On saturday the 28th, Yuuki, Rumi, and I went to Asakusa and Kaminarimon, which is a popular tourist spot. Kaminarimon means Thunder Gate, and there is also a temple there with a bunch of vendors selling souvenirs along the long road between the gate and the temple. After sightseeing we had soba and then went to Rumi's place, and her generous mother made us more food!
２８日に浅草・雷門に観光しに行った。お寺があり、おみやげ・お菓子を売っている屋台が雷門とお寺の間の長い道に並んでいる。観光した後で、おそばを食べに行って、るみちゃんのマンションに戻った。るみちゃんの親切なお母さんがたくさん美味しい食べ物を作ってくれた。
