Japanese Ramen Noodle

Yummy!
We love a Japanese noodle called "Ramen".
Have you ever taste?
If not , it is worth trying it!
Soy sauce and miso taste are very popular.
I think Ramen are become more popular like a sushi.
Do you think so?
Anyway, in Japan there are more that thousand Ramen shop around.
So much competition! Look this museum just for ramen.
I'm exciting to show you about this website "Ramen Museum" in Yokohama.

Kamakura : Tsrugaoka Hachiman-gu


We visited Tsrugaoka Hachiman-gu at Kamakura.
Kamakura is a less than one hour train ride from Tokyo.
This is a Torii at Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu.
"Torii" is made for the entrance of the site of the Shinto Shrine.
There are temples, shrines and other historical monument aroud Kamakura.
It's nice to walk aroud there.
I think Kamakura is little bit similar to Kyoto.

There is a Shinto shrin in the inside among trees.
Sound that the cicada chirps, sound that leaves shakes by a soft breeze,
quietness and peaceful time goes by.
