Present culture, past cultue. we like to record okikamuro cultures as many as poosible.
I received a request from a couple from Tokyo who were unable to find accommodation, so I asked them to come stay. However, only the husband participates, while the wife spends her time walking around the neighborhood.
While we were having drinks together, he told me, "I read The 'Forgotten Japanese'. I also read The 'Daioujo no Shima'. I'm a fan of Shinichi Sano.''
That's what it was. Access to my house was no accident.
Her husband was running a 100km course, so He set out around 3:30 in the morning.
The wife was thinking about where to go with a map in hand. The problem is rain. Originally, she wanted to walk from Okikamuro Island to the beach at the venue Katazoe beach, and then enjoy a picnic here and there.
"I want to go to Ryuzaki Onsen."
"Then I'll drive you to there."
I finished my breakfast and headed out. People cheering for runners along the roadsides of the island. I said "Good luck" and waved. It's a nice sight.
But the number of participants was amazing. Both sides of the road are narrow with people heading to the relay station at the end of the island and people making turns. It was so scary.
As she crossed the bridge and passed the Saren Awasango Tunnel, her husband was running.
"Hello, Matsumoto-san, thank you for your help."
"Thank you for your hard work. Shall we ride?"
“Ah~(ง `▽´)╯hahahaha!!”
Also some tourist information. Yuhi no Oka Observation Deck, Asagi Madara Garden, the story of the Great Ansei Earthquake and Tsunami, Tateiwa(tall rock)'s happiness(Prayer Rock), etc.
"(Sunset Hill) I looked through the binoculars, but I couldn't see anything. I was attacked (;゚;ж;゚;) Buu."
"It seems that the parking lot is prohibited here (sound 'no kissing').A local person might see a couple having a kissing and suggest it.Chewing(kissing) is prohibited."
“Wow, that’s interesting ٩( ᐖ )۶”
My car went up the farm road from Jikamuro, but the runner continued along the road along the coast.
Even after entering Tononyu prefectural road from the farm road, runners were lined up. My car took the road to Ryuzaki Onsen, so I said goodbye to all the runners there. Everyone will then go around Suo-Oshima and aim for the goal.
