I serch and find a coffee shop with flag. And ordered "Uji-kintoki" shaved ice.

If you go to Uji City, you have to serch a coffee shop with the flag sharbet_kanban.gif.
And
-- 1. First, confirm the place name, "Is this Uji?".
-- 2. Then, order in Japanese, "Uji-kintoki speaker.gif, Please". (Click the speaker icon!)
I promise you can let waitress laugh! Don't forget! (^o^)

Diary
0503_15.jpgThe breakfast was great!!
At AM 8:30 the last start! Untill border of Wakayama and Nara, it continued very gentle climbing. A house wife was riding mama-chari bicycle. The skyline became gentle. I felt I was clese to urban place.
At PM 2:30 I reached Nara. I was convinced I could reach Kyoto, and bought a train ticket from Kyoto to Shin-Yokohama.
After big noodle lunch I began to run again. From Nara to Kyoto is very flat. I ran, ran, just ran.
At PM 6:00 in the sunset, I reach the goal of this touring, "Sanju-Sangendo" temple. I got it!
