You can usually see her on Japanese TV most nights during the week and TBS’ Kings Brunch on Saturday mornings and thanks to reader DougYoon K for sending me this picture, she’s now this weeks J-Babe Of The Week, Yuka.
It was no easy feat finding some pics of Yuka but hard work and persistence got me there …. and searching in Japanese rather than English helps a great deal.
I never knew such beauty was hiding under the conservative clothes she wears on TV.
Much to my surprise Yuka appeared on the cover of Japanese Playboy …. it bears little similarity to the Western version, sorry guys.
For my money, i can’t go past the Shinkansen for my means of long distance travel within Japan.
Not only is it a safer option, there’s much less stuffing around than with a plane, no security check, no carry-on luggage restrictions etc …
On my recent trip to Hiroshima and Kyoto i had the pleasure of riding the Shinkansen several times.
Although as a tourist there’s a JR Rail Pass you can get it’s not necessarily the best and easiest option.
On yesterdays trip to Gala Yuzawa i saw what would have to be best described as a pretty keen snowboarding family.
The youngest at the front, probably a out 5 or 6 yrs old with the wife and father close behind.
Dude-san also had his youngest strapped to his front, fast asleep mind you.
