- Cosmic Wonders: Yokohama’s New Eye-popping Planetarium is Perfect for Stargazers
- Japan 2022.12.17
- For those who have never been to a planetarium, or those who haven’t been since a school trip in grade school, the experience can be eye-opening. They can showcase not only the wonders of astronomy but, thanks to modern technology, astonishing displays that lend themselves to storytelling. <BR><BR>2024 will mark a century since the first modern planetarium opened in Munich. Engineer Oskar von Miller (1855–1934) founded the Deutsches Museum, the world’s largest science and technology museum, and worked with the Carl Zeiss optical company on a room dedicated to astronomy. Planetariums had evolved from Middle Eastern representations of planets as points of daylight in perforated tents to elaborate mechanical devices known as orreries, such as the 18th-century Royal Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker, Netherlands. Miller, however, decided to use a finely tuned projector to create an indoor star field, a much simpler method than holes or globes. The concept was a hit and projectors became the industry standard for the next century.

- Smoking Rules and Etiquette in Japan
- Tokyo 2022.09.15
- In April 2020, new smoking law went effective where it bans indoor smoking in restaurants, hotels, and offices. However, smoking indoors in cigar bars, private homes, and hotels (smoking room) exempt from this ban. Smoking is solemnly prohibited except for designated areas. A bit confusing here, but there are <b>2 different smoking rooms at a restaurant</b>; designated smoking room and desingated heated tobacco smoking room. <BR>The <b>designated smoking room</b> allows smoking and entry for those over 20 only but no eating and drinking while smoking. On the other, <b>designated heated tobacco smoking room</b> allows entry for those over 20 like the other room but can smoke heated tobacco only and no rolled tobacco. Unlike the other, eating and drinking in the room while smoking is permitted. In this room, smoking other than using heated tobacco is strictly banned. As another general rule for smoking indoors, smoking on trains, buses and, airplanes are prohibited but usually on the long distance train like the shinkansen(bullet trains), some of them might have a smoking room where smokers can take a break there. Look out for the specific poster with which of these smoking rooms are available at each location.
