京都の伏見十石舟?
ここは毎年行っても全然飽きない、すごく好きな場所です?✨

周囲も古い酒蔵や町屋で素敵な春を満喫。
川沿いを歩くと現世から離れた感覚を味わえます。

今春、神戸は三年ぶりに大型国際クルーズ船の受け入れを再開しました。
コロナ禍にあって中断されていた受け入れ……
再開の先陣をきっての入港は約5万5千トンを誇るセブンシーズ・エクスプローラーです。
神戸メリケンパークオリエンタルホテルに横付けするようにして停泊したその姿は、他を圧倒する威容ながらもとても美しいクルーズ船です。
そばまで近づくと、どちらが船でどちらがホテルか分からなくなりますよ。
なんと船内には映画館もあるのだとか。
乗船して世界中を旅してみたいものですが、この船は眺めるだけでも充分楽しめます。
巨大な構造物や船が好きな方、いかがでしょうか？
このセブンシーズ・エクスプローラーは今日3月1２日にいったん出航ですが、3月16~17日と3月30~31日にそれぞれ入港、停泊する予定ですよ。

My today's recommendation is Hakone. From where one can see several things, like lake ashi, mount fuji, owakudani volcano and many more. But I thing the best part is ridding the pirate ship over the lake ashi and enjoy the breath taking view of mount Fuji from the lake and also the view of Heiwa no torii. This red color torii gate is very famous tourist spot in Hakone.

神戸三宮フェリーターミナル。ここから宮崎へ行けます、展望デッキからの景色はとてもいい感じですよ。

「神戸、再発見」
シリーズ第６段はアートな港町、神戸港をお届け致します。

港湾内の突き出た埠頭に佇む大きなホテルには、豪華客船などの様々な大型船が停泊します。
私は帆船が停泊している時が一番好きで(写真は日本丸)、港はもう海外のリゾート地のような雰囲気に!!

波をイメージしたデザインのホテルはとても芸術的で、風の力で進む帆船はまさに機能美の極み。
そして背景には、偉大な自然の朝焼けが描かれました。

朝のこの時間帯は散歩やランニングをされている方々があちらこちらに……
私はTwitterをよくしますが、このホテルの写真を投稿した折には「想い出の場所」とのご返信をよく頂きました。
人と空と海の街、これからもたくさんの想い出が生まれる事を祈って。

Some photos of our trip to Sawara in Chiba Prefecture over the 3 day weekend a couple weeks back.

On the way to Sawara we stopped at Chiba Station and had lunch at a place called Common Café. I order a burger not expecting a lot, but it was the best burger I've had in a long time actually.

We arrived a bit late in Sawara and were kind of tired so we decided to just go to the hotel, shower and relax for a bit and then have dinner.
We had a reservation at a French restaurant called Mougins and it ended up being a really great experience.

After eating dinner we were headed back to the hotel and we heard some hayashi and cheering in the distance and we decided to check out what was happening. We found a dashi parading through the streets and they were stopping at different places to pick up alcohol lol. Apparently they'd been doing it every Sunday, I think since corona started.
It was pretty cool to see though.

The next day we went to check out the Sawara Historical District and after reaching our destination we decided to take a break at a cafe. We ordered a shaved ice and some sort of soda. They were both really delicious, especially the shaved ice. It was some sort of flavor using tea from Kyoto and milk. I forget what it was called exactly though.

We also stopped by the former residence of Inoh Tadataka, the famous Japanese cartographer.
It was quite interesting seeing where he lived.
After visiting his residence, we to the nearby museum and learned about his life and everything he did.

I was pretty blown away by how incredible he actually was. I was a bit surprised that I hadn't learned much about him when I was studying the history of Japan, but after visiting the museum I'm convinced he was truly a genius.

Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures inside of the museum, but seeing all of the tools that he used to draw maps and learning how they worked was really interesting.
On top of that, the maps he drew were unbelievably accurate.
I think it mentioned somewhere that his maps were used until the 1900's, despite being drawn several hundred years prior.
His cartography was only one of the endeavors he pursued as well. There were also some documents that explained how he helped his town get through the famine, and also documents detailing how he dealt with local lords imposing taxes on his town.

Besides the museum, we also took a boat ride through the canal that ran through the historical district.
The canal was quite nice, and you could see the historical buildings that lined the sides of it while going through it.
We had to lower the cover on the boat for several bridges as the water level was quite high due to the recent rains, but that just made the experience even more memorable.

The tour guide on the boat mentioned how when the canal was used back in the Edo period, it was incredibly busy and boats would have been bumping into each other constantly while passing through.

During the boat ride through the canal I noticed some interesting statues on various lanterns and decided to check them out. They all turned out to be interesting and unique.

We ended our trip by having a late lunch near the historical district.
We had planned to take a train back to Tokyo but missed it by a few minutes.
Fortunately, a bus arrived at the perfect time and so we rode that back to Tokyo. It was much better than the crowded trains.

Overall it was a really good day-trip style excursion and I definitely recommend it!
Managed to find 2 poke lids too!

A photo I took a little while back while on a small boat ride through Tokyo. This photo was of Ishikawajima Park, a small riverside park that looks like it'd be a nice place to relax and have some lunch with a friend or date or just get some fresh air. I'd like to come back and visit the area when I have some time and see what else is in the park, as well as take a look at the surrounding buildings and what they might have in the area as far as restaurants and shopping, etc. It's really nice that Tokyo seems to be returning to a relatively normal state and I'm seeing more people out and about and infection numbers don't seem to be on the rise currently. Hopefully this trend continues and I can start going out more and visiting all of the eateries and stuff I've been missing out on over the last year and a half!

Some photos I took during my visit to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. I really enjoyed seeing the recreations of the Edo cityscape and seeing what the city would have looked like back in the day. I like that you can also get a feel for what life was like at that time and you can even see people doing various jobs or holding tools related to them. I enjoyed seeing the boats as well, as it showed how shipping would been carried out at the time, and you also get to see the architecture of the ships, which was really awesome in my honest opinion. I also tried getting a decent photo of Tokugawa Ieyasu but I was really short on time when visiting as the museum was about to close, so I definitely need to go back there again. I wanted to see some of the other exhibits as well, stuff like the Great Kanto Earthquake exhibits, etc. so I have an excuse to visit again lol.

Went to a nearby waterfront park area and saw some yakatabune and other nice views. Got some nice fresh air together and even saw someone catch a fish. It looked like a pretty decent size fish too, but I couldn’t take a photo of it. We realized the planters on the way back were shaped like small boats so I took a photo of one. Thought it was kind of neat

Ahhh the cherry blossoms this year were amazing as usual. They left almost as soon as they arrived too. I was able to see them a good amount though so I've got no complaints. Until next year I suppose! I've never been to Chidorigafuchi Park but I've heard it's a nice place. This photo actually reminds me of, I think it was Onuma National Park in Nanae, Hokkaido. They had boats like this and cherry blossoms and my girlfriend and I went on a nice ride around the area. I'd love to go back there as it was a really nice place. I need to check out this park though too, it's really close too so I should be able to get out there relatively easily.
