Okayama 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Tamano Tennoike Bamboo Forest I've lived in Okayama for over 20 years, but I didn't know about this bamboo forest. It's a location that's just like Arashiyama in Kyoto. The bamboo leaves swaying in the wind make a sound. I took a leisurely stroll through the bamboo forest. The owner here is elderly, and it has become difficult to work on the bamboo forest, so the "Tamano City Tennoike Bamboo Forest Association" is maintaining it. The promenade is about 70m long. They don't throw away the bamboo that they cut down, but use it for the fences on the promenade, so they are also working to avoid wasting resources. After passing through the bamboo forest, Tennoike Pond spreads out before me. The parking lot is hard to find, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, so be careful. There's a unique display at the entrance? There are also a lot of them, so they are also interesting 😂👍 lol 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 ⁡ 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website Nagao Tenno Ikeshita, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #okayama #okayamatrip #okayamasightseeing

A park installed on the breakwater of Uno Port. Artworks lined up in the spacious area. Objects of black porgy made from garbage and driftwood collected along the coast of Uno Port and Lake Kojima. The waste that drifted in the Seto Inland Sea has taken on a new form and is displayed as art pieces at Uno Port. Next to the black porgy, 'Kochinu' is a slide that goes from the head to the tail. It was very colorful, and I was surprised to find things like umbrellas stuck in it when I got closer. From here, I boarded a ship and headed to Naoshima and Takamatsu.

Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, is a town full of art, including the JR Uno Minato Line Art Project and works created and exhibited during the Setouchi Triennale. As part of this art project, there are several stations with design ideas. This time, we will introduce one of these stations! The station we will introduce this time is Uno Station, the last stop on the JR Uno Minato Line. Uno Station is the nearest station to Uno Port, the gateway to Setouchi, where the Setouchi Triennale is held. The design of Uno Station is a white canvas with black lines. It is simple, but also has a flashy feel. Around Uno Port, works from past art festivals are on display, and if you are traveling to Setouchi by boat, you can stroll around the city and enjoy the art! There are three other artistic stations on the JR Uno Minato Line, so you should visit them as well. If you are sightseeing in Setouchi, be sure to start from this station! ~ ...

Glamping at KUJIRA-JIMA, a private uninhabited island in the Seto Inland Sea. We had a great time enjoying BBQ, bonfires, and even a tent sauna. Please note that BBQ and bonfires create a stronger smoke smell than you might expect. In addition to glamping, the island itself offers accommodation in a style that suits your taste, such as cottages and tent camping. Why not enjoy a private beach with no one around? [KUJIRA-JIMA] Address: 1-11-1 Uno, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture Meeting place: 1-1-11 Chikko, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture Access: Take a boat from the meeting place to a nearby port in about 30 minutes, then take a shuttle boat to KUJIRA-JIMA #Domestic travel #Okayama #Okayama trip #Okayama sightseeing #Glamping #Kujira Island

The morning view at Restaurant FORQ is different from the night view. Before breakfast The meal coupon has an unusual design. The breakfast buffet is a menu exclusive to guests staying at the hotel. The main dish is Setouchi Lemon French Toast The side dishes are served as a buffet. Before entering the restaurant, we passed the bankside of the bicycle racing track. The view that was not visible at night spreads before us. The blinds were closed because the sun was shining inside the restaurant, but it had a refreshing atmosphere, or maybe it was just my imagination. What I felt this time was that I was in a place far from the image of a bicycle racing track that I had in mind. Check out the popular KEIRIN HOTEL10 As well as the hotel, you should also check out Restaurant FORQ! Breakfast on October 16th. #AutumnTrip #Buffet #GourmetTrip #Gourmet #BreakfastBuffet #PhotogenicHotel #Breakfast #Okayama #Setouchi #SetouchiSightseeing #AccommodationReport

FORQ is a restaurant adjacent to KEIRIN HOTEL10, with the velodrome bank right in front of you. The bank was not lit because it was not a velodrome day, so it is difficult to see in the photo. I ordered the FORQ SET for dinner. The main dishes were keema curry and fish and chips. You can see many dishes made with local ingredients from the Setouchi region. You can also order a la carte. The menu is rich, from hearty dishes to desserts, alcohol, and coffee. There was also an all-you-can-drink option for 1500 yen per hour. You can use a travel support coupon! It's a little different from what you might imagine a velodrome to be. So that's the atmosphere! #AutumnTrip #Accommodation #GourmetTrip #Gourmet #Hotel #Okayama #PhotogenicHotel #OkayamaHotel #SetoInlandSeaTourism #SetoInlandSea

This hotel has an interesting concept. The hotel "KEIRIN HOTEL 10" is integrated with Tamano Keirin Track and the stadium. During the Keirin race, Keirin racers also stay at this hotel. I have never been to a Keirin race. This time, I will show you around the front desk and the shared spaces. Because it is a Keirin track, there are many bicycle-related goods and interior decorations that use bicycles. The lockers and signboards of the racers that were actually used at the track are also displayed, and in a way, there are new goods for those who are not familiar with the track. There are bicycle rentals, so it is a good environment for exploring the surrounding area. There is also a large public bath in the hotel! There is also a space where you can learn about Keirin in an easy-to-understand way even for those who are not familiar with Keirin. There is also a vertical jump challenge for Keirin racers. The physical strength and athletic ability of professionals are really amazing! I stayed there on October 15th. #Accommodation #Okayama #OkayamaTrip #OkayamaHotel #Tamano #Hotel #PhotogenicHotel #AutumnTrip
