I Visited Japan’s REAL Studio Ghibli Inn | Tendo, Japan

Ryotaro’s Japan Shogi Koma

Hey guys! So I visited Tendo to meet my friend Yamaguchi San, who showed me around his ryokan, Takinoyu. It’s a well-known ryokan in Yamagata as it often holds shogi (Japanese Chess) title matches! We then went on to visit a Shogi shop, and then the magical Ginzan Onsen. Finally, we ended the night back in Tendo for some izakaya fun!

    Shogi? How about you play some Taikyoku Shogi (大局将棋), with it's board of 36×36 squares, and each playing having 402 pieces, of 207 different types?

  4. ZarlanTheGreen

    Shogi didn't arrive in Japan, in the Nara period. Some form of chess did, certainly, but it took some time, until it became shogi. Shogi is a uniquely Japanese variant, of chess, that is notably different, to the game that first came to Japan.

  5. ZarlanTheGreen

    Why do you say "shogi koma"? Koma is just the Japanese word for piece. (as in game piece) It's not some special shogi-term, or anything like that. When speaking/writing in one language, what possible reason is there, to needlessly sprinkle in words from a different language, when you could simply use words of the language you are using? Why would you want that? For ch riyuu would you mahu that? In what Weise would that förbättra anything?

    My biggest regret is not going during the height of the pandemic when I worked in Japan. Since most of the time it’s full

    Thank you for asking about tattoos..as a woman in America I worry about that coming to Japan..the last thing I want to do is get into trouble or offend anyone and I have many innocent tattoos but it's still a worry when I finally visit

    👏👏👏 I like this guy! “You got tattoos? No problem!” A smart man, it’s 2023 99.9% of people who have tattoos in Japan are not in the yakuza.

    I know where to go for my next visit in between my musha shugyos. I'm always in the search for tattoo friendly onsens. I always go to the onsen after my weekly training. Greetings from Aomori!

    I can honestly say I loved my stay at Ginzan Onsen *(the bus travel there not so much!).

    “ladies first”, was it mistranslation on purpose because he said it with a straight face 😂
