【松田開成散歩】古き良き日本を感じられる開成町 松田駅～開成町田園風景
good morning. Today I would like to go to see the rural scenery of Kaisei Town from Matsuda Station. Mt. Fuji is reflected in the background on the left, and it is quite clearly visible with the naked eye. And I can clearly see the police officer checking the stoppage. Let’s all stop properly. Thank you for your hard work. The retro feel in front of this station is also wonderful. I’m also a resident of Kanagawa Prefecture, so although it’s relatively close to my home, I don’t know anything about this area. I used to drive by and thought, “This area is nice,” so I came here. So, I just looked at the map before coming, so I decided to head in the direction I wanted to go, and go in the direction that seemed like a good place to walk. The station and tracks are also nice. Ah! By the way, I’m currently walking around Matsuda Town. Matsuda Station looks like Matsuda Town from Kaisei Town. It’s quite a main road, but there aren’t many cars so it’s easy to walk. The buildings around here also have a nice feel. It’s a kind of calming townscape. There’s a nice stone monument there. It seems that there is a shrine called “Samuta Shrine” ahead of here. Let’s go over here for a moment. Just the pool gave me a summer vacation vibe. (Too simple) This looks like “Samuta Shrine”. The balance between this greenery and the shrine is nice. It feels like a shrine in town, and I really like it. It feels like summer vacation here too. (I want summer vacation too much) By the way, the shooting date was in May. I’m walking comfortably, feeling the warmth of spring rather than the heat of summer. I could see something like an overpass. I want to climb this and cross the river. It’s a bridge with a nice view. You can see Mt. Fuji and the surrounding mountains as well. It looks like it would be nice to walk along this riverside path. I want to cross the bridge over there on my way home. It’s hard to see behind it, but it looks like a train bridge. By the way, this bridge is called “New Jumonji Bridge”. The bridge you saw on your left earlier was called “Jumonji Bridge” and it was named “New Jumonji Bridge” because it was newly built. It is a Gelber type continuous steel girder bridge. (I don’t understand the meaning at all) It’s a big bridge with a total length of 367 meters. When we got to the center of the bridge, the river became clear and the scenery became even better. Since it is on a bridge, the wind noise may be noisy. If you feel this, please lower the volume. If it is bothersome to your ears, please lower the volume. If you look at it like this, the river is quite wide. By the way, this river is called the Sakawa River and flows from Gotemba to Sagami Bay. It may be a little difficult to understand unless you live nearby, but it is a fairly large and long river. (The explanation is rough) After all, the 367m bridge is quite long. When I looked back, there was a beautiful view behind me. You can see the signboard. Enter Kaisei Town from here. Sorry to bother you. This right hand side seems to be the “Kanagawa Prefecture Ashigarakami Joint Government Building”. It seems that there is also a civil engineering office there. The building was built over 40 years ago and had deteriorated significantly, so it was rebuilt and completed in 2018. Please refrain from complaining that if you want to explain it, show it. The scenery at the end of the road looked beautiful, so I turned right here. You can see the countryside. oh! The mountains, sky, and countryside are beautiful. The scenery of this rice field is beautiful. It makes me feel nostalgic for some reason. There is also a tea plantation in Kaisei Town. I was surprised because it wasn’t in my image at all. I have a strong image of Shizuoka. Waterways like this really get me excited. When I was a child, I remember being so happy when water flowed into a nearby irrigation canal. The Hydrangea Village sign (?) It’s a little hard to see, but it’s nice and tasteful. You can see Mt. Fuji even if it’s just your head. The little white spot on top of that mountain is near the top of Mt. Fuji. When you look at it like this, it doesn’t really stand out, but compared to other mountains, you can see that Mt. Fuji stands out by a head. The tea plantations are also beautiful. There’s a better guide than the one I gave you earlier. It looks like this road continues forever. One of the ways to enjoy walking is to walk along a path like this without thinking about anything. Just looking at the scenery is soothing. By the way, the photo was taken in early May, so the hydrangeas were not blooming, but during the hydrangea season, there seem to be a lot of hydrangeas blooming on the roads around here. It is said that 5,000 hydrangeas are planted along the roads and waterways. I feel like it feels more like summer vacation because the hydrangeas aren’t blooming. I thought it was already summer vacation. (Misunderstanding) Is it a rest area? Oh, it was the toilet. Being in a place like this would also be helpful for people working in the fields. There are also places to eat rice balls. Well, you can use something other than rice balls, but rice balls are often associated with taking a break from farming. I continue my walk without taking a break. Looking from a distance, I