A Walk around Yutenji Temple and Surroundings / 祐天寺とその周辺の散歩

After leaving my previous employer in Tokyo, my wife and I had plenty of free time before our impending move to Aomori. So on a nice day, I suggested a walk to Yutenji Temple from our apartment. It was a nice 45 minute walk from are apartment to Yutenji Temple.

以前東京で努めた会社を辞めて、青森に引っ越す前にまだ時間もあって、晴れた日に祐天寺まで散歩に出かけようと妻に提案した。天気も良かったし、本当に散歩日和でした。うちのアパートから祐天寺までは徒歩で４５分くらいでした。

祐天寺の商店街で一休みでコーラフロートを飲む。

My wife had a large order of some shaved ice.

妻はカキ氷を頼みました。

As we were walking home, we came upon a place called Dr. Nakamatsu Square. It seems the street is also named after Dr. Nakamatsu.

帰りの道でドクター中松スクエアを発見。

The building is the house is Dr. Nakamatsu's house.

このビルはドクター中松の家です。

And so ended another one of our walking adventures.

これで今日の冒険散歩の幕が閉じた。
