Namja Town

The Thursday before we headed to Misawa, we stayed in Tokyo so we would have a shorter train ride to Tokyo Station to pick up the shinkansen (bullet train). We decided to check out one of the many food-themed "amusement" parks here in Japan. Namja Town has some "amusements," but is mostly (for us non-Japanese readers anyway) a food paradise. First we checked out Gyoza Stadium. Not a stadium, but it had lots of specialty gyoza. We're not sure what all they had in them, but the ones we tried were delicious.

There were lots of little spaces in which to eat. The "stadium" was decorated to look like Tokyo in the 1950s, and this was set up like a typical Japanese living room in the '50s.

After trying gyoza, we headed to Ice Cream City. Adam insisted on soft ice cream (his favorite). We tried the four flavor tray - we picked soda, apple, grape/white peach swirl, and sakura (cherry blossom). It was good!


After getting back, Adam and Lottie were ready to check out the hotel room. The TV cabinet was the most fun!
