Japan

Homepage of Fujino Takashi of Fukutsu City: My friend Fujino-san uses the name 'TS3' because his first name is Takashi, his wife's name is Seiko, and his two daughters are Suzuna and Sohari
Yokakusa Koga: Volunteer group to which I belong

When I visit Palo Alto I have a very good time, due in large part to my friends and their businesses. I highly recommend the following:

California Shoe and Luggage Repair: A terrific little shop run by George Moon who will repair your shoes, luggage, make keys with smiling service and at reasonable prices.
Cardinal Hotel: An old hotel with plenty of charm. A warm, friendly lobby where guests sit and chat over a cup of Cardinal blend coffee. The location - downtown Palo Alto - is convenient to shops, restaurants, buses, and Caltrains. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very professional. I have stayed at the Cardinal Hotel on regular visits and have seen very little turn-over in the staff. This place is great!
Thaiphoon Restaurant: Good tasting food, wide variety, excellent service, reasonable prices. Located on the same block as the Cardinal Hotel. Highly recommended: Tapioca pudding in coconut milk for a light dessert.
Stanford Theatre: A 1920s theatre with a large organ. Meticulously restored By the children of Mr Hewlett and Mr Packard, founders of HP. Old classic movies are shown here at a very reasonable price. And the popcorn is freshly popped and reasonably priced too!
