     Thank you, @globalc. I don't remember it well, but Google Maps says I've already been there 2 years ago and liked it!

     The shokunin cuts the soba quickly and precisely with some sort of scaled machete tool, sometimes while looking sideways!

     The god on the right is Ebisu. I don't recall the name.of the one on the left with the hammer.

     But there's no time to visit this temple...

     This is the birthplace of Shigeru Mizuki, author of the famous youkai anime "Gegege no Kitaro".

     In the afternoon, we visited a park dedicated to Tove Jansson, the Scandinavian author of the Moomin children's books.

     I'm guessing all the buildings in this park are inspired from the Moomins comic books.

     I loved the きのこの家 (mushroom house) with real grass growing on the roof.

     The interior is just amazing. I wonder who designed it...
