There is a Smoking Booth near Bandaiguchi-Exit on JR Niigata station. Oh, but let me tell you, I am not a smoking person. I have never ever smoked even a single cigarette through my life of more than a half century. Passive smoking was terrible when I was a young company man, but I have already retired from company work. Now I am free from smoke of others.
Anyway, I took the photo above, and then I walked to the other side of this smoking booth. What I found there was…

It reads;
BAN on Smoking Outside This Facility;
A lot of complaints are coming (to the City Office) due to part of users with bad manner. If this situation continues, this smoking booth would need to be demolished. We ask you to smoke only inside of the facility.
As if these big letters indicate how the Niigata municipal government is angry with bad smoking people.
And I thought that, if there are a lot of complaints, it would not be “part of users” but it might be “many of users”.






Thank you for taking a look at this post until the end. Good day,



It took more than one and a half hour for me to cook tonight’s supper.


Actually, it was a little stinky with fish smell. I should have poured some olive oil before wrapping it. I regretted not doing so.




The left board says that droppings from a dog shall be disposed properly by the dog’s owner.
The right board says that, when you play in this shrine area, do not break anything, do not make anything dirty, and put in your mind that we all have to keep the shrine clean.
But I can tell you that there is no longer any single kid playing in the shrine area. There are no kids around there because Japan’s society has already aged very much.






I have been busy for so long. That is all for today.



I hope they can survive this winter.





That’s it for yesterdays’ photos.
