Ota City Tourist Center's Ota City Tour

An awesome day to enjoy the beginning of spring in Tokyo when sakura flowers bloom everywhere!! Many thanks to the Ota City Tourist Information Center and its friendly and knowledgable tour guides for the wonderful time and explanations to every tourist site we visited in Ota city (web: https://tokyoactivity.com/)

The tour started from the Ota City Tourist Information Center office in Keikyu Kamata station with a brief introduction of the tour guides and the tour program. Then, we briefly stopped by a Budhist shrine, located just accross from the Keikyu Kamata station.

A few steps away, we entered the Kamata Hachiman shrine, a Shinto shrine for the God of foxes (see the Kamata Hachiman Shrine article).

After the Kamata Hachiman shrine, we walk along the cherry blossom lane by the Nomigawa river towards Kamata JR Station. Kirei .... (beautiful) ... ^_^ .

Along the way, we entered the Kamata shopping street, a 300 meter long street filled with shops and restaurants.

In Ikegami, there is one particular ramen shop (forgot its name) that had a long line of customers. Our tour guide said that it is one of the top three best ramen shop in Tokyo. We stopped by two shops that sell delicious traditional Japanese snacks.

In Kamata JR station, we hopped on to a train to Ikegami station to visit the Ikegami Honmonji Temple. Read about Ikegami Honmoji Temple in a another article. Ikegami is a small, serene town. However, it is the location of Honmonji Temple. A temple that is dedicated to one of Japan's important Buddhist figures.
