Visit to Oedo Onsen Monogatari, Followed by a Barbecue in Odaiba Kaihin Park

A visit to Odaiba Oedo Onsen Monogatari formed part of the programme for the Centenary celebrations in 2005. The structure houses a selection of different pools with various mineral compositions, as well as an outdoor pool. There are separate areas for ladies and gentlemen, and an amusing Edo-style theme restaurant area inside the complex adds to the fun. The Onsen visit will be followed by a catered barbecue in Kaihin Park, which overlooks Rainbow Bridge. This part of the programme will begin at around 4.30 p.m., but details will be sent to those who apply to attend.

Guests are welcome, and you may attend either or both of the events; please indicate in your reply.

Charges (payable in advance):
Oedo Onsen Monogatari ¥2,700
Barbecue ¥3,800 (covers both food and drinks)

If you wish to take part, please reply to Tim Minton by e-mail (t.minton[at]camford[dot]org)or fax (044-945-4716) by Monday, 3rd September.

By kind arrangement of Mr Takashi Uyeno

The venue for our main June event is the exclusive Ark Hills Club in Akasaka, which will be fondly remembered by those who attended the first of our centenary celebration events in March 2005; we also held an event there in July of the same year.

Ark Hills Club is located on the 37th floor of the East Wing of the Ark Mori Building next to the ANA Intercontinental Hotel in Akasaka. The closest subway station is Tameike Sanno on the Ginza and Namboku Lines. Detailed directions will be sent to those who sign up.

Charge: 8,000 yen per person
(Payment is required in advance; account details will be sent to those who apply to attend. Usual charges will be applied for no-shows and late cancellations.)

Dress: Jacket and tie

If you wish to attend this event, please contact Tim Minton (t.minton[at]camford[dot]org] by 3 p.m. on 22nd June. You are welcome to invite guests.

Details of the day’s programme will be sent to those who wish to come on the outing.

The following is an outline:

- 12.00: Meet at Takao-sanguchi Station (at the end of the Keio Line)
- 12:15: Climb Mt. Takao (599 m above sea level). Refreshments available at the top.
- 16:40: Take Ukai Toriyama’s private bus from Takao-sanguchi station
- 17:00: Dinner at Ukai Toriyama
(It is, of course, possible to take part in either the hike or the dinner alone.)

Takao-san is one of the closest places to central Tokyo where you can feel that you are finally out of the city. It is not a hard climb, and you certainly do not have to be a seasoned hiker to make it to the top. There are good views of Tokyo and the surrounding mountains on the way up, and a wonderful view of Mt. Fuji (weather permitting) from the top.

The restaurant complex is located in its own gardens in a steep valley about 10 minutes’ drive from Takao-sanguchi Station. It consists of a series of small, traditional Japanese buildings and is the sort of place that Tokyo residents like to take their overseas visitors for a taste of ‘the real Japan’ (the photos on the restaurant’s Japanese-language website, http://www.ukai.co.jp/toriyama/, will give you an idea of the atmosphere). The main feature of the meal is chicken, which is barbecued at the table. There are other choices for anyone who is allergic to chicken.

If you would like to take part in this event, please contact Tim Minton (t.minton[at]camford[dot]org) by 21st May, specifying whether you wish to take part in both the hike and the dinner or just one of them. Please also provide a phone number so that you can be contacted if the weather forces a last-minute cancellation.
