Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka

After lunch, we walked through an area called Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka referring to two of the streets that slope down from the temple at the top of the hill.  It was a walk through old world Japan with streets lined with old shops and structures.  I felt like this was right out of a movie set.

Sophon found a Ghibli studios shop.  I knew that he was hoping to find one. A few nights before, someone else mentioned that they were looking for it as well, their daughter had asked them to pick something up if they found one of the shops. I don’t know a whole lot about Anime but when these guys stumbled on the shop they were very excited.  While Sophon shopped, I soaked in the atmosphere of the hillside village.
