Road Trip to the Yagen Valley, Again / 薬研渓谷の旅、アゲイン

It seems my wife promised to take her sister out for lunch at the Sky Restaurant in Mutsu so once again we headed up along the Shimokita Peninsula!

僕の妻がいつか自分の妹にむつにあるむつグランドホテルのランチに連れてあげると約束したみたいで、また先週車で下北半島の旅に出た!

But first, we had to stop at the Roadside Station in Yokohama Town to pick up some fried scallops.

途中で横浜町の道の駅に寄ってホタテ揚げを購入。


Back at the Sky Restaurant again. This would be me and my wife's third visit.

またスカイ・レストランに来ちゃいました。僕と妻にとって、三度目です。




As we were one of the first customers for lunch today, we were seated at a window table.

今日は開店時間前に来たため、窓側のテーブルで座りました。


I managed to get a picture of the Tanabu River and Mount Kamafuse in the same shot.

田名部川と釜臥山を一つの写真に撮れた。




Lunch started off with a salad.

最初に出されたのはサラダ。


And bread.

パンも。


Unlike the soup we had two weeks ago which was chilled, on today's menu was hot pumpkin soup.

二週間前と違って、本日のスープは温かいカボチャスープでした。


We all ordered the same main dish today - beef tariata with Caesar salad.

私たちは同じものを注文した。本日の肉料理は牛タリアータとシーザーサラダ。


Dessert is also included.

デザートも付いてますよ。


Today's dessert was chestnut flavored ice cream topped with strawberry sauce, banana bread and some fruit.

本日のデザートは栗のアイス、ストロベリーソース、バナナブレッドとフルツ。


A short after lunch break before heading to the Yagen Valley.

薬研渓谷行く前にちょっとした休み。










Still a bit of autumn colors left.

紅葉はまだちょっとあった。

And here we are at the Kappa no Yu hot spring again.

そしてまた奥薬研にある温泉、かっぱの湯。


Greeting the Kappa before soaking in the bath.

お風呂に入るまえにかっぱにご挨拶。


Today, I had the outdoor bath all to myself.

本日、ここの露天風呂が貸切状態。




Most of the autumn colors have disappeared in the last two weeks.

この二週間の間に紅葉がほぼなくなってる。






There is the kappa couple on the wall.

かっぱの夫婦が壁の上に座ってる。








Sexy service shot.

セクシーサービスの一枚。






As my wife and her sister were still soaking in the outdoor bath, I decided to soak my feet in the foot bath.

妻と妻の妹はまだ入浴中の為、時分は足湯のほうに行きました。








My standard picture I take whenever enjoying a foot bath.

足湯で必ず撮る写真。








Remaining autumn colors.

残ってる紅葉。

We stopped at the tofu shop in Yokohama Town on our way back home.

帰り道に横浜町にある豆腐屋さんに寄りました。


My wife and her sister were enjoying miso oden. I'm not a big fan of the dish.

妻と妻の妹は味噌おでんを食べてた。時分はあんまり好きじゃにので、パス。


I was here for the tofu donuts, also called unohana donuts.

僕は卯の花ドーナッツの為にここが好き。おからのドーナッツですよ。


As the sun was going down, so ended our adventure.

日が暮れて、私たちの日帰り冒険が終了しました。
