I had a cheeseburger set (onion fries and blended coffee) at ‘AKIGAWA BASE’ in Akiruno City!
Even though it was a warm sunny day, it was still too early for soft ice cream, so we'll see you next time (>_<)
When I went to eat udon, it was winter break (T_T).
While I was feeling disappointed, a traffic accident occurred in front of the shop between a car running a red light and a motorcycle that hadn't had a proper safety inspection!
While helping with the rescue, an ambulance arrived.
After that, I left it to the paramedics and had a beef bowl lunch at the nearby Sukiya.
For dessert after the meal, I ate milk × black sesame gelato at Enomoto Farm and then went home!
あきる野さんぽ
I went out on my motorbike to the city of Akiruno.
30th Nov. 2023
本日、急遽休み〜
そうだあきる野、行こう。
黒茶屋でランチ!
ランチには早いので、二宮神社の御池を散策。
TVなどで「モネの池」と紹介されたみたいだけど…
モネねぇ〜(^^;;
Today, a sudden break~.
That's right, Akiruno, let's go!
Lunch is at Kurochaya!
Before lunch, we strolled around the pond at Ninomiya Shrine.
It seems to have been introduced on TV as ‘Monet's Pond’…
Next, visit a sake brewery.
Nakamura Sake Brewery.
The Chiyotsuru Sake Brewery Museum is also located here.
You can see old tools and documents for free. You can buy sake as well as small snacks.
いい時間になったのでいざ黒茶屋へ!
テラスで食べられるということなので、持ち帰りメニューの “だし巻き玉子サンド” を注文!
少々時間がかかるらしいので庭を散策したりおやき買ったりお土産物色して暇つぶしw
玉子サンドを受け取り “野外テラス水の音” でランチタイム。
日当たりも良く少し暑かったんでドリンクはノンアルビール!
食べ終わると少し寒くなってきたんで早々に退却😅
It's now a good time to go to Kurochaya!
I ordered a ‘dashimaki tamago sandwich’!
We had to wait for a while, so we took a walk in the garden to kill some time.
After receiving my ‘dashimaki’ egg sandwich, I went to the outdoor terrace ‘Mizunone’ for lunch.
It was sunny and a bit hot, so we drank non-alcoholic beer!
I was free from work, so I took a break from the company and went on a petit touring!
There was a traffic jam around KINCHAKUDA, so I took a detour to KOMA Shrine.
Since there is time until the scheduled time, I left to metsä village to drink cold coffee. However, as soon as I arrived, I was instructed to return immediately because my schedule had changed, so I immediately withdrew without taking off my helmet
After finishing my housework, I rode a Vespa to Tachikawa Babel to watch the live performance of Boots Walker, which had come all the way from Numazu in the evening
ゴールデンウィーク振りのBoots Walker
相変わらずカッコよかった(^-^)b
Boots Walker for the first time in Golden Week
It was as cool as ever.
往路は最短距離で、復路は少し遠回りw
The shortest way to go, a little detour on the way back
[Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro]'s tribute meatball spaghetti was delicious!
Next time, let's have beef tendon curry!
On the way back, I took a break at [Iruma City Tea Industry Park].
The nearby [Chanowa] is expensive at 3000 yen for 90 minutes by reservation system, but this one is free without reservation(^-^)
Dam cards can be obtained at the Honjo Tourist and Agricultural Centre, a short distance from here.
*You need a photo to receive a dam card.
I obtained my dam card at the Honjo Tourism and Agriculture Centre!
The Hyakutai Kannon Hall at Seishin-in Temple is known as one of Japan's three largest Sazae Halls, along with Shosoin Temple in Aizuwakamatsu City and Sogenji Temple in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture. After paying the entrance fee, visitors are given a detailed explanation of the temple's history at the reception desk.

After the Aizu Sazae-do hall on Mt Iimori, two major Sazae-do halls have been conquered.
The only one left is the Sogenji sazae-do hall in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture.
Let's go there one day.
続きまして… 玉淀ダム。
Next up: the Tamayodo Dam.
折原橋から
From the Orihara Bridge
足場の撤去作業中でした
Scaffolding was being removed, so it wasn't a great view.
なんと!ダムカードは玄関脇の発券機で!
What a surprise! Dam cards are available at the ticketing machine by the entrance!
これで埼玉県のダムカードは荒川第二調節池のみ!
The dam card in Saitama Prefecture is completed at the Arakawa Second Adjustment Pond.
