This morning I finally made my way over to the pagoda that you can see in the distance from my apartment. Not as far away as it looked, it was only about a 10min walk. It's a nice little sanctuary among the otherwise semi-urban area and not another person was around - a stark contrast to the more touristy shrines and temples in Japan like the one I went to last weekend in Asakusa (blog and photos about that to come later). The pagoda is on a hill and after looking around, I came down the hill where there's a Lawson convenience store to buy lunch - onigiri (rice balls wrapped in dried seawead). Japan is a land of tradition and convenience.
