Still remember in Hayao Miyazaki's animation "The Hidden Girl" The scene where Chihiro floats on the sea in a cute large bathtub? It turns out it’s real~ Bon boats on Sado Island have a long history It can be traced back to the Edo period Islanders who depend on fishing for their livelihood The basin boat was invented based on the washing tub. Used by haenyeo to fish for seaweed, conch, and abalone in the nearby waters Nowadays, it is mostly used for sightseeing~ There are three places on Sado Island where you can take a bon boat ride They are Ogi Port, Yajima, and Shukunegi. We went to Yajima Experience Exchange Center You can take the same picture from Spirited Away ~ Bon boat ride is a very special experience Floating on the sea is more stable than imagined There is a square shape in the middle of the boat transparent glass floor You can see the fish and seaweed swimming below The ride takes less than 10 minutes but is worth the price of admission~ #globaltravel

Its fun and fun! This is the only experience of the tub boat, even for the lovely folks! Sado Island is so beautiful, I really want to live for a few days, with such resentment galloping on the lush, blue-and-blue sky and staggered roads, I havent seen enough to arrive, even though the station has a tubing experience, but the background Too ugly, no sea and red arch bridge, biting teeth in the heat of the summer we climbed for 20 minutes to reach the famous tub boat experience. It is said that when I was sitting for the first time, I was so scared. I didnt dare to move when I was standing. I found that I forgot to take a photo after I sat down. I bought a single ticket, a boat ride, and a run on the bridge. This thought was carefully seen by the warm-hearted grandfather. He just slipped to the bridge and picked me up. I wanted to go back by boat, but we only paid one persons money. The grandfather still had to disembark. We took pictures, and finally we exchanged a bit. On the way back, I took a boat and he went on the shore to continue taking pictures. When he left, he was stopped by him. He spoke Chinese with us: He Rijun came again? It turned out to be a friend of Teresa Teng, a lovely grandfather, a cute tub boat, and this extreme operation is really worth it, but unfortunately I forgot to go to the shore to shoot a picture of the boat in the background of the Red Bridge. . . Emmmm can only go again next time~
