Gadget Esprit へようこそ

Gadget Esprit は、40代の管理人 HACHIYA が自分で購入して使ったものや、実際に試した・体験したことをもとに書いている個人ブログです。

扱っているのは、ランニングシューズ、ゴルフ用品、ガジェット、そして本業まわりの話。製品レビューはすべて私物で、店頭で触っただけのものは書きません。試乗や現地で体験したことは、実際に体験した記録として書いています。メーカー公表のスペックに加えて、手元で測った重量やサイズも載せています。

本業は下水道の維持管理を経て、現在は建設コンサルタント業界。資格は1級管工事施工管理技士 第一次検定合格です。専門家を名乗るつもりはありませんが、現場で見てきたことは、外からは分かりにくい話ほど書くようにしています。

よかったところだけでなく、合わなかったところや失敗もそのまま残しています。詳しい自己紹介は運営者プロフィールをご覧ください。

Welcome to Gadget Esprit

Gadget Esprit is a personal blog written by HACHIYA, a Japanese blogger in his forties. I write in Japanese most of the time, and this English section collects the posts that are likely to be useful to visitors from outside Japan.

Right now that means two things. Travel guides to places I have actually walked around in Japan, with access details, opening hours and the things I wish I had known before going. And guides to watching professional golf in Japan, written from my own days at the course: which ticket to buy, how to get there from Tokyo, and what the day is really like.

Everything here starts from somewhere I have actually been, or something I have actually used and paid for. I do not rewrite guidebooks or press releases, and if I have not been to a place or used a product myself, I do not write about it. Opening hours, prices, official rules and anything else that can change are a different matter — I check those against the operator’s own website or the relevant public authority, and I say when a figure comes from there rather than from my own visit. Where something is uncertain, I say so rather than guessing.
