Was passiert, wenn zwei Reisejunkies, die früher mit Mietwagen durch die Wildnis geheizt sind, plötzlich mit Kleinkind im Schlepptau durch Japans Megacities navigieren? Genau: Es wird chaotisch, überraschend ehrlich, herrlich komisch – und unglaublich inspirierend! In dieser neuen Off-the-Path-Folge nimmt euch Sebastian gemeinsam mit seiner Freundin mit auf eine Reise durch Japan, die so ganz anders war als ihre bisherigen Trips. Statt einsamer Wüstenstraßen, Safari-Abenteuern und Roadtrip-Romantik heißt es diesmal Menschenmassen, Bento-Boxen im Zug, bananenbedingte Grenzkontrollen, Plastikverpackungen deluxe und der verzweifelte Versuch, irgendwo in Tokio einen einzigen (!) Mülleimer zu finden. Und doch steckt in all dem Trubel etwas Besonderes: Die beiden erleben Japan völlig neu. Mit einem Kind an der Seite verschieben sich Perspektiven. Dinge, die früher selbstverständlich waren – frühes Aufstehen, Sightseeing ohne Pausen, spontane Abstecher – sind plötzlich Luxus. Dafür zeigen sich Details, die einem ohne Kind einfach durchrutschen. Wie leise Tokio trotz 34 Millionen Menschen ist. Wie unfassbar höflich die Japaner sind. Und wie viel ein guter Flat White inmitten des Großstadtdschungels wirklich bedeuten kann.

The 2025 World Exposition in Osaka has boosted earnings at major railroad operators in western Japan, with Osaka Metro Co. and Western Japan Railway Co., or JR West, set to pay special bonuses to their employees.

Si les États-Unis nourrissent notre imaginaire depuis des décennies, c'est en partie grâce à leur diplomatie culturelle - leur "soft power". Toutes proportions gardées, la Suisse aussi soigne son image à l'international. À l'Expo universelle de Dubaï, en 2022, elle avait su séduire. Le public était venu en nombre admirer son pavillon évoquant le luxe et la grandeur. En coulisse, Présence suisse, l'instance dirigée alors par le diplomate Nicolas Bideau, réfléchissait déjà à l'étape suivante, Osaka, en 2025. [Première diffusion le 20 juin 2022.

Soccer: Gamba Osaka Top Group F with 5th Straight Win in AFC Champions League 2

Welcome to the Fun Friday edition of the Learn Japanese Pod podcast — the show where we sit down with cool people doing cool things in Japan. In this episode, I talk with Wes Lang about the recent rise in bear encounters and attacks across Japan: the latest stats, what's causing them, and what Japan is doing to prevent future incidents. We also dive into Wes's long experience as a master hiker. He was the first American to complete the Hyakumeizan, and he shares practical advice on how to prepare for the unlikely event of meeting a bear on the trail — including what to do, what not to do, and some useful bear-related vocabulary in Japanese. I learned a lot from this interview with Wes, and I now feel slightly more prepared to go hiking — and hopefully avoid any battles with bears! Wes is the creator of hikinginjapan.com, an authoritative resource with detailed information on hundreds of hikes and mountains across Japan. If you love hiking, Japanese nature, or just a good story, you won't want to miss this one.

Osaka queda a menudo relegada en las rutas turísticas a una tarde o noche y poco más, pero tiene mucho más que ver, además de Universal Studios Japan. Por eso, en este episodio te contamos (ya sabes, prepara lápiz y papel) cómo organizar una visita de 3 días a Osaka con rutas que encajan y que no te hacen ir de un lado al otro de la ciudad (porque las hemos hecho muchas veces y sabemos que se pueden hacer). Verás que centramos cada día en cada uno de los centros neurálgicos de la ciudad: Umeda, Tennoji y Namba. Además, igual te sorprende porque aunque hay mucha comida (al fin y al cabo hablamos de Osaka, donde la comida es una religión más), hay mucho templo y santuario que te sorprenderán. Luego, en Japonismo mini hablamos de novedades relacionadas con los bonitos trenes Romancecar, leemos comentarios y te contamos qué significa eso de kuidaore, el lema no oficial de Osaka, con etimología y todo. ¿Quieres colaborar con el programa? - Colabora en Patreon - Únete a la Comunidad Japonismo - Reserva hoteles en Japón (y en todo el mundo) - Consigue seguro de viajes (¡no sólo para Japón!) - Busca los mejores vuelos - Lleva Internet (pocket wifi o SIM) - JR Pass para viajes ilimitados en tren ---- Continúa la conversación en: - Web: https://japonismo.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/hZrSa57 - Facebook: https://facebook.com/japonismo - Twitter: https://twitter.com/japonismo - Instagram: https://instagram.com/japonismo - Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/japonismo - Newsletter semanal: http://eepurl.com/di60Xn

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 46:10 — Be Still: National Prayer for Japan“He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'” — Psalm 46:10 (NIV)Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper.As evening settles across Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo and Hiroshima, many search for “prayer for my nation,” “peace for Japan,” “healing for the land,” and “God guide our future.” Psalm 46:10 speaks directly into that longing. God calls a nation to stillness, to peace, to trust, and to the knowledge that He alone is God. His presence brings calm where the culture feels pressured, healing where hearts feel tired, and strength where people feel stretched.Japan carries beauty, discipline and resilience, yet many face quiet emotional pressure, uncertainty and restlessness. But the Lord has not forgotten Japan. He speaks peace over its cities, comfort over its people and hope over its future. His promise stands: He will be exalted in the nations and His presence will lead the way.Lord Jesus, stretch Your hand over Japan. Bring peace to cities, healing to families, unity to communities and rest to anxious hearts. Strengthen pastors, leaders, young adults and students. Let revival rise in homes, workplaces and churches. Pour out Your Spirit on this nation and awaken hearts to Your presence.Prayer focus: Pray for peace across Japan; pray for healing from stress, anxiety and emotional pressure; pray for unity in families and communities; pray for spiritual awakening in cities and universities; pray for wisdom for leaders; thank God that He will be exalted in Japan.Life application: Speak Psalm 46:10 over Japan today. Pray with stillness and trust, knowing the nation is in God's hands.Declaration: Jesus is Lord over Japan. His peace will reign, His Spirit will move and His name will be exalted.Call to action: Share this national prayer and help others stand with Japan through DailyPrayer.UK.Tags: Psalm 46:10, prayer for Japan, national prayer, peace of God, DailyPrayer.UK, revival in Asia, healing for nations, global intercession, hope in Christ, spiritual awakeningSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

