Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

FCBC Love Japan Crisis Relief Trip, 6-13 Apr 2011 (Part 1 of 4)
You will not find me writing my experiences on the crisis relief trip here. The journaling was done elsewhere. It was intended to bring about only places to eat and shop, where most travel blogs or websites will not have information on unreach places in the country.

I ended up in Japan early April, where radiation situation was a threat and many aftershocks continued to occur. Lives are per normal for those who are not affected by the earthquake. Those who are living near to the affected areas will ration the food to be sold, electricity to be used, fuel to be pumped etc, as there are still shortage of supplies in Japan.


On some days, shops were not opened due to electricity cut and we had to depend on our biscuits and energy bar. On other days, we just dropped into any shop that was opened and willing to serve us food.


We had dinner at Joyfull on our first night stay at Kurihara. They served quite a variety of western and japanese food. The waiter was patient and polite throughout. This is the side view of Joyfull. The building may not look appealing, but food was delicious.


Here's another place where you can have good dinner if you do visit Kurihara. The serving portion was quite huge, even the guy can't finish the soba.
