Keep Your Events Nice and Clean with Garbage Cans
Greetings again (^o^)/♪ Winter is coming to an end and the weather is getting warmer. Those of us who like warmer weather have a reason to celebrate! Not to mention warmer weather means festivals and events! Many festivals an events are held in Japan from Spring to Fall. We all tend to buy and eat at the festivals and events. But one thing that we don’t like is having to deal with garbage. Much less walking down a street littered with garbage. Carrying garbage or looking for garbage cans can ruin the mood of the festival or event. So please keep you festival or events clean with garbage cans. One […]

Use Unveiling Cloths or Unveiling Drapes at Your Next Event
Greetings (^o^)/♪ Today I would like to “unveil” an item I think can enhance your next event. I am sure we have all seen big television events where they show a new, upcoming item or product. They don’t show it in the very beginning of the show. They usually talk about the product to get everyone interested. Then towards the end of the presentation they finally reveal their item or product. So, without further ado, I would like to introduce Unveiling Cloths! Using unveiling cloths can really add a little bit of excitement to your next event. If you are planning on reveling an item or a product at your […]
Enjoy the Sakura Season (and Hanami) to the Fullest!
Hello! It’s the beginning of February, which means there’s just a little over a month left before the start of the Sakura season. What better place to enjoy the flowers in full bloom than here in Japan? If you have ever arranged a hanami (which literally means to view flowers), you would know that the logistics for it are pretty bothersome. Other than having to bring food (and also alcohol), chairs, mats, and the like are also necessary, depending on how prepared you are. Booking seats or spaces at a shrine or other popular venues can also be pricey. Why not save yourself the hassle and rent all of the equipment? […]

Looking For Masu (Sake Cups) But Not Sure Which to Get?
Hello! If you’ve ever been to Japan, you may have heard of masu, or wooden cups used for drinking sake (Japanese rice wine). Often made of cypress, these cups also make excellent souvenirs for any occasion. When drinking sake, a glass is first placed inside the masu before being served. The sake is poured till it overflows from the glass into the masu, allowing you to enjoy a full cup of delicious sake.

Rent Basketball Hoops and Balls at Event 21
Hello! So, I was working at our warehouse the other day and came upon a basketball hoop. And I instantly remembered of the days I used to play with my friends after school.

I even thought about buying my own basketball hoop and ball and play it on the street like I used to. Not to mention my skills probably have gone down since I have not played in a very long time.
