Next Leg: Narita to Vancouver BC

11月

14日

Here's an edited version of your blog post:

The next leg of my journey back to Seattle takes me from Narita to Vancouver on ZIPAIR. I'm currently at the airport lounge, waiting to board. ZIPAIR is owned by Japan Airlines and is one of the very few low-cost international airlines. I chose the FullFlat seating option for the round trip between Vancouver and Narita, which cost about $2,800—less than half the price of business class on other major carriers.

The catch is that you have to purchase all amenities separately, including drinks and food. There’s no in-flight entertainment system, though the airline does offer free WiFi. There are no monitors in front of you or anywhere else on board, but that’s fine with me. I just wish ZIPAIR had flights to Seattle! For this leg of the journey, I’m in seat 1A—my favorite seat number.

Journey back to Seattle has begun

11月

14日

Today is my travel day back to Seattle from Japan. My first leg will be from KIX to Narita airport on JetStar Airlines. I checked in two bags total weight was 23 kg. 3 kg above their limit and I had to pay ¥3000. They asked me if I want to take 3 kg out of the second bag and put it on my backpack. I refuse and I pay ¥3000.

I tried to use priority pass but somehow my priority pass was denied access to this particular establishment. They clear that they are welcoming priority pass customer I wonder what went wrong. I wasn't hungry anyway. I already came to the gate about 40 minutes. Sitting on the computer with the bench walking. Next stop Narita airport.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 311 The "Welcome Home" Spirit at PSPINC

11月

14日

The "Welcome Home" Spirit at PSPINC

In Japan, “irasshaimase (いらっしゃいませ)” is the standard way to greet customers. At PSPINC, however, we aim to welcome our customers with a heartfelt "okaerinasai (おかえりなさい)," or "welcome home"—a phrase typically used between family members. One of our core beliefs is to create an environment that feels warm and reassuring, a place where our customers feel like they’re returning to somewhere familiar and welcoming.

In larger companies, customers may be addressed by usernames or ID numbers. At PSPINC, we strive to remember each customer's name and welcome them as individuals. The relationships we build from the first visit naturally evolve over the years into a bond of trust, making "welcome home" the phrase that best captures this connection.

Our relationship with customers goes beyond business transactions; it’s a deeper bond of trust. So, if you have any questions, concerns, or new ideas, please feel free to stop by or give us a call anytime. We aim to be a place that feels like home for you and your business.

In the midst of busy days, we strive to be a place of comfort—a space where you can find peace of mind. We do our best to live up to the "welcome home" we greet you with.

We look forward to continuing to be that welcoming place for you at PSPINC. Thank you for your ongoing trust and partnership.

Supermarket Sushi

11月

13日

Today, I bought sushi at the supermarket—one pack with eel for about $3.50 and another mixed assortment for $4.00. I put them together on a plate, which you can see in the second picture. So everything on that plate cost around $7.50. For me, this is incredibly inexpensive compared to prices in the United States, and the quality of the sushi here is on another level. Honestly, I would hesitate to buy sushi in the U.S. after experiencing the freshness and flavor here.

UDON and ODEN for Dinner in Tokyo

11月

11日

I enjoyed a traditional Japanese dinner at Hanamaru Udon, a cozy spot next to my hotel. The meal of udon and oden was simple but satisfying.

The udon came in a light, savory broth with thick, chewy noodles—comforting and perfectly balanced. The oden added heartiness with its mix of fish cakes, daikon, and boiled egg, all simmered in seasoned dashi.

The best part? It only cost 1,100 yen (about $8.00 USD), with no tipping required. Hanamaru Udon delivered an authentic, filling meal that reminded me why I love these small dining experiences when traveling.

Retired Man Selling Coffee in Tokyo

11月

9日

Today, I met a retired man selling coffee from his homemade coffee vending mini truck on a street in Tokyo. He shared that after retiring, he found himself with nothing to do, so he decided to follow his passion for coffee by serving one cup at a time. He even told me about traveling around Japan in his mini truck. What a unique way to spend retired life. I’m glad he found something he truly enjoys. I wish him the best of luck.

Saturday Morning Walk in Tokyo

11月

9日

It is a beautiful Saturday morning in Tokyo. I woke up around 6 o'clock, had a cup of coffee at the hotel, and went out for a walk. The hotel I’m staying at is only about 10 minutes from Tokyo Station. I walked to Tokyo Station, explored the area on the other side, and then headed to the south side to cross the railway. The entire walk was about 1.9 miles, or approximately 4,500 steps—more than double what I usually walk when I’m in Seattle. I have one meeting today before traveling to Kansai via Shinkansen. I also have a meeting in Nagoya tomorrow before reaching my final destination in Ashiya.

Thursday ... It's hard to maintain weight in Japan

11月

8日

Foods in Japan are so good and inexpensive compared to the US that it’s hard not to eat more than I should. I've gained weight, which isn’t great for my health. While I miss home-cooked meals, the food here is simply too delicious to resist.

Tanuki ... The tanuki in Japanese culture symbolizes prosperity, good fortune, and playfulness. Known as a shape-shifting trickster in folklore, it represents adaptability and transformation. Tanuki statues often embody traits like generosity, awareness, strength, and financial luck. Its playful, mischievous nature makes it a symbol of lightheartedness and abundance.
