Hello 😊 This is Waraji, a Koshu regional cuisine restaurant. In March, sunlight in Shosenkyo Gorge grows warmer, and you can gradually feel the arrival of spring. Waraji’s traditional house has been renovated from a historic building dating back to the Edo period (about 150 years ago). The pillars and tables are made from fine timber, so while you enjoy the warmth of the wood, please savor our signature dishes, starting with hoto. In particular, the eel skillfully prepared by our veteran chefs is thick and tender; when coated with the sweet-and-savory secret sauce, it will surely keep you reaching for your chopsticks. We look forward to welcoming you and serving you a warm meal from the bottom of our hearts 😃

Onomichi, Hiroshima Recommended spots in Hiroshima #Kannon off the coast Mont Saint-Michel 👈 I went to Kannon off the coast in Onomichi City, also known as Mont Saint Michel in Onomichi, to photograph the Milky Way! 📸 You can see 🏯 the castle-like Kannondo on a small island On this day, the tide was low, so I attacked 📸 at a super low angle aiming for the reflation of the tide pool I was able to hide the heavy machinery and intense light of the factory on the island or avoid it at a low angle. However, because of my poor eyesight, I could only see the Milky Way dimly, and I didn't notice the puddles, so I soaked my feet and soaked the inside of 💧 my shoes. I managed to take a picture, so I'm going to take it. The development is based on your Milky Way.
