Learn the Art of Flower Arrangement at Ohara School of Ikebana
Ikebana, flower arrangement, is one of Japan’s most treasured art forms, a time-honored tradition that continues to be relevant even in today’s modern society. Beautifully arranged flowers and plants have permeated Japanese culture in a way that is seldom found in others. The Ohara School of Ikebana has played a major part in keeping the tradition alive, through its many schools in Japan, as well as its 59 chapters abroad, with over 300,000 members worldwide. The beauty of the Ohara School is not only in its floral arrangements, but its ability to share the culture of ikebana with the world. I visited the Ohara Center of Tokyo to try an ikebana class to learn more about this traditional art form.

What to Do if a Typhoon Hits During Your Trip to Japan? (Tips and Precautions)
In Japan, numerous typhoons approach and make landfall from July to October each year. When a typhoon nears, strong winds and heavy rain can make it difficult to go outside, and public transportation and outdoor facilities may be affected. Large-scale typhoons can also lead to flooding and other disasters, so caution is essential. This article explains what you need to know and do before and during a typhoon while staying in Japan. Additionally, we highlight indoor attractions to enjoy if you can't go out, recommend tours if plans change, and provide tips for handling sudden downpours known as "guerrilla rainstorms" that often occur during this season.
