It was chance that brought me to this neighborhood.

My local temple is less than five minutes away. I go there to relax, …

… to have a look at the cats, …

… even when the weather is cold.

Some are small, …

… some stand in a row …

… and some stand out.

This is my station …

… with Shibuya in the distance.

Apartments are small around here, …

… this is a common sight.

The shops have a lot to offer.

This one offers Ichigo Daifuku.

I tried to make them myself. Well, the result tasted much better than it looked. The rice dough is really sticky and the process was much messier than it looked on the Internet.

Some restaurants have live displays on the street.

When I came here I experienced the supermarkets as a confusing maze of unfamiliar foods and signs. I learned a lot. I had good teachers.

This is one of my favorite suppliers …

… and this was my way home.

I met some great people here. I would choose this place again.
