Akita Road Trip Day 1 Part 1

 Went with S on his road trip to Akita for his shrine stamp collection once again. Set off early at 6am and reached his first shrine at 9am in Akita. I noticed some of the shrines in Akita all have childcare facilities. S said its quite common in Iwate and Akita area but I have not seen this type in Aomori and Hachinohe. Had slight quarrel with S as I was getting hungry and when I became hungry I will also become angry lol....... The wait was worth it when he brought me to kotooka roadstation and ate the jumbo size fried prawns set! It was at least 3 times bigger than a typical fried prawn. I was at last happy again haha!
