About this blog

Hello, I'm Tozan Southerpacks, a wolf who likes playing rhythm games, participating programming contests, and of course, traveling around places that look interesting to me.

I would like you to understand where I will visit and introduce are not always popular or well-known for tourists. However, I think you can consider to go to some of the places I will introduce.

In addition, my English is sometimes hard to understand, so I thank you for your effort in advance.

Jaunt in Chiba in Fall (1/2)

Image
October 9th is Sports Day, one of the national holidays of Japan. I have also a remaining paid day off from my intern company, so I decided to travel around Boso peninsula in Chiba, with very cheap train and bus free-pass, 4700 yen for two days. Introduction: Where is Chiba? Chiba prefecture is in the Greater Tokyo area. It is located to the east of Tokyo, populated more than 6 millions. The prefecture has a big peninsula, called Boso, so it is surrounded by sea and it doesn't have high mountains unlike other Greater Tokyo prefectures (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Yamanashi the highest). Chiba-city, the biggest city of the prefecture is 40 minutes from Tokyo by train, but the peninsula is a little big and it takes more than 4 hours to move around it by local trains. If you have been to Tokyo once, perhaps you came to Tokyo from Narita airport. Narita is in Chiba, but it's far north to the Boso area. You might have visited Tokyo Disneyland or Disney Sea, where is also

Jaunt in Chiba in Fall (2/2)

Today I got up at 7:30AM. I forgot to close the window so I was forced to fight with mosquitos in the late night, but an insect repellent spray was provided so it wasn't a big deal. In the morning, after I went to the lighthouse, Nojimazaki-lighthouse, which I tried to visit yesterday, and luckily it was open and I could see the excellent view. Also this is the southernmost point of Boso, so there was a monument and a bench for looking at the broad sea. I visited Inubosaki, the easternmost point of Chiba before (it's also really interesting to visit, and it's easier to reach), but it shares an interesting point: when you look at the direction of the land, you can see two sides of the sea reaching and almost separating between where you are and the land you're looking at. Hard to explain, but you might understand by seeing this picture. Other than the seaside resort area, Shirahama is just a rural town. Especially in the mountains (again, mountains in C

Visiting Tehran, Iran with high school programmers (1/2)

Image
I visited Tehran, the capital of Islamic Republic of Iran. ...Don't you get so restless. It is said to be difficult to get Iranian visas for US citizens. Even in Japan, not many people have visited Iran and people ask me if it was safe. Then I would answer that I have to go whether it is safe or not, because I have a role in the programming contest held in Tehran in this summer. This year, International Olympiad in Informatics, the programming contest for secondary education students was held in Tehran, and I attended the contest as a committee member (deputy). Luckily our national team did really well, including 1st pace in country ranking and we have the winner of this contest. It is irrelevant to a lot of readers, so I conclude the reference of the event with the link to IOI 2017 . July 27, 2017 I headed to Haneda Airport in the evening and attended (and ignored) the lecture for the students. You know that we cannot eat pork, and of course, Japanese food in Iran, so I
