This site is made for purely non-commercial purposes. The webmaster made his first Japan-related internet site between 1996 and 1999 and a part of the contents can still be seen in the archive:
"Hamadayama Life" started in 2004 in order to up-to-date the old information contained in "Japan as it is" as well as to take up new topics which had not been handeled by the archived version. Emphasis is put on my daily life centered on Hamadayama, Suginami-Ward, Tokyo. After coming back from more than three years absense from his homeland, the webmaster recently came back home and restarted "Hamadayama Life" in April 2015.
