第88回箱根駅伝-現場レポート (Hakone Ekiden)

本來只是打算到東京跨年，到了當地才發現箱根駅伝就在年初，就連著兩天利用今年新發售的關東Area Pass去湊熱鬧...沿路加油的觀眾不分男女老幼 (真羨慕...熱鬧程度可比台灣的廟會)

我的行程：

(Jan 2)往路第５區：新宿-(Super View踊子)-小田原駅-(步行)-小田原城-(步行)-小田原中繼所

(Jan 3)復路第９區：上野-(京浜東北線普通車)-鶴見駅-(步行)-鶴見中繼所

柏原龍二　(沒對到焦...)

Day 2

隔壁的阿桑拿著手寫的選手名單，選手經過時就喊著名字幫他們加油

鐵道少年

行駛於釧網本線的One Man列車(車長一人同時負責駕駛和收錢),不知在某站上來了一位帶著單眼相機的Camera小僧

"是來拍火車的嗎?" 旁邊的大叔問著
"嗯"
"啊,我們以前可沒有這種相機啊, 來幫叔叔照一張吧"

少年有點冏的用自己的相機和大叔的傻瓜相機各照了一張
接著在某站和大叔告別後下車了

*2008/7/11 Hanshin vs. Hiroshima @ Koshien Stadium 甲子園球場觀戰記

中午在關西機場降落後立刻趕去大阪車站附近的地下街尋找金券店,雖然花了不少時間,還是幸運的買到今晚的阪神廣島外野門票,原價1700Yen,我忘了賣多少錢,總之不會差太多,之後就坐阪神電鐵來到甲子園球場...事隔快兩年,我也忘了投手是誰以及結果如何,只能分享照片

*山形藏王賞樹冰 Rime on trees, at Zao, Yamagata

Feb 2008

After a 40-minute bus ride from Yamagata train station, I arrived at the bus terminal of Zao Onsen (Zao hot spring). From here you can take the ropeway up into the mountains. The lift took me to the highest point (1661m), but it was too cold to enjoy the scenery. Even the Buddha statue was 75% buried in the snow. All I could do was to take a photo and then hide into the warm space inside the station. Since it's so cold up here, I decided to take the lift down to the previous stop (Juhyo Kogen) and it's somewhat warm enough to walk around. Unlike me, most people come here to ski, even small kids came skiing here in groups. Though it's the coldest place I've ever been to, I enjoyed the experience.

How to get there:

Take the bus from Yamagata station to Zao onsen
