20491

Went to check out the Ultraman Shopping Street in Soshigaya, but first had to transfer trains at Noborito, which is Doraemon themed.
 

All sorts of Ultraman at Odakyu Soshigaya Okura where the Tsuburaya production used to be
Photos uploaded wonky...the train platform at Odakyu Soshigaya
Ultraman in front of the station
Even the light poles are Ultraman-ish


There are 2 Ultraman characters on each end of the shopping street
Yamatoya sells Ultraman manju
chocolate and custard
delicious!
Lunch at Kitchen Makabe in business since 1961 serves Western style foods
I ordered the rib roast pork ginger, super tender, not to gingery though...1760 yen (plus tax)

Still delicious, and I'm glad we were able to get seats since we did not have reservations.

Satoshi had the ebi don, 3 fried shrimp with egg, like oyakodon but with fried shrimp...1600 yen (plus tax)

we'll be back to try other items on their menu.

We were looking for the Ultraman manhole covers we realized we missed them because we didn't go to the very end of one of the shopping streets.

guess we'll need to go back! said Satoshi...
We did find Toho Studios!

Was amazing to see Godzilla and the Seven Samurai at the entrance.

And then we walked through Kinuta Park, which I've been to during cherry blossom season.

It was a beautiful day, though fahreezing.
