Travel Diary on August 13, 2022

I got up early in the morning to take pictures of Tokyo Metro 17000 series train and Toei 6500 series train.
I boarded Yokosuka Line Train and got off at Musashi Kosugi, and then changed trains to Tokyu Meguro Line. I took some pictures at Tamagawa.

I left the hotel

I went back to Shimbashi via Ohokayama and Oimachi. We ate at all-you-can-eat style restaurant in the hotel.

We boarded train for Tsuchiura, and got off at Toride, where Kanto Railway is available. We bought free pass on Kanto Railway since I expected that we will go back to the hotel by Kanto Railway.

We boarded rapid train for Shimodate. The train stopped at every station until Moriya, but skipped many stations after Moriya.

At Shimotsuma.Sta


We passed through Kurogo.Sta


After passing

When we arrived at Shimodate.Sta, we headed for Shimodate Art Museum only to find that it's closed, due to disorder of air conditioners.
But, it's possible to see only the exhibition on the ground floor. There was a flyer urging people to wear mask, to put off fire, to lock before leaving home. It's uncomfortable for us to see such mask requirement even now.

We boarded this train all the way from Toride

This flyer in the museum says "Be ware of wearing mask, locking door, and distinguishing fire, when you leave home."

We walked to the ground floor of Chikusei City Office, where convenience store is annexed.
My daughter ate steamed bun there.

On our way to the city office, we found this facility which used to be fish market.

We boarded Mooka Railway Train for Mooka to see steam locomotive.
