Summer-only Menu “Chilled Noodle – Hiyashi Chuuka” is still available in October

I went to a town next to my village today. I had to go to the branch office of the city hall to get the national ID card of mine. The card is called “Mai Nambaa Caado (my number card)”, which is often shortened as “Maina Caado”. This “Maina” sounds like “Minor”, but nothing has to do with minority kind of things.

Railway

I got on a local train to go the next town.

Water Drinking Place

On the way, I found a facility to serve drinking water. But is there anyone who drinks water here?

Shrine that I visited on the way back

After I got the card, I walked to back to the JR station. I know there is a shrine near the railway, but today was the first time for me to visit this shrine.

Glass Wind Chimes

Today was a windy day. These wind chimes were making sounds with wind blow. I didn’t know why there were so many wind chimes in this shrine.

Chilled Noodle “Hiyashi Chuuka (冷やし中華)”

I wanted to eat a hot Rahmen for my lunch. But I found that the chilled noodle was still available. The Hiyashi Chuuka is summer-only menu, but now it’s month of October.  I guessed they were still serving it because the summer of this year has been too hot and lasted long.
