店内飲食の待ち時間が３時間ということで、テイクアウトにした。土産店が併設されていたので見物しながら待っていると、失礼な態度で渡し口は外なのでそっちで待つように言われた。３７度程の灼熱で２０分程待たされた。連日熱中症で人が亡くなっているというニュースが流れる中、店員の対応も日除けも用意していない店舗にも大きな疑問を持つ。そのような店を選んだ我々の自己責任ではあるが、人が店の前で亡くなってからでは遅い...

Okayama Areas
Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
