Hakone Soba in Odawara Station

Hakone Soba is one of the biggest fast food restaurant chains located both inside and outside Odakyu-Line Station.

The restaurant offers Japanese Soba or noodles and donburi or Japanese dish on rice at reasonable price.

The cost performance is very high. Many people are concerned about the price in Japan, but we have many reasonable restaurants.

First, buy a ticket!

Next, go to a counter!

This is a self-service restaurant.

Many people waiting for Shinkan-sen or the bullet train after Hakone sight-seeing enjoy the restaurant.

You don't have to hesitate to enter Japanese fast food restaurant. Each menu has its picture or sample.
Many visitors from other countries also enjoy the restaurant.

I ate Cold Soba or brown noodle while I was waiting for Shinkansen.

Shibuya scramble intersection

The Shibuya scramble intersection is located in front of Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection.

Three large TV screens mounted on nearby buildings overlook the crossing.

At its rush-hour height, the Scramble is flooded by 2,500 pedestrians

Everyone is waiting

Suddenly, the light changs and vehicles vanish from the intersection.
The pedestrians on the four corners surge forward.

Keika Ramen in Shibuya

Keika Ramen is one of the very popular Kumamoto (Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu ) Ramen  restaurants located in the main cities in Tokyo.
Kumamoto Ramen is based on the soup with pork belly and bones. It is oily and richy.

Some people really like Kumamoto Ramen, but some people don't.
I love Kumamoto Ramen and Keika Ramen.


It is a Ramen restaurant so does not have a good atmosphere.
