I was on a business trip
in Tokyo last week.
When it comes to mothly things.
I'm getting sick of it.
I came back after saving up all the stress.
It was a three-day weekend,
so I usually go to the gym
on Saturdays and Sundays,
but on Monday I went on a bus tour.
I chose a day tour from a plca
I had never been to,
so I didn't know the place well.
The bus took me all the way to Saga Prefecture,
to a town facing the Ariake Sea.
At the mini-aquarium at the road station,
I saw Mutsugoro Mudskipper,
a specialityof the Ariake Sea.
The mudskipper has protruding eyes
and is cute like a frog.
It was a strange sight to see so many loose
tabi socks that were used to enter
the wetlands hanging out to dry.
Looking into the souvenir shop,
there was a long,
thin black lump about 20 cm long.
It was a dried mudskipper.
I couldn't believe how delicious it was
and didn't have the courage to buy it.
The Tara district of Saga Prefecture
is famous for its crab dishes,
which is caleed Takezaki crab.
I don't really like crabs.
This is because it is trouble to crack and pick the shell.
Tara's crab was blue crub.
The crabs of the day were flimsy,
small and thin.
I usually don't eat crabs,
so I thought it would be like this,
but the person sitting next to me
on the bus was angry.
It seems that it is not originally such a thin and small crab.
After that I went to the Yutoku Inari Shrine,
the underwater torii gate of the Oto Shrine,
and the sake brewery in Saga.
AtYutoku Inari Shirine,
about 2000 wind chimes were displayed
along the approach in the shrine,
and in the mudsummer-like heat,
they sounded cool
and comfortable.
It got rid of my stress.
