Yuenchi you recommend

For my next foray, I am considering yuenchi, amusement parks, where I'm going. Which domestic amusement parks do you recommend and why? Any you think aren't worth the effort or expense?

    I've only been three times, but I really liked FujiQ. Two of the times it was when the kids were small so I appreciated their attractions for kids and as an adult they have some good roller coasters and other attractions. I also like that it doesn't get crazy busy like some other places. For me too, it is a pleasant drive on expressways and doesn't take too long if I don't meet traffic.

    My teenage son is telling me here that he really like Yoimuri earlier this year. He said the illumination was on at the time and it really added to the experience. He did say though that it was quite crowded, but not Disney level crowded, and there were some rides with too long of a wait time.

    I think the big ones like Disneyland/Sea and USJ are too busy to be enjoyable these days. Like BigFamJapan I really enjoyed FujiQ Highland when I went. It’s been a while since my last visit there but it wasn't as stressful as the larger parks.

    On that note, one that my son is eager to see is PokePark Kanto which is opening at Yomiuriland in February. I think it'll be absolute madness for a while, though, so I'm not too keen to go right away.

International cuisine that's hard to come by?

In my region - Chiba-Saitama - there are many Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese restaurants serving authentic flavours. Which international cuisines do you see underrepresented in your area? Have you found any rare gems in the Kanto region? I miss Greek/eastern Mediterranean food the most...

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.
