Aoyama water supply park

Last Sunday I dropped by a park called "Aoyama water supply park". You can see peacocks and rabbits, and take a walk in the park. It would be a more wonderful park if they take care of. ⭐️⭐️

Tohkamachi

I went on a day trip to Tohkamachi area last Monday.

At first Noh-butai in Matsudai. That is a kind of art museum with a nice restaurant. We were supposed to eat soba in another restaurant, so we didn't have lunch there. I liked a souvenir shop in the building, but others facilities..... I didn't. I guess it is not so old, but it seemed not to be taken care of. SAD!!



Race field shaped stairways called "tanada" in Hoshi-tohge.
There were a lot of people taking photos.
Yes, it was a nice spot to take photos!



Soba restaurant called "Small Sky" in Yasuduka.
The interior was nice, soba was yummy, a little hard type.



I went to see some "Kominka",which is remodeled old house, designed by Karl Benks from Germany. Do you like them?


"Kiyotsu Canyon" is one of most famous sightseeing spot in Niigata pref. It cost 600 yen for the admission fee. You have to walk more than 30 mins in the tunnel. I think it was so-so. Maybe it will be great in autumn.



"Bijin-hayashi woods" was so nice to visit. Tranquil, neat and beautiful woods. I love it!

Okonomiyaki Hompo (Okonomiyaki Restaurant)

In the evening I went to a restaurant called "Okonomiyaki Honpo".

I'm from Osaka, you know, Osaka is famous for Okonomiyaki, I think this restaurant is the best Okonomiyaki place in Niigata.

We ordered "Butatama" which is simple but best Okonomiyaki. 690yen.

As usual, it was sooooo yummy!!

Cat Cafe - Amipa -

I went to a new cat cafe with my husband. It is called "Amipa". There is also a fishing pond in this building.

There are 13 cats. One of cats is getting on your knee by itself. So cute!!

I went there on Sunday afternoon. There were 3 groups before us. I expected full of girls, but actually 2 couples and 1 girl-group.

Kyoto 喬都 Soba noodle restaurant

Hi, there! I'm sorry for a loooong silence😣. I'll try to update my blog.

Today I went to a soba noodle restaurant called "Kyoto". It's the same pronunciation as a historical city name in West Japan, but written in different kanji.

My husband and I arrived on 12:40, at that time,not so many people, but soon, it was full of customers.

The interior was Japanese style and very very clean!!

We ordered "Tenzaru", which is cold soba noodle and tempura. It cost 1600yen each , a bit expensive, but it came with two big shrimps!! It is a big deal!

Taste was good!
