A Walk around Musashi Koyama / 武蔵小山の散歩

Now that we are back in Japan, we once again went in search of different neighborhoods to explore and walk around. Today, we hopped on a bus headed for Gotanda and got off at an area called Musashi-Koyama. What interesting things will we find?

日本に戻ったので、またどっかの近所散歩に出かけた。五反田行きの路線バスにのって、途中下車をしました。今日歩く場所は武蔵小山。どうゆう発見が待ってるのかな？

We started our walk by checking out the busy shotengai (market street would be the closest translation I suppose). We love going to different shotengais. There is always some interesting store to be found, and of course, a lot of food as well.

最初に歩いたのはやっぱり駅の近くの商店街。私たちは商店街巡りするのが大好き。面白い店や美味しいそうなレストランがあちこちに見つかる。

We then came upon this little shrine in a residential area. It seems to have built for fire prevention.

住宅街でこうゆう神社を発見しました。

We also found this nice looking Spanish restaurant that we may go to some day, if we can find it again.

可愛いスペイン料理店も発見しました。いつか食べに行こうと言いましたが、また見つかるかどうかが問題。

Betty Boop was in the neighborhood as well.

ベティ・ブープも近所に居た。

We were also looking for a quiet little place to have lunch, but you know that I will write that up as a separate post.

昼食もこの辺で食べたが、それはまた別のネタで書くに決まってるでしょう。

But as we were having lunch on the second floor of this building. Our view was of a yakitori shop that seemed to be doing brisk business. We decided then and there that we would buy some for dinner this evening.

あるビルの二階でランチを食べながら、窓から見える光景は美味しそうな焼き鳥屋でした。客もいっぱいで、夕飯は焼き鳥に決定。

Don't you just love the store sign?


店のサインも味あるね？











Doesn't that just look wonderful.

美味しそうでしょう。

And off to home it was.
