• Picture Wall : Photo 1

On the way to work I found the picture wall.
There is the police station in Kurashiki. Now it is under renovation. So there is a tall wall for construction.

Generally, a wall for construction is just a wall. But this wall is so nice. Pictures are painted. These were drawn by children in preschool. This is a good idea.

I felt as if I found a little happiness outside of passenger window.

  • PASTA WATARIGANI : Photo 1

My favorite restaurant is Ristorante MINORIZUKI. It is in Kurashiki. It takes about 10 minutes from Kurashiki Station by car.

I went to eat lunch with my husband and friend. Pasta I had wanted to eat was Pasta WATARIGANI. What a wonderful Pasta! It was Pasta in a rich and special sauce made by Chef.

You can eat Pasta WATARIGANI at Ristorante MINORIUKI until the end of December 2011.

  • ITAMI JUZO MUSEUM : Photo 1

I went to Matsuyama with my husband and friend this September. It took about 2 and half hours from Kurashiki by car. We turned off the Matsuyama highway at Matsuyama Interchange. It took about 10 minutes to Itami Juzo Museum from there. We found it on our right side.

What a black house! So nice. I was more excited when I went into the Museum. Outside was black and cool, but inside was wooden and warm. There was a courtyard in the center of house. It was so lovely to have a tea time with seeing this courtyard. I would like to visit there again.

  • KEIMA KAMABOKO : Photo 1

Do you know the city Onomichi in Hiroshima ? There are many temples there. It takes about an hour to Onomichi from Kurashiki by train.

KEIMA KAMABOKO SHOP is on the Onomichi arcade. You can buy Kamaboko formed into Shogi piece. Shogi is a Japanese traditional table game. It is a good gift to take home. Of course its taste is so delicious.
