Nokogiriyama is located in Chiba, Japan which is about 1 hour train ride from Tokyo station. This is another hidden treasure in Japan, which doesnt get much publicity. It has wonderful view and amazingly rich history in this place!

Car virtual girlfriend iOS app
This is an interesting iOS application currently developing in Tokyo, Japan.
It is known as 助手席カノジョ (Virtual girlfriend)
It collects CAN data from car using a OBDII connector and the data will be sent to the cloud. CAN (Controller Area Network) data provides car information such as speed, steering angle, engine RPM and etc.
The virtual passenger girlfriend will react based on the CAN data. If the driver drives very fast, the virtual passenger will scream to alert the driver to slow down!

Okutama
Last weekend, went for a hike in Sakura-yama (Sakura mountain) in Okutama. It was 2 hours train ride from Shinjuku station with few transits. It was a long journey with beautiful country side view along the train track.
A picture we took when we are descending from the sakura-yama. The trail is beautiful with many sakura trees along the way! and now she is gone in the picture! isnt this beautiful??? peaceful!
Near the sakura-yama, there is a huge reservoir which provides water source for the Tokyo people. It is known as the Okutama water reservoir.
Having a break at the top of the sakura-yama, with a beautiful view overlooking the dam and sakura trees!
Walking at the dam wall, on my left is filled with water but on my right it is deep down valley (maybe is 30m in depth)
Okutama station is pretty old, and the station decorated with old movie posters inside the station
