他より少し大きめの船で安定感があり、船底から海中も見れるという点が気に入り、こちらのツアーを選びました。他社の船は比較的小さめで屋根もなく、結構揺れていた様子だったので、大型船だからこそのメリットはあったと思います。クジラがなかなか現れなくて、他社が諦めて帰りかけていたのですが、私達の船は粘って待って下さって、クジラが跳ねるシーンを2回撮影できました。クジラが、まるでサービスしてくれているかのようでした。帰る頃には雷雨で海も荒れてきましたが、スピードアップしていたものの、船内では濡れることもなく、揺れも割と少なかったので船酔いせず、予定通りに戻れました。(船酔いどめの薬は飲んでおく方が良いです)。船内はエアコンがきいていてとても快適でした。乗組員の方々が親切で、家族で安心して参加できました。とても良い思い出になりましたので、こちらのツアー、とてもおすすめです! ツアーは5点満点でしたが、参加希望日に参加できず、レンタカーやホテル変更が必要となったりしたので、5点満点をつけたいところですが、0.5マイナスで、4.5点とさせていただきます。

If it's clear, we'll head to a scenic spot where you can see all the way to Cape Shiretoko, the tip of the Shiretoko Peninsula. The walk is not a promenade, but an exciting course that follows an animal trail. Along the way, there is a place where you can see a waterfall cascading from a cliff over 100m high, allowing you to enjoy the dynamic scenery of Shiretoko. The forest, home to wild animals such as brown bears, Ezo deer, and black woodpeckers, and the spectacular view overlooking the Sea of Okhotsk, where drift ice comes in winter, are recommended for those who want to experience the World Heritage Site of Shiretoko. It's a forest walk that will make you feel the great nature of Shiretoko and make you want to take a deep breath.

"Circular agriculture", a traditional agricultural system that has been practiced in Minami Awaji City for over 100 years and is certified as a Japanese agricultural heritage, is an advanced production circulation system unique to Awaji Island that combines rice, onions, and cattle breeding. This is an SDGs experience tour where you can visit spots that are full of the characteristics of this region, such as onion huts, long-house gates, and reservoirs, and experience the secret of the deliciousness of onions through an actual onion harvesting experience. "Circular agriculture", a traditional agricultural system that has been practiced in Minami Awaji City for over 100 years, is a production circulation system unique to Awaji Island that combines rice, onions, and cattle breeding, and was certified as a Japanese agricultural heritage in 2020. In order to make effective use of limited farmland, rice and onions are grown alternately in the same place as "double cropping", but if this is repeated, the soil will eventually lose nutrients. That's where cow manure becomes a miracle cure. The rice straw produced by rice cultivation becomes cow feed and creates nutritious cow manure. This mutual support with the livestock industry keeps the farmland fertile and produces delicious, sweet onions. On this tour, you can actually harvest the delicious onions grown under this system while interacting with local residents. Afterwards, you will have the chance to try tasting sliced onions with onion dressing to really experience the sweetness of the onions you harvested! In addition, an official guide from Minami Awaji City will take you to spots packed with the characteristics of the region, such as the "nagayamon" house structure used by livestock farmers that supports this "recycling agriculture," the "onion hut" that was designed as a drying facility suited to the climate of Awaji Island, and the "irrigation ponds" that are the most densely populated in Japan as a solution to the water shortage that has long been a problem on the island. Make the most of what you can use, and continue to produce good things without waste. Experience the prototype of the SDGs that has been around for over 100 years.

About Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu. This martial art is a palace-style self-defense technique that was originally conveyed only to the senior samurai of the Aizu clan. Until the Meiji era, martial arts was a secret to the public, but it became known to the public by Takeda Sokaku, a native of Aizu. Moving zazen "I can't be slashed. I can't be beaten. I can't be kicked. I can't be kicked." Mr. Komichi Horikawa, a high school brother of Takeda Sokaku, positions martial arts in this way. The goal is not to defeat the opponent, as in the case of match-style martial arts and martial arts, but to enhance one's spirituality. This is the ideal, peaceful philosophy of martial arts. Specializing in zazen teaching, I realized that the ignorance of this martial art was very close to the point of Zen enlightenment. The technique of Daito-ryu Aiki Jiu-Jitsu can be rephrased as "moving zazen". Active martial arts for a lifetime The appeal of this martial art is that it can be learned by anyone, regardless of Ageo/Okegawa or Sex. At present, there are children from kindergarten below and those who have passed Koki above. Mid-Year hard and body in, yet is powerless even I, was able to so much without difficulty learning. One of the few martial arts that can last a lifetime. Please try it by all means

「本当に、この道であっているのかな?」そう、今回は集合場所に到着時する前からドキドキが始まっていました。看板はあるものの、奥まった所へと車を進める事になるので到着するまで不安が募りました(集合場所を見つけた時はほっとしました)。 体験はまず、案内をしてくださるガイドの船津さんと、当主の荒谷さんの紹介から始まり、安全のための注意事項の説明、それからヘルメットの装着をしました。 準備が整うと、重ねられた石の間を通り、工具等がある小屋の間を通って採石場の入り口へ。入り口を見たときは思わず吐いた息と共に「うわぁー」と声が漏れました。 大きく開いた入り口、壁は白っぽくて幾何学的な模様が刻まれていました。私には不思議でとても美しく魅力的に見えました。 採石場の中へ入り、独特な雰囲気を感じ、まるで異世界に来たような感覚がしました(どう感じたかは上手く言葉で表現できませんので割愛で)。 実際に石を切り出す所を見せていただき、石を切る時の音の変化を感じる事もできました。 また、石の状態を探りながら採石していく技術は長年受け継がれ、歴史と凄みを感じました。 お話していただいたことや実際に体験したことは全て興味深いもので、私は参加して良かったです。 今回、参加した時期が良く、外気と採石場の気温の差を感じる事が出来なかったので、また別の季節に参加したいと思いますいます。