thought this was a T-junction and there was no way to go, but it seems like there is still a way to go, so I decided to keep going. The sound of water flowing is quite loud. The water is flowing with good force. The force of the water is so exciting. (I don’t understand) The force of the water is amazing! After all, landscapes with water are nice. It makes me feel nostalgic. There are some places where water is poured. It looks like there might be a tadpole or something. Now that I’m an adult, I don’t like frogs anymore, but I still want to see tadpoles. This one is also filled with water. Can you get crayfish? I remember fishing for crawfish when I was little. It was fun playing in the rice fields. It’s a beautiful view no matter where you look. I thoroughly enjoyed the rural scenery. thank you very much. There are also toilets in the square. There was also a toilet near the center of the countryside, but it’s nice to have a toilet in a place like this. If you suddenly lose your stomach in the middle of nowhere, you will be in the biggest crisis of your life. I was healed once again. thank you very much. Now let’s go home by a different route than the one we came from. The vermilion color of this house is eye-catching. Lanterns are also rare in private homes. It was a nice house, but I think it’s rude to take too many photos of private homes, so I’ll stop here. I would like to avoid the main street and go through a residential area. I’m heading towards the bridge (Jumonji Bridge) that I saw somewhere, but I’m nervous as I walk, wondering if I’ll hit a dead end. Looks like you can get away with it. It was good. When you see a housing complex on a sunny day, it reminds you of summer vacation, right? (Summer vacation again) I would be happy if someone could understand. I don’t really know why. The residential area is also nice and calm. Now that I think about it, it seems like the countryside is pitch black and dangerous at night, even if it’s still around here. It doesn’t bother me if I’m used to it, but I remember being surprised by how dark it was at night when I returned to my hometown after living in Tokyo. He is a wonderful Dosojin. The pine trees are also magnificent. The irrigation canals here are also beautiful, I thought, and just as I was taking pictures, I saw a train. I kind of like this combo. It’s really nice to see a townscape like this and the mountains ahead of the straight road. The impression seems to change a lot depending on whether you can see the mountains or not. It’s a restaurant with a great atmosphere. This restaurant is called “Miyuki Shokudo” and seems to be popular among the locals. It mainly serves ramen at lunchtime, and at night it seems to operate as an izakaya. Jumonji Bridge has arrived. History is written here. It seems that the first wooden “Jumonji Bridge” was built in 1891. It appears that part of the bridge was damaged by a typhoon in 2007, but renovations were completed in 2008 and it is now in its current state. This means that it is a fine bridge that supports the lives of local people even though it has suffered various types of damage. The view from Shinjumonji Bridge on the way there was beautiful, but the view from here is also beautiful. The new Jumonji Bridge was wider and more beautiful, but this one is better because you can feel the history. Both are different and both are good. The train has arrived. I don’t know much about trains, but I can’t help but look at the streets. It’s wonderful to see a train running through such beautiful scenery. The weather was really nice that day, and the sunlight reflecting off the water was beautiful. It feels like it’s hard to convey. The view from here is also wonderful. Mt. Fuji is also showing its head. Well, it’s Matsuda Town again. This is an irrigation canal, right? This is a fairly wide irrigation canal. I decided to go this way because it seemed to be a shorter and more interesting route than going back the way I came. yeah? This…will take us back to the path we were on before. So it’s a U-turn. (I don’t have the sense to choose a route) I can see the railroad tracks. This looks like the Odakyu Line track. Matsuda Station is on the Gotemba Line, but nearby Shin-Matsuda Station is on the Odakyu Line. It’s a T-junction. Which one should I go to? I pretended it was the right, but I thought the left was a shortcut. I’m sure this is the better route. Huh? I have a bad feeling… isn’t this…the road we were on before? on second thoughts! Isn’t that Jumonji Bridge? I should have been walking on a different route than the one I was going to, but it was also a shortcut! (Too stupid) This is the horror of Matsuda Town. (No) But I like this path. Even on the same road, you can see different scenery if you go in different directions. Well, I returned to Matsuda station. I’m not doing a pause check anymore. This time I took a walk around Matsuda Town and Kaisei Town. I was soothed by the contrast between the Sakawa River and the mountains, and by the seemingly endless countryside. It felt like a nostalgic Japanese landscape. If I have a chance, I would like to come during the “Hydrangea Festival”. This Matsuda station is also nice. It’s kind of cute. Thank you for watching until the end. If you’d like, let’s go for a walk together again.
