Shimata Part II ~Retro Land~

Why it is that the 50's and 60's are always portrayed as the "good times"?
In any case, Shibamata is the hidden jewl of the good ol' days. For me, it just felt retro but it was quite interesting that my parents had a twinkle of nostalgia as we walked around town.

 Kaishakuten Temple Grounds. So Serene.
 Quotes of the movie are all around the city. This was my favorite:
"Uncle..what is the purpose of living?"
"You ask hard questions. How do you say it, you know there are certain times in life when you think you were glad you were alive? You live for those moments."

 In the Tora-san museum aka retro museum. This is the replica of the movie set.

 The living room set where so much of the scenes took place

With my mama with the iconical suitcase  

 Sooo many different kinds of rice crackers....so amazingly good.
 Mum and dad were nonstop eating
 Richard Gere x Orangina x Tora-san ?!
This reminds me of the good ol' station in the countryside
