一番短い国道制覇★

ついにやりました！R174散歩。
お仕事が始まる前に、早起きして頑張りました。しかも、汗だくになりながらw

さて、まずはフラワーロードを南下し、神戸港を目指します。

神戸港までの途中で小さな案内表示を見つけたのですが、ここにもきちんと存在が示されてました。

やっと大きな標識はっけーーーーん！ﾜｸﾜｸ・・・

神戸税関が見えたってことは、R2とフラワーロードの交差点ってことで、ちょっとR2側にある標識を激写！R174がーーーー。

Tada----!あたしがどうしても撮りたかったお写真げっと☆

おにぎりもふたつありました。そのうちのひとつ。もうひとつは、明らかに変な向きになってましたw

神戸港を背に激写。

その逆から 

起点側の後ろはこんな感じ。

次は、R130のお写真を撮りに行きたいです♪



Long time no see! :(

Loooong time!  I'm so sorry.  While I've left this blog, I enjoyed my life!  At first, I went to Kobe in July.  It was half biz trip.  But I had free time in the early morning, I walked around Sannomiya which is known as one of sightseeing spots in Kobe.  This town is similar to Yokohama.  There are many western-style buildings everywhere!

The Kobe Customs office

A restaurant where I had lunch.  The Hayashi rice is nice!

Mixture of old & new construction.  COOL!

A store 

Cute telephone box, huh? 

This is the hotel where I stayed.  The inside looked like the ship!   

Elevator of this hotel

Flower clock 

I wanna go to china town called Nankin-machi in Kobe next time!

Kagurazaka

It was nice weather yesterday.  I went to Kagurazaka.  There are many alley there.  And then they have their own name. ;)  I heard there are many cats, but I wasn't able to see them this time! :(  But this town reminds me of the feeling of nostalgia.

Kagura-Kouji(神楽小路)

Kakurenbo-Yokocho (かくれんぼ横丁)

  

Hyogo-Yokocho (兵庫横丁)

Japanese restaurant (料亭) created good atmosphere

And then, I ate a big steamed meat bun at the chinese store, no photo though. x(  It was good!
If you visit this town, you may feel Kyoto-ish atomosphere. :D

Kyu Furukawa Gardens

I went to "Kyu Furukawa Gardens" last Sunday.  It was good for going out, because it was sunny & warm though a little windy day.  There are many people at there.

This garden has many kind of roses.

Caprice de Meilland （キャプリス　ドゥ　メイアン）

Momoka （桃香）

Pink Peace （ピンクピース）

Rio Samba （リオ　サンバ）

Seika （聖火）

Tower of roses

All roses are so beautiful, ain't they?

We can enjoy flowers for all four seasons here.

We'll be able to see Japanese iris next month. :)

There's no better feeling than being wrapped up in the scent of many roses. <3

I'll visit there in autumn next time!

Old tunnels make me EXCITED!

Hello! It was Golden Week from 29th April to 5th May in Japan. So I went back to my hometown during that. I visited old tunnel to take photos.

Let's start from here.

After you looked at this photo, don't you want to explore?

Having a chain across the pass makes me excited!

I continued to walk to the destination.

Phew, I felt a little fear, because I was scared of heights!

If I fell down, I would go to heaven. x(

I continued to walk for 35 minutes...

Ta-da!

I got my goal! :D Sooo amazing! Don't you think so?

This is inside the old tunnel.

Of course, this isn't used any more.

But this used to be used for carrying trees.

For your information, this was built in the Meiji era.

When I saw this at the first time, I thought it was well worth continuing to walk on rough road in 35 minutes.

Another old tunnel. This tunnel is dug with bare hands!

And then, when I was walking, I found a funny plant.

Do you know what is the name of cutie?

As I had feared, I felt a muscle pain!!

But I feel like a million bucks now. Yay!

横浜ぶらり散歩（その2）

今回の横浜散歩の目的は、たしかにお写真を撮ることだったんだけど、実は、隠れたもうひとつの目的があったんだよね！それは・・・、

日本で何番目かに短い(←かなりﾃｷﾄｰ)国道133号線をトレースする！

実は、1年くらい前から道路にというか、元々は標識に興味を持ち始め、あれよあれよという間に道路にも興味が出てきました☆
今回は、初めてのフィールドワーク！ということで、初っ端からヘマを。
ナント、日本大通り駅で降りなくちゃいけないのに、手前の馬車道駅で下車してしまい、地上に出たら、R133のど真ん中(泣)。
というわけ、起点の開港広場前交差点まで歩いて行ったんだけど、これまた少々迷う。
ようやく辿り着いたはいいものの、今度は、起点の標識が見当たらず、ここでも15分くらいうろちょろする。なぜかこの交差点には、おまわりさんが数人立っていて、ぜーったい要注意人物にされてたんだろうな。やっと見つけた起点標識！なんて、さりげないんでしょう・・・。

さぁ、R133のはじまりはじまり～♪
別名キングの塔、神奈川県庁の横を通り、道は続きます。

ちゃんとおにぎりもさりげなくあります(笑)。

左折の標識を見つけるのですが、どこで左折するのかまたまた迷い、時間ロス。

2回道を間違え(笑)、ようやく正しい左折ができました！
名前を忘れた橋を渡ると・・・、こんな標識出現！

小さくて見えづらいけれど、16号線にぶつかるということは・・・、ハイ、終点です★
ぱんぱかぱ～ん♪

ちょうど車もきてなかったから、車道突っ切ってアップを激写！

ホントは、すごく短いはずなのに、道を間違え、1.5倍は歩いたと思う(^o^;)
また、足元やらシールをチェックし忘れていたので、実はこの後3往復したバカです(笑)。
その成果は、ガードレールがYOKOHAMA仕様になってたことくらい。

まだまだ、ぺーぺーです。
でも、周りの目はおいといて、自分的には楽しかったぁ☆


おまけに、旧横浜港駅を。

廃線、廃道、旧道、隧道・・・、なぜか「廃」なものに魅力を感じてしまう今日この頃。
GWには、実家近くの隧道へ行く予定！楽しみ～★

☆Yokohama trip☆

Long time no see!  Howdy?  I went to Yokohama yesterday. :)  Yokohama is one of my favorite places, because there are many mix of architectual styles there!  I took many pictures & walked a lot with feeling comfortable sea wind.

Kanagawa prefectual government office known as King tower.

Yokohama Customes known as Queen tower.

Yokohama Kaiko Memorial Museam known as Jack tower.

These are known as three towers in Yokohama.
I like Jack  the best. :)
Which do you like?

The bank is also beautiful building there.

There are sidewalk painters.

All painters had good talent!

And there are also modern building in Yokohama.

At last, this has been there since Edo period.
It is called the Elephant nose, because as you know, it looks like elephant nose.
LOL

LOVE YOKOHAMA
