Japan Narita june 2019 # 5







Japan
Lay over
24 hours



Narita
nice little village to visit
and 30 minutes not far from  the airport

15 minutes to get to the village
bus is free it connects to other hotels that I would perhaps go to...
but....


Hilton hotel there is horrible HUmidifier in the room no fresh air carpet in the room
ooh it gives you the chill and makes you sick with sinus problem brrr but

Narita village
worth the visit.

I was looking for dinner
sushi
of course

weather was not with me
I saw a few boutique

and yes
I found what I wanted
YUKATA !
EUREKA!

its that hard to find a yukata
in cotton

not in silk can not afford it

and of course not in polyester where you sweat in

So I got in that tiny boutique
where it says
crew discount
yes !


perfect !
I need one for my mom of course
my favorite babysitter
checking on my dog
and one for me
to remember my time in Japan

talk to this lovely lady
who hardly speak english

perfect
when i got out it started to rain
pouring rain
and guess what
just beside a sushi place
perfect

strange place
to tell you the truth
I found there aren't too many young men in sushi place
they are always old man
so the sushi is not quite perfect
I order strange thing
and a tiny saké to warm me up

but luckily
i order tuna

and never never never never order spicy tuna in that shop

too spicy


so after this I went to the hotel


asia jet lag ...
but the room
so humid so filty
old air


the next morning I decided to go find this street I was looking for
the one I saw with all the little shop
it was in fact the street I bought my yukata
but because of the rain I stop walking to finally get there

to the beautiful temple area
big one small one there are a few on the site
so peaceful when there aren't anyone around


people should go there in silence but
I guess
japanese little kids just like chinese do what they want ...running around and yelling ....

a complete different mentality on how to raise a child
but

I manage to be in peace with myself think of all the terrible things that happen to me


listen to this man humming
than saw beautiful temple
and got to see my first celebration
arrive kind of late but
the drums the fire the colorful monk yukata not sure if you call that yukata
woa

and I bought another one for my friend's birthday gift
ate gyoza
and waited for the bus
slept a little bit
eat tiny mini square sandwich and went back to montreal
I heard the gin in Japan is excellent
so I thin my uncle will be very happy


perfect its a sunny its very early so its very peaceful to start the day

































it does say hot dog wonder what it means in japanese 























































































pour la longevité




I love old Japanese drawings

I went to the celebration in the temple I was a bit late but it was amazing the fire the drums for all the times i go to temples I never assisted at a celebration it was awesome. Afterwards while I was putting my shoe back I saw the monks Sohei leaving the vibrant colors of their  monksuke was so different I was rushing to get close to them to take a picture....





ceiling inside the shops











                        one girl learning with the master in front of many photographers
the eel master cutter






than they put it on a broche and grill them for lunch or dinner

is that humongous sea cucumber not sure 


many more eel cutters wearing Canadian crocs. Apparently it is the village to eat eels they are very famous around here. 



hum interesting




                                                                little bells charm


Japanese medecine




typical little restaurant I had gyoza here wanted the ramen but by the time i got there it was too hot to eat


they love their ramen



gyoza

Japanese ladies fashion

yukata for my mom  made in Japan

yukata for my friend 

yukata for me too not cheap but its not every day you celebrate your birthday and change dozens

this security at the airport makes gives me the chill trust me this was made so poorly its to doubt about your safety on board...







It was a very interesting day at the site of the temples I could have gone further up but it was my first time investigating in this area with the bus and all I had to go back to the hotel and sleep a little bit right! 
I was hungry by the time i arrive a t the hotel bought mini tiny sandwich for my wake up before going to work. 
I bought a nice bottle of gin at the airport as well Whisky gin and Yukata are a sure thing to bring back. 
Hope you enjoy you quick visit to Japan


                                                                              Sayonara!
