It was a day when the weather was very good for cycling.
We went to "Tsunoshima island" taking a ride on a bicycle yesterday.

First of all, we had to go over Kammon strait going on a ferry. 



 Though it was a voyage of only 13 minutes,  It was very pleasant time.



 We ran while sometimes alternating order.



 We finally arrived forward about The Tsunoshima Bridge over the The Tsunoshima island.




We finished cycling in the way of 150km by the round trip.

"Setouchi" The inland sea of japan ;memories of 2010(4. Apr)

Setouchi sea is an inland sea in Japan that lies between the Mainland and Shikoku island. The coastal area of the Inland Sea is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Japan. After World War II, a lot of coasts reclaimed, became the industrial regions, and turned into the industrial complex at the high economic growth period said, "Japanese Miracle". 
A lot of Japanese might have forgotten for still a lot of beautiful places to have been left. I began to start the motorcycle to look for the scenery.

Yanai City is one of the towns where the scenery of an old Japanese town was left.




The old brewery of soy sauce was open to the public for sightseeing.





I went over to the island connected with the mainland in the truss bridge on a brilliant day when it overflowed in sunlight.
It was a season when the sea was beautiful, and the season when cherry blossoms were beautiful.





It was possible to look about the entire island from the place in the center part on the island where the altitude was the highest. And, there was a launch tower of paraglider there.






Afterwards, it rounded along the sea of outer on the island.
