Kodomo Shizen Koen or Chiledren's Nature Park is only around 20 minutes from our Apartment.

I go to this park not so often, but if I want to relax, just get to connected with nature again, read books, jog, or basically just to have a walk the park, I go here.

This park has  a lot to offer every other season. 

Lush trees and green leaves..

Tasty Broth, Great Ramen!

One famous Tonkotsu ramen (pork based soup) in Tokyo is Kyushu Jangara Ramen (九州じゃんがら). 
Kyushu (九州 Kyūshū^?, lit. "Nine Provinces") is the southernmost of the four main islands that make up Japan, and it is home to their infamous creation, tonkotsu ramen.

Harajuku Kyushu Janagara Ramen's location was convenient, walking distance from Harajuku station and the entrance to the Yoyogi Park / Meiji Shrine.  

 I ordered the No.1 recommended which is  the Kyushu Jangara. 
1080 yen per order.

The Kyushu jangara has thin tender noodles.
The pork well seasoned.
And, the broth rich and flavorful.

Kyushu Jangara features thin slices if chashu(pork), big, thick, tasty pieces of braised pork belly. There’s also marinated cod roe (mentaiko), bamboo shoots, chopped green onions and poached egg among others. 

For a Ramen lover like me,
You won't be disappointed!

Definitely a good place for Ramen.
