gacha gacha no mori ribasuku

After lunch at Codie's, I walked to Yamashita Park to see the roses

so many furry people out and about

 

I wasn't too sure if I was early for rose season or if "this was it", still, it was nice to see

kochia

unusual colored coleus

found an interesting objet...zangiri, which commemorates the birthplace of Western style barbering in Japan during the late 19th century

caught these two talking story

found the statue of the girl with red shoes

blog friend, Kirk, also posted about the girl with red shoes in San Diego, which is Yokohama's sister city

Nearby is the Industry and Trade Center

And in the basement is the Gacha Gacha no Mori Ribasuku, which I learned about from social media

not sure what ribasuku stands for…

Entrance fee is 10 yen (or more) this money is given to charities

This shop is tiny but they let you see the toys from the gacha gacha machines, so you can buy the one you actually want at the price that the gacha machines sell them for

since BFF likes otters, I found one for her...300 yen (tax included)

I'm glad I checked this place out and it was a nice walk after eating such a big lunch
