The Second day of  Ikasho,  We went to Mizusawa Kannon and ate Mizusawa Udon(Noodle).















I


Mizusawa Udon is Three Japanese Udon Place.(Sanuki, Inaniwa,and Mizusawa)
Our hotel guest service recommended this noodle shop, It has only zalu-udon with sesame sauce.

There are 3 size, small , middle , big, I choose middle size.
It's very refreshing, and taste good.

Express "Odoriko"

Today's photo is  Train topics after a long interval(?)

I took Express "Odoriko" at last weekends.

"Odoriko" means dancer in Japanese.

It named after famous novel of "Izu no Odoriko" written by Kawabata Yasnari(He  received the Nobel in Literature.).

This is latest model Romance car. 

I took last Sunday, when I come back to my home.

Seats are wide then previous model.

I'm going to go Izu this weekend for my freind's wedding.

I'm looking forward what type the train I get on.

The Odakyu Romance Car

I took a train to my hometown.

This is Ltd, Exp. Odakyu Romance Car.

This train travels between Shinjuku(Tokyo) and Hakoneyumoto(Kanagawa) in 85 minutes(shortest).

I remember once I came back from university town to hometown, I took this type Romance Car.

This express is famous for local people reasonably priced, like a cup of coffee.

For example, my reserved fare is 480 yen.(Starbucks latte grande is 420 yen in Japan.)

The train had a free paper about Hakone and Odawara. 

It's about tourist infromation.

When you have a chance to take this train, I recommend Super Hakone(S Hakone), type VSE.

This train has  many good service, for example, the conductor took a photo.

It's very simple but  it makes the journey more  memorable.
