Ace Up Close: My Unforgettable Experience at the Tennis Japan Open
- It's been a year since the Japan Open, and it rained again this year.
- Autumn flowers in the backyard and on the walking path, clover flowers, and summer flowers on the dead leaves!

A Fun-Filled Day at the Japan Open
It’s been a year since the Japan Open, and it rained again this year. Last year it was pouring, but today it was a light rain and it had stopped by the time I got home.
Autumn flowers in the backyard and on the walking path, clover flowers, and summer flowers on the dead leaves!

Today’s tennis was a night game, and I met up with my classmate Osano at Erika Chocolate Shop on Shirokane Platinum Street. The two of us drank cold chocolate and talked with classmates for the first time in a while.

I received Erika’s chocolate from Osano as a gift. Apparently, it’s a driver’s fee!

Then I took my car to Ariake Coliseum. There is a parking lot available, and you get VIP treatment. When you step inside, stylish light meals are prepared, and you can enjoy a stylish supper time with wine and other drinks.

Most of the dishes are oshi sandwiches, but I think they could have had a few more ideas. The banana filling was super delicious.

Meanwhile, the first game began. An Italian player ranked around 4th and a French player ranked around 20th. Italian player called game due to injury.

Nishikori seems to be around 200 now. When will the next Nishikori appear? The sponsor also changed from Rakuten to the Kinoshita Group last year.

But it was a fun time. Osano and I were halfway through the game, but we were already sleepy! I’m back. I’m now at an age where I can just enjoy the atmosphere!

I have to go to bed early today because I’m going out again tomorrow for the sumo event! Thank you for reading my blog. I wish you a nice day.
