Tonight I walked some distance on the side of town with nothing on it. I found a supermarket and some overpasses for some long exposures.
The supermarket has dinosaurs on it, because everything does. For me, tomorrow is the day, tomorrow I will go to the dinosaur museum.
Clearly the dinosaur museum is the main show in town, and remember it is actually nowhere near here, it is 31km away in Katsuyama. The best evidence of dinosaur museum domination I have found so far is that not only was there no one in the station this evening, but the Burger King was closed, and on the door was a sign with a sleeping dinosaur which I translated, and it said they too are closed on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month.
Of course I was not wanting to go to Burger King, instead I decided to give pasta another go, this time without cream.
Overpass east of the station. Not a lot going on.
I found a drain, even less going on.
But then I found a supermarket, where there is a lot going on.
A great feature of Japanese supermarkets is that they often have this little eating area with a microwave, to heat up and eat the food they sell at the deli section in the store. I did this in Nikko once.
Final reminder that tomorrow is dinosaur museum day.
The top floor of the Seibu department store has a small restaurant floor. About 8 restaurants, half of them are specialist crab places like everything around here.
So I decided on pasta. I made absolutely sure I got a non cream variety. Tomato and eggplant. Not bad.
Tomorrow, dinosaurs (no hiking).
