Opening of Japan

Have you ever heard "Matthew C.Perry"? He is the historic person for the modern Japan.

When he came to JAPAN in 1852, Japan shut out other countries. Mr.Perry contacted to JAPAN

and worked to open.So, he is the symbol the opening of Japan.

The last week, I visited to the park of Perry, at Yokosuka city.Here is the monument for Mr.Perry.

Hey, Taxi!

My friend and me found the VERO TAXI at the imperial palace.
The system is...the 1st 0.5km is ¥300 and every 0.1km is ¥50 for adult.
Sorry, we didn't take that but the driver was so funny guy. We heard his salary....uum, so sorry...;((
