Well, Spring is… finally? Here.
This is the season where everyone gets going - and a lot is going on!
Events
Kye Goski Live April 4 at Rosemary Hart in Higashi Betsuin
Pro Tip:
Rosemary Heart is a comfy venue. But that means coming early to get a good seat. Kye's gig at Armadillos last week was standing-room only.
The Buzz:
Son of Showa-era guitar player Bob Goski, Kye has all of his father's talent plus the youthful quest for love and loss expressed by his heroes Gordon Lightfoot and James Keelaghan.

Pro Tip
If you are a heckler-type, get there early to get front-row seats.
The Buzz

Pro Tip:
Get here before the crowds! This is a popular event. Showing up early lets you cruise the area and see what you want to buy.

Come by public transport as parking quickly fills up.

You never know what you might find here, but the vendors often sell organic and gluten-free items, fresh bread, and other unique stuff.
Nagoya Eats
Arama Ramen - One of Nagoya's Best Noodle Shops!
Pro Tip:
This place gets crowded at lunchtime - so going early is to your advantage.
The Buzz:
This is not just eating out - it's entertainment. Whether you can speak Japanese or not, Harimoto-San will still talk to you. Yes, the ramen is excellent and filling - but she's the real reason to come here!
