佐倉ふるさと広場 風車のコスモス畑

I was walking down the street yesterday and saw this poster and couldn't help but laugh because I was so surprised to see something like it. I'd assumed that crossbows were already illegal since I never saw them anywhere but it seems I was wrong. Not that I was planning on buying one any time soon lol. In America, I'd hunted using bows and rifles but that was quite a while ago. Most people always practiced their shooting at ranges specifically built for archery but I suppose I've never seen or heard of that in Japan now that I think about it. But the hunting culture in Japan is certainly quite different than that of my home country. It's interesting to see the differences between things like this.

Went to Hanaya Yohei, a restaurant near Oku Station and ordered the Miso-Nikomi Udon. It tasted pretty good and cost less than ¥1000 yen. I'd like to go back as the atmosphere of the restaurant was quite nice and it seemed like there was a lot of different menu items to try. I'd walked past the restaurant so many times in the past, and just never had the opportunity to go in until now. Overall it was a pretty good place and even though it seemed like there was a lot of people we got seated instantly which was nice.

滝を見に行ったら、栗が落ちていました。 家族で栗拾いがしたいと何年も前から話していたので偶然拾えてうれしかったです。

I tried to take a decent photo of Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower in Shinjuku, but didn't have enough to to really get up close to it unfortunately, so this building is in the way lol. I didn't realize that the tower was filled with educational facilities until now. Apparently the architects liked the cocoon shape because they felt it symbolized the nurturing of the students that would be inside of it. It's pretty interesting and a great concept in my opinion. Japan has a lot of cool architecture, both modern and historic and I love seeing them both. Hopefully next time I visit Shinjuku I'll be able to get a better view of the tower, although it might be a while lol. Either way, pretty cool place!
