We went on a date with Momotaro

Random Tidbits

-A unique experience in the countryside away from Tokyo-

I visited Okayama with my friend during the previous vacation.
We found a big peach and Momotaro post in front of the station, I felt as if we had been reading a fairy tale.
Okayama is known as Momotaro’s hometown. Is it because the city is famous for white peaches? Although November is not the best season to have a peach, we had fresh fish at Mamakari, the famous Sushi restaurant in Okayama.There are lots of sweets with peach flavor. I was ashamed of calling white peach “Shiromomo” (“Hakuto” is correct) by mistake when I talked to a store clerk.


After enjoying the scenic beauty of Okayama Korakuen, we took Momotaro Line to visit Kibitsu shrine famous for Kibi Dango. Only 20 minutes of boarding totally changed the scenery. It was idyllic and vast embraced by the mountains.
At the shrine, we wrote our wishes on Ema, a small wooden board. I was happy to draw Daikichi (excellent luck) Omikuji for the first time! If my wish comes true, I will come back here again!
