This is no time to be playing Dracula.
Total of 17 hours wasted on Friday~Saturday: ....... This is not good: .......
So on Sunday, I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and set off for touring. We took the Chuo Expressway and Tomei course of the Dora-wari Touring Round Trip Plan to the Nirasaki Interchange.
Sunflower
The Tomei, Ken-O Expressway, and Chuo Expressway were all congested from early in the morning, but we didn't have much trouble passing through.
I stopped by here first.
This was my first visit to the sunflower fields in Akeno, Hokuto City in 7 to 8 years, but my first time on a motorcycle. I rode around a bit to see if I could find a spot where I could take pictures with my bike......
There are so many people and cars everywhere that this is the limit.
If you come early in the morning, it might be different....... What? Didn't you know that sunflowers raise their heads in the early morning as well? (Uneducated)
Well, this is just a side note. The discounted section is only until Nirasaki, so I just remembered it.
To Venus Line
In succession"You've come this far, you've got to run."We headed for the Venus Line. This is also a standard route via the Yatsugatake Echo Line.
We drove to Kurumayama Kogen while avoiding the direction of Lake Shirakaba, which we thought would be crowded. Enjoyed the Venus Line.
There were more clouds, so the view was a little less spectacular, but in the morning there were fewer cars and it was a pleasant winding road.
From the Venus Line, we headed towards Takayama, Gifu, where our lodging for the day was located, but it was almost lunchtime. I've heard that the best part of traveling is encountering local delicacies, so this is what I had for lunch.
All the good stores were crowded........
Aragami no Yu
It is a cool and fast road if you pass through Matsumoto city and go up in altitude towards Kamikochi and Norikura. The Awa Toge Road is ETC compatible, and you can drive almost non-stop.
This one arrives at Aragami no Yu, which I had checked out ......
There is a beautiful river flowing next to the parking lot, so we sit and rest by the river for a while....... I can't find a bath, can you?
I did a Google search."60m to Aragami no Yu"So I walked out of the parking lot for a minute and found ...... There it was.
Akaihama open-air bath in Nishi-IzuThis is an open-air bath managed by local volunteers, although it does not have the same sense of seclusion as Akaihama. Unlike Akaihama, it is not a mixed bathing area, so you can enter with peace of mind.
Bathing fee is 200 yen.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see the river from the bathtub, but the bath was well cleaned and cozy.
After getting out of the bath, I went to the Shin Hotaka area.
I'd like to take a ride on a ropeway..... I'd like to take a ropeway ride, but I can't do that, which is the only thing wrong with solo tourism.
After enjoying the scenery, we headed back to the inn.
Gifu Quest
We checked in as the sun went down.
As I was driving to the hotel, I thought, "I want to eat Hida beef at night," but I didn't do enough research beforehand, and there are not many restaurants I can go to by myself, except for the ones for tourists...... So I couldn't find a good restaurant by googling on my phone.
This time, the hotel is along the bypass and about 2km away from downtown, so we need a parking lot ........ The hotel is on the bypass and about 2km from downtown, so we need parking. The reviews are so-so. There's no parking available, and there's a big chance that the parking lots in the city center are not open, so I went for a walk.
Unfortunately, it was the wrong store.....orz
Feeling incomplete, I went back to the hotel, took a shower, and went to bed........
Today's mileage was about 450km, which is a bit short, including side trips.
