One Sunday, we went on a drive to Mutsu. On the way, we stopped by a convenience store for a short break. Near this convenient store, you will find the Scallop Kannon.
ある日曜日、むつ市まで行くことになり、途中でコンビニに寄って、そのコンビニの近くに「ホタテ観音」がある。
As you can see, the Kannon is standing on a scallop shell.
足下を見れば、この観音は貝殻の上に立ってる。
The sign says the "Scallop Kannon (Goddess)" was erected in July of Hesei 4 (1992). It was built with the hope that Mutsu Bay will always be beautiful, that the fishing industry and those who work in it will be safe and prosperous, for traffic safety and health, and so on.
I'm not a hardcore fan of taking pictures of train, although I do enjoy doing so if I think the train is kind of cool. I also like taking pictures of the various stations on local lines. Around March of last year, my wife and I and my mother-in-law went to Mutsu. On our way, I had my wife stop at a very small station along the Ominato Line.
自分は撮り鉄ほどの鉄道ファンではないが、電車がカッコイイと想ったらつい写真を撮るよ。あと自分が好きなのは駅。ま、正式と言えば駅舎。特にローカル線の無人駅。なんか味があると感じる。その一つは大湊線にある赤川駅。
This station looks more like a shack or a shed than a station.
この駅舎は駅と言うより小屋みたなもんだな。
It looks very homemade.
手作り感満載。

The train schedule.
電車の時刻表。
The day we went to Mutsu, we actually saw a train stopped at Akagawa station.
あの日、赤川駅で実際に止まってた大湊線を見た。
If you look really closely, you can see the train behind the trees. It is most likely headed towards Misawa station.
ちゃんと見たら気の間に電車の姿が見える。多分この電車は三沢行きだと想う。
