Grilled Turban Shells at the End of the Road
#6 Hadomisaki Grilled Turban Shells
It was disappointing that I couldn’t take the Nanatsugama (七ツ釜) sightseeing boat, but thanks to that I was able to walk a little more through the alleys of Yobuko. I also got to see Yobuko Tenmangu (呼子 天満宮), and I felt relieved, as if I had explored Yobuko enough. Now it was time to say […]
