Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art is located in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture. It has a wide collections, from Rembrandt to Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. In the past, there have been exhibitions of famous artists like Gerhard Richter. It's not just that it has a wonderful collection, but also that structure of the building shows the paintings and sculptures in a way that lets you consider freely whether or not they are great. Around the museum there is space to stroll, and some shopping. It's a place you can enjoy without getting tired. The museum is approx 50 min from Tokyo.

The steep steps to Drip looks just like the entrance to many traditional Kissaten (Japanese coffee house/cafe) which are located on the second or third floor of the building. Well the inside is a creative blend and brew of modern interiors, new classic menu and contemporary vibes. I had my first Tokyo style cream soda and pudding. They were so good! The shelf of the owner is a big love too. I can easily spend a long day here with good reads and good drinks. 

There are many long-established good Japanese buckwheat noodle restaurants in Kanda. "Kanda Yabusoba" was founded in 1880. Soba is Japanese brown noodle made from buckwheat flour. Generally, it is eaten cold after being dipped in a soy-flavored sauce. Kanda is also famous as a city for secondhand bookstores. You should take a walk to look for the books you like after eating Soba.

In Inokashira Park Zoo is the oldest female elephant in Japan, her name is Hanako. She became 64 years old in January 2011. She came from Thailand in 1949 and became popular. We all wish her long life. However, there was a tragedy that Hanako accidentally stepped over the staff working there and killed him. She was called “murderer” at that time.
