yTown & Gourmetz@ Searching for turtles in "Shinobazu Pond" (Tokyo pref.)
I once heard a lecherous old man rambling in a bar claim that "the shape of Shinobazu Pond is modeled after female genitalia, and Bentendo Temple is located where the clitoris is," a story with no apparent basis.
I don't know if it's true or not, but since Benzaiten is depicted as a "beautiful woman," it does kind of feel like there might be some truth to it...
Anyway, putting that aside, I'd like to go look for Japanese pond turtles as usual. @(Nihedon @ KesaranPasaran Lab)

Could this possibly be a Japanese pond turtle?
This was the only turtle I found that day, and it doesn't have the red or yellow markings on the sides of its neck, nor the three peaks on its shell, and the edges of its shell are somewhat jagged, so it might actually be a Japanese pond turtle!
This is a great find!
