A Walk around Shibuya / 渋谷の散歩

This weekend we went walking around my work neighborhood of Shibuya. But it was so darn hot and muggy, Mikako was not enjoying herself so we cut our walk short. Still, I took pictures of Shibuya's famous landmarks that I will share with you. We skipped the main areas of Center-Gai and where most of the popular shopping buildings are - Parco, 109, Seibu, Loft, etc. The area we walked around is full of office buildings and restaurants. I was curious as to what became of this restaurant called "Cous-Cous". It was North African restaurant I quite enjoyed. Then it became an Indian restaurant. But it's now a Peruvian restaurant called "Miraflores". We'll have to check it out sometime in the future. But for now, enjoy the pictures.

今回の散歩道は僕の職場の周りの渋谷。でも天気も相変わらず蒸暑いので、散歩は短めにしました。それでも、渋谷の人気スポットの写真いろいろ撮りました。今回は渋谷で有名なところを避けて‐センタ街、Parco, Loft, 109、じゃないほうに歩き回った。またまた一軒の店はどうなったのかを気になってた。昔は北アフリカ料理店の「クスクス」でしたが、それが潰れて、インド料理になって、今はペル料理の「ミラフローレズ」になりました。近いうちに行ってみたいな。でわ、写真をご覧下さい。
