Ozu Kannon
There’s shopping street in front of Ozu Kannon and lots of shops are along the street like taiyaki shop and dango shop.
I heard that there are always lots of people. But as you see,there were few people when we got to there. It was very cold day… Of course inside the temple, too.
But we felt solemn atmosphere in such a calm temple 🙂
Where?
It is located close to Ozu Kannon station (metro).

Niisuzume Honten
When you visit Ozu Kannon, there’s a sweets shop that have MUST dessert that you eat.
The shop’s name is Niisuzume honten. They’re mitarashi dango shop.
Where?
It’s located along Ozu Shopping street.
Simple dango shop
They serve mitarashi dango and kinako (soybeans flour) dango only. 90 yen each. Incredibly inexpensive !
We shared both.
The older lady cooked our dango in front of us 🙂
Kinako dango (きなこ団子, 90 yen)
It have five balls. Umm. Five brothers ? :p I choked on the powder. But delicious.
Mitarashi dango (みたらし団子, 90 yen)
They keep adding ingredients into the pot that have their secret sauce. The sauce isn’t sweet. I like it.
“Eat here”
We felt like walking along the street with the dango but the notice says we should eat in front of the shop.
Maybe it’s because walking with sticks is in danger.
Those plastic bottles are for spent sticks.
