A Walk around Tamagawa Daishi, Sougen-ji Temple and Yanaka Ginza (Part 3) / 玉川大師、曹源寺と谷中銀座の散歩 (パート3)

Our last main destination today was Yanaka Ginza. We hopped on the local bus to take us there.

今日最後の目的地に向かってます。かっぱ寺から谷中銀座へ。






That cat on the roof is not a real cat. This area is known for all the cats and cat products you can buy so we tried to find as many of them as we could.

屋根にいる猫は本物じゃないよ。谷中ぎんざは猫で有名なので、私たちが何匹も探してみた。




We spotted another one.

猫また発見。


Beckoning cats?

招き猫?


A small pagoda in a little park in the neighborhood.

小さな公園にこういう建物が。


Who can this be?

これは誰だ?


Apparently the small shrine houses Okakura Tenshin, a thinker of art and a philospher of the Meiji Period.

岡倉天心の家の跡みたいですね。

I couldn't resist. An assortment of meat at a cheap price!!

肉好きの俺にたまならいものを発見。精肉店がそとで売てった肉の盛り合わせ!


We decided to have a snack at this taiyaki shop before heading our separate ways.

妻の友達が帰る前に私たちはこのたい焼きの店「たいち」に来ました。

We also had some azuki ice cream.

今日の冒険のコラージュ。


As it was getting late, my wife didn't want to bother cooking dinner so we went to the Ekiben shop at Tokyo station and bought our dinner there. I bought a pork bowl with miso while my wife bought Hello Kitty dinner.

この後、妻の友達と離れて私たちは東京駅に行きました。段々遅くなって妻が今夜の夕飯は東京駅の駅弁を買おうと提案。もちろん僕は賛成しました。自分が選んだのはみそ粕豚丼。妻が可愛い弁当を買った。ハロ・キティ。

And so ended our adventure before heading home to eat dinner.

そして今日の冒険の幕が閉じた。
