President Trump and First Lady arrives in Japan for a four-day trip
U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania landed at Tokyo's Haneda International Airport on Saturday, May 25, kicking off a four-day visit to Japan.
????U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Japan for a four-day state visit heavy on ceremony and sports, although a senior White House official promises “there’ll be some substantive things to announce.”
A focus on photo opportunities rather than dealmaking may be intentional on the part of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has forged a close relationship with Trump. The two have met or spoken more than 40 times, which is “absolutely unprecedented,” according to the White House.
Keio University Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, the prime minister’s primary foreign policy speechwriter, envisions that apart from the visit’s ceremonial aspects, there will be little of substance. But Taniguchi points out Abe is the only foreign leader with whom “Trump can spend hours and hours speaking without prepared talking points, which in itself bears strategic value for Japanese diplomacy.”
Asked by VOA if the trip would result in any deliverables on trade and defense cooperation, a senior U.S. official pointing to a scheduled Monday Trump-Abe news conference replied, “they’ll have some very interesting announcements concerning the range of the relationship.”

Japanese Manhole Covers: Drainspotting Adventure & Factory Tour ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Manhole covers are trending high in Japan and for good reason -- they're stunning! Only in Japan are manholes to cover sewage designed so beautifully that they now make MANHOLE TRADING CARDS! (Travel around Japan and collect them all. They're free!) The craze is real, folks.
There's even a new word for manhole enthusiasts: MANHOLERS
In this episode, John travels around the country as a manholer in search of Japan's best designs. He also visits Nagashima Imono Casting Factory where manhole covers are made and finds out why they have designs and are painted. He also visits the Manhole Summit for the latest news and designs.
FACTS ABOUT JAPANESE MANHOLE COVERS:
★ They were a way after WWII (World War 2) for Japan to spread the importance of its new sewer system project.
★ Okinawa (Naha city) was the first designed manhole in 1977. It had fish on it.
★ Now 95 % of all municipalities in Japan have customized manhole covers.
★ There are over 12,000 designs around Japan!
★ Manhole covers are sometimes painted for commemorative covers or for inside areas without vehicles like shopping arcades and parks. The paint used is a top secret mixture.
★ Designs represent local culture, history, mascots or sports teams: things citizens are proud of.
About Manhole Cards:
The cards are free and you have to physically go to each location to get one. It's first come, first serve.
Where To get the cards?

Japan Trip: Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery Free Tasting Whisky making process Hokkaido 46
Japan Trip: Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery Free Tasting Whisky making process Hokkaido 46
Nikka Whisky is one of Japan's top whisky makers. It has its main distillery in Yoichi, about 20km about 20km west from Otaru. The company was founded by Taketsuru Masataka, famous as the father of Japanese whisky, who studied whisky making techniques for several years in Scotland before bringing the trade to Japan. He was instrumental in establishing the country's first whisky distillery.
The Yoichi Distillery was built in 1934.He believed that this place was the most similar to Scotland as it has clear water, brisk air and rich peat and would be best for recreating Scotch whisky.The traditional distillation process that he brought over is largely unchanged today. Nikka whiskies have been recognized to be one of the world's best single malt whiskies.
The Yoichi Distillery maintains many of its original stone buildings. A self-guided walking tour of the grounds takes about an hour and follows the whisky making process from start to finish. Visitors can learn about many steps taken to produce whisky from English information displays and audio guides. Some of the equipment along the tour, such as the large copper distillation tanks, is still used today. Guided tours are only provided in Japanese.
Toward the end of the tour is a museum which focuses on the life of its founder and the history of the company. Several interesting displays include photographs and household items of Taketsuru and his Scottish wife named Rita, whom he met in Scotland and who moved to Hokkaido with him to help found his business. The tour ends at a tasting room where visitors can sample various Nikka whiskies. As it has a gift shop, visitors can enjoy drinking while having snacks.
Access Information
The Nikka Whisky Distillery is located just a 10minutes walk west of Yoichi Station on the JR Hakodate Line.
Yoichi Station can be reached in about 25 minutes by local trains from Otaru (360 yen, every hour departures) or in about one hour from Sapporo (1070 yen, requires a transfer at Otaru).

SUMMARY
=======
The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (東北地方太平洋沖地震, Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin) was a magnitude 9.0–9.1 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011, with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 29 km (18 mi).
The earthquake is often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake (東日本大震災, Higashi nihon daishinsai) and is also known as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, the Great Sendai Earthquake, the Great Tōhoku Earthquake, and the 3.11 earthquake.
It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.
The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that may have reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, traveled at 435 mph for up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. Residents of Sendai had only eight to ten minutes warning, and more than 19,000 were killed, many at the more than a hundred evacuation sites that washed away.The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east, shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in), increased earth's rotational speed by 1.8 µs per day, and generated infrasound waves detected in perturbations of the low-orbiting GOCE satellite.
Initially, the earthquake caused sinking of part of Honshu's Pacific coast by up to roughly a metre, but after about three years, the coast rose back and kept on rising to exceed its original height.The tsunami swept the Japanese mainland and killed over ten thousand people, mainly through drowning, though blunt trauma also caused many deaths. The latest report from the Japanese National Police Agency report confirms 15,897 deaths, 6,157 injured, and 2,533 people missing across twenty prefectures, and a report from 2015 indicated 228,863 people were still living away from their home in either temporary housing or due to permanent relocation.A report by the National Police Agency of Japan on 10 September 2018 listed 121,778 buildings as total collapsed, with a further 280,926 buildings half collapsed, and another 699,180 buildings partially damaged. The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse. Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan. Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left ...

My JENESYS Experience
I spent way too long working on this video, and it's been a long time coming, but it's finally done! A short audio blog of my #JENESYS journey from back in March, covering the entire trip from #Tokyo to #KujiCity and back. Most of the video is actually composed of still images, so feel free to listen to it in the background in podcast form. The audio is pretty bad as I recorded most of it on my phone, but hopefully it's at least somewhat comprehensible. I'll try adding subtitles eventually. Any feedback is appreciated. :)
Thanks in no small part to Nitin, Meenakshi, Nithya, Pampa, Prasenjit, Priyanka, Varsha and Vivek for the images, and to everyone else for making the trip a memorable experience. Thanks also to Sayantan for a whirlwind tour of the most exciting parts of Tokyo!
A huge thank you to the great people at Sakuraa Nihongo Resource Centre who selected me for the trip and also to Embassy of Japan in India, The Japan Foundation, New Delhi and JICE for organizing the program every year.
Also, a huge thank you to the ふるさと体験学習協会 and the host families (especially our own アニキ family, Akira Yachi, 谷地幸恵 and お母さん) for their hospitality. 大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました！