This week on Wrestling Omakase the double John connection is back at it again, as John is once again joined by John Bivins! First, some complaints about a much too tiny anime convention John just went to, plus John B. also went to a renaissance faire (can you believe both these people have girlfriends??) where he ran into a Randy Savage impersonator, for some reason. Hear all about it! Once the assorted wackiness is out of the way the two of them start off with a pair of Korakuen shows from joshi promotions: first, Sendai Girls' 11/16 show that just so happens to have been Chihiro Hashimoto's 10th anniversary event. They discuss a Chihiro vs. Sareee match that's getting MOTYC buzz, Mika Iwata making an extremely appropriate tribute, the finals of the Jaja Uma tournament for young wrestlers and more!The second Korakuen show comes to us from Dream Star Fighting Marigold, as they talk about a match that both of them really loved, some stuff they were more meh on, another very strange Rossy booking decision and where things look to be going heading into their 1/3 PPV show from Ota Ward.Next, they head back to STARDOM for four more nights of the Goddesses tag league, two of which were quite good and two of which, well, weren't really. Plus: the We Hate STARDOM crew is at it again with maybe their dumbest complaint yet (and that's REALLY saying something), and the standings look to be taking shape, for better or worse.And for the sake of diversity they finally talk some men's wrestling, as they break down NOAH's 11/15 show from Osaka that featured two second round matches in their junior tournament, a very strange GHC Tag #1 contenders match, and a preview tag for next week's Mr. Smack Daddy vs. The Dang Joker showdown. Things are weird in NOAH these days!Fill out this form if you're interested in appearing on our Wrestle Kingdom Week preview show (deadline for submissions is 11/30!): https://forms.gle/PoTPsfetRribc4Av9Follow Wrestling Omakase's Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on Bluesky: http://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialCheck out John Bivins on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.bivins.372And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/punkrock.darkroast/And here's a random clip of John B. provoking an old lady: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1piF6ngT9lv-gX-1LZggZLc4bSvnQKMnr/view?usp=sharingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Japan's political scene is changing—from new parties rising in visibility to historic moments in national leadership—so the Krewe is bringing you a timely crash course.

Send us a textInteresting things about the distillery:Said to be America's oldest continually maintained brand of whiskey, it was founded in West Overton, Pennsylvania, in 1810.Old Overholt is a rye whiskey distilled by A. Overholt & Co., currently a subsidiary of Beam Suntory, which is a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan. It is currently distilled at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, KYHenry Oberholzer (Anglicized to “Overholt”), a German Mennonite farmer, moved to West Overton, Pennsylvania, on the banks of Jacobs Creek in Western Pennsylvania in 1800.  His family came from the area of Germany which specialized in distilling “korn”, or rye whiskey, and Henry took up the tradition.In 1810, Henry's son took over the management of the distillery and made it into a business. By the 1820s, the distillery was putting out 12 to 15 gallons of rye whiskey per day. By 1859, Overholt incorporated his business as “A. Overholt & Co.” He operated out of a new distillery building that was six stories high, 100 feet long, and which could produce 860 gallons per day.Old Overholt was one of six distilleries allowed to continue issuing bottled-in-bond, government stamped, pints with a dosage cup atop the cap and doctor's prescription attached to the back.Maybe because Andrew Mellon was a partner in the business and he was the secretary of the treasury under HardingMellon Sold his shares in 1925 due to concerns from prohabisionists Beam bought out the old overholt in 1986, when they made the purchase of Dekuyper Peachtree Schnapps. This was during a time when brown liquor was frowned upon and clear liquors were in. Our Bottle:Pipe Pairings: 80 proof- Cornell and Diehl gentleman caller. BIB- eight state burley Cornell and Diel 114 - peterson Hyde Park10 year- Irish Flake by petersonMonogahela Rye- Cornell and Diehl riverboat gamblerCocktails:Research Sourceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Overholt https://whiskyadvocate.com/old-monongahela-rye Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Kambo/“Caamzie” swings by with a ridiculous travel-skate yarn: starting in a Thai hostel, sees Street League is in Tokyo tomorrow, books a flight on impulse, and proceeds to confidence-speedrun his way into the skaters' entrance. He helps a media crew carry gear, posts up in the Skaters' Lounge, warms up on the comp park (until staff clock him), and still ends up beers-in with absolute killers: Nyjah Huston, Dominic Walker, Jamie Foy, Dashawn Jordan, Shane O'Neill, Ryan Decenzo and more. We get sweaty-handshake honesty, identical-looking wristbands, and a live Chloe the Flow switch-flip win that blows the roof off. The “after party” turns into a sprint for the last train, beers with legends like Chris Cole, then a bender and a doomed detour to Osaka for a car meet that… was back in Tokyo (cue: sleeping on a rolled-up carpet). Moral of the story: act like you belong — and sometimes you actually do.#propertrueyarn #skateboarding Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
