Roppongi Rag / 六本木ラーグ

Named after a district in Tokyo (Roppongi 六本木) that is popular with western visitors to Japan. This is often where other expats new to Japan come to have fun and get tips on what to see and do in Japan. With that in mind, I hope to offer tips/comments/recommendations on a wide array of Japan items for other people travelling to Japan: sightseeing spots (main stream and off the beaten path spots) around Japan, fun cafes, hotels, restaurants, clubs, music, travel books, language tapes, etc.

World Cup 2010 - Japan Team Arrives in South Africa

Friday June 11th starts the supreme soccer event that takes place every 4 years - the World Cup.

This year the country of South Africa is hosting and if previous events such as the Rugby World Cup are any indication the hosts will pull off an incredible job on the world stage.

Japan’s soccer team arrived for the World Cup in South Africa ready to give it their level best.

They will play in Group E with the Netherlands, Cameroon and Denmark, will be based in George and play matches in Bloemfontein, Durban and Rustenburg.

So, whichever team you are routing for, the next few weeks are sure to be entertaining.

All the best...Mark
