Hm, I thought I would write more posts on my own blog today. Going back to Golden Week in 2018, my wife and I went for a drive around Hirosaki City.
時間があるから、本日は個人ブログでいろんなネタを書き込むと思った。今回は２０１８年ゴールデンウィークの最中に弘前市のドライブに出掛けた。
On our way to Hirosaki. This is a view of Mount Iwaki.
弘前行きで岩木山が見えた。
I can't remember where we had lunch but the tendon and zaru soba would have been my wife's choice.
どこでランチを食べたか忘れましたが、天丼のざるそばなら絶対妻が注文した料理。
I'm pretty sure I would have ordered the pork cutlet set than soba and tendon.
自分が天丼とそばより、絶対とんかつセットを注文するな。
At the start, we didn't really have a destination in mind. We were just driving around Hirosaki.
最初は目的もなく、ただ弘前市周辺を回るだけ。
But then we spotted a sign for the Omori Katsuyama Stone Cirle Ruins and decided to check it out. This was before the place was designated as one of the Jomon World Heritage Sites.
ドライブしながら、大森勝山遺跡の表示を発見、行って見ることにした。縄文文化の世界遺産に登録されてない時期だった。
I didn't think about running into wild animals at the time but this area is a very likely area for bear sightings!
当時は考えてなかったけど、この場所は熊エリアエリアに間違いない。
Of course there wasn't as many reported bear sightings in 2018.
ま、２０１８年に熊の目撃情報はあんまり聞いてなかった。
There are probably signs in English now as well.
今なら英語の説明も書いてあるかも。
To be honest, this area wasn't that exciting. The Komakino site is more interesting.
正直、この場所の魅力はあんまり感じなかった。小牧野遺跡の方がもっと面白いと思う。
After we left the Omori Katsuyama Stone Circle ruins, we went to shrine that was located nearby. It was called the Oishi Shrine.
大森勝山遺跡を去ったあと、近くにあった神社、大石神社の周りを探索した。
Oishi Shrine
Oh, I think that's the main shrine.
おっ、それが本殿と思う。
There are many small shrines around the main shrine.
本殿の周りに小さな神社がいっぱい並んでる。
There's a statue of a horse enshrined in there.
中に馬の像がある。
Hm, this coin box looks very phallic.
あ～、この銭箱は男性のアレみたいですね。
I believe that's a view of Goshogawara City.
おう、五所川原市が見える。あの白いドームで分かる。
Mount Iwaki / 岩木山
We spotted some wild monkeys on our drive.
ドライブ中で野生の猿を発見。
There were a few cherry blossoms that were still in bloom.
まだ咲いた桜の木がありました。

We made our way to the Dake Hot Spring area.
嶽温泉にたどり着いた。
Dake Hot Spring
Refreshment time with a strawberry shake.
ちょっとしたリフレッシュする飲み物。苺シェーク。
Oh no! I've become a bear!!
おう、熊に変身した！！
So ended another day of adventure.
ここで本日の冒険が終了しました。
