve fresh pineapple every time.

I would like to come with my family next time!
