Starbucks in Toyama and eating ekiben on the Shinkansen to Hikone and Kyoto Tower~!

#Travel itinerary

Yesterday, I entered Nagoya, toured Hokuriku (Fukui-Kanazawa-Toyama), and fell asleep in Kanazawa. I woke up at 6 and attended breakfast at 6:30. It was a morning full of Ishikawa-produced rice and side dishes, full of Kaga and Noto.

I went to Toyama with my coworkers. If you get 5 manhole cards, you clear the mission. Toyama Kansui Koen Starbucks is next to the manhole distribution center, so this is my 5th visit. At first, I came twice during the day and night, once each to take pictures of Pokemon and Kitty manholes.

The goal of this trip was to receive the Kitty manhole cards given by Toyama City, but oh no, almost all of them were checked, but the information desk where they were distributed said that the museum was closed, so they were closed. I failed. I have to change my schedule for the 4th day, Gifu Prefecture.

Still, I don't panic and receive the remaining four manhole cards as scheduled. I get a DM from Osaka Inchin. It's a reply asking if I can see it today, but it's a message saying it's going to be difficult. I can just do Plan B.

I take the Shinkansen to Tsuruga, buy some Sabaekiben, and go to Hikone. It's drizzling because the rain has slowed down compared to Hokuriku. I get two manhole cards and go to Moriyama to get one more.

I go to Kyoto Station and climb Kyoto Tower. This is my first time climbing Kyoto Tower in my 40th visit to Kyoto. I've never been there before because the Kyoto people say it's an eyesore, but I'm forced to climb it because I'm on the Tower Tour. But it's really great~!!! The view is great and the telescopes are free.

I ordered it through Stavattiva Mobile Order and took the Haruka to Osaka. It's a limited express slower than Shinkaisoku, but I'll have some extra seats. I'll tour Hikone and Kyoto from Toyama and head to my Osaka accommodation. thank you.
