秋の紅葉を楽しむ日帰り盛岡旅行VLOG｜紅葉の城跡と美食・日帰り温泉に癒される大満足の盛岡観光10時間♨️
I’m at Tokyo Station. I’m heading to Morioka for a day trip. Morioka was chosen by the New York Times as one of the 52 places to visit in 2023. I’ve been curious about it for a long time, and finally decided to go. I’ve been putting it off, but I wonder what kind of trip it will be. I want to eat hiyashi hiyashi hiyashi hiyashi I’ve always wanted to go to Morioka , but I always choose bibim noodles instead of hiyashi hiyashi I’ve always wanted to go to Pyonpyonsha in Tokyo, and my thoughts wander. It ‘s quite far away, so it’s always been on the back burner as a potential travel destination. This time, I’ll take on the challenge and enjoy it on a day trip. I also want to go to Niigata, and since I decided the day before, most of the two-seater seats were already taken. I also bought an ekiben, which I’ve been longing for! Speaking of traveling, ekiben is a must-have – I’m already looking forward to it.6 :56 I don’t like early mornings so I’m not that hungry but I’m greedy so I chose a seafood bento for breakfast and since I’m on a trip I overdid it (my usual breakfast is adult furikake hon bonito rice) I might end up eating a lot of calories for breakfast and making the AsuKen lady cry ☝️ AsuKen lady Mirai-san It’s good to have a day like this where you can turn everything into a travel memory Oh – It’s luxurious I really feel like I’m on a trip I’m not that hungry but I can feel like a delicious trip is about to begin Days like this don’t come around very often so I was eating the ekiben and daydreaming and before I knew it I was in Morioka. After Omiya it’s Sendai and then Sendai and then (how early!) What a great place! Isn’t it too early in Morioka ? I’ve only just left the ticket gate, but I could already feel it. The atmosphere is overwhelmingly different. The sounds of the city are incredibly quiet. I could already feel the soothing atmosphere. I rented a car from Times car sharing and headed into town. It’s convenient because it can be used nationwide. First, I went to Morioka Castle Ruins Park. As soon as I walked, I was excited to see the Iwate Bank Red Brick Building. It has a beautiful, classical appearance and blends seamlessly into the city. Wow, it’s really beautiful. I may have come at just the right time (it was November 2nd). I just stared blankly. Time flows differently, and a solo trip overlooking the Nakatsugawa River would be very pleasant. I could almost lose track of time. It was perfect as it was the beautiful season for the leaves to change color. What a beautiful park. Walking with my dog in such a lovely place. Is this a novel or a movie? I’m envious that there are people who actually live this kind of life – this must be a famous photo spot (I often see this view in photos) – I’m so happy I was able to actually come here when the leaves are falling in autumn – it looks like a postcard, but it would also be wonderful with snow piled up. This park is not only beautiful, but the size is just right and it’s great to take a walk in – I’m sure it shows different beauty in each season – I want to come back again and again – a walk in the autumn leaves is so vivid and fun – the river is also wonderful – it really soothes the soul – it’s a shame it can’t be conveyed in a video – you ‘re enveloped in a comfortable calm – that’s the feeling – the beauty of nature is also amazing – we’ve only just started our tour, but we can already see that this could be featured in the New York Times – once we came we understood the charm of Morioka – we went to see the Iwate Bank across the street – this is exactly what Tokyo Station is like! It’s small, but it’s also cute and lovely. There are free and paid tours, and we proceeded to the free area. There was a weaving event going on. It’s amazing that an event is being held in such a wonderful place. Apparently you can go up to the second floor for free. Let’s go up. The retro architecture is lovely. The brick exterior is also nice. It makes you want to eat a cake set. A city with such beautiful architecture is vibrant. We got back in the car and headed for lunch. The autumn leaves are truly beautiful. We bought some grapes from the greengrocer across from the Iwate Bank. They said they were from Hanamaki City and seemed to be a mix of various varieties. We decided to try them right away . We also bought some leaf ginger, tomatoes, and nameko mushrooms. The leaf ginger was dipped in miso and all the vegetables were delicious. The grapes were delicious. We drove for just under 30 minutes to our destination, the hiyashi noodle restaurant. Hiyashi noodle is a must-try when sightseeing in Morioka (it’s not an exaggeration to say that we came here just for this). However, we had to choose from a number of restaurants. 。 本当に待っていてくださいね！ English : There was only one restaurant (I really wanted to go to all the famous ones, but I’m getting old and hungry…), and after much deliberation, I decided to go with this one. I had heard of it, but it’s an incredibly popular restaurant. I waited in the car until I was called , and the staff told me it would take about an hour and a half . Finally, I was able to enter the restaurant . I started waiting in the parking lot with the bell at 11:14 and was able to enter the restaurant at 12:45 . The wait was really about an hour and a half. I’m so glad I had an ekiben for breakfast on the Shinkansen. I want to thank my past self for being so greedy and thinking I ‘d eat an ekiben since I was riding the Shinkansen. I’m starving now! I highly recommend that tourists come here for a proper breakfast. Cook it quickly ! Look! This clear soup. The long-awaited cold noodles are now right in front of me. Let’s eat the soup! Just one sip made me so glad I came to Morioka. Is it the beef broth packed with a slightly sweet flavor ? It’s surprisingly delicious! The noodles are clear, smooth, chewy, and incredibly delicious! It’s no wonder people line up when it’s this delicious . There were a lot of people waiting in the parking lot, including locals. It’s no wonder it’s so popular. I wonder where people who come by bus wait? I guess the only option is to come by car. It seems like it would be a high hurdle if you’re traveling alone. It’s so delicious, I want to eat it again and again. After enjoying the cold noodles, I headed to a new tourist spot – Koiwai Farm. The leaves here were also colorful and very beautiful. The Toyota Gazoo Racing Rally Challenge was being held that day, and there were lots of colorful cars coming and going. It’s a great tourist spot! I had no idea it was such a historic farm ! There was a dog event that day, and it was lively with lots of dogs and their owners. When you come to a farm, ice cream is a must . I ordered the regular plain type, which tasted just like milk and was refreshingly delicious. You could really feel the freshness of the milk. After eating the ice cream, we went to the farm on the other side of the road. This place is also vast and worth seeing. This scenery reminds me of the manga “Animal Doctor” I used to read… It’s about the student life of students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Hokkaido University, and I loved it. We also got to see the cows. There was only one calf here. Afterwards, we went to a day spa♨️ (Oshuku Onsen Kawanaga). It was raining suddenly and I forgot to take a video. The open-air bath was closed due to bear sightings, which was a shame (the hot spring was a free-flowing one, so it was nice and mellow). The hot springs are amazing! Even a day trip was enjoyable. After returning the car and returning to the station, all that’s left is to catch the Shinkansen! Even inside the station, there’s this wonderful place: a firefly squid and sashimi platter, my favorite fried oysters , and a meal to round off the trip. Since it’s inside the station building, you can relax and enjoy your food and drinks without having to worry about catching the Shinkansen . The ticket gates are right there, so you can relax and enjoy your meal . The food was delicious, and maybe it was the effects of the drinks, but I was reminiscing about my trip and feeling great. The hot springs also warmed my body. ♨️ Behind this restaurant is Hakuryu, famous for its Jajamen noodles. It’s also popular and crowded. I would have liked to have a drink after the meal, but as I get older, it’s hard to eat that much. I was also interested in wankosoba, but it’s spicy to eat it in a hurry. I wanted to try several hiyashimen restaurants, but I guess I should save that for next time. The belly ribs were also delicious. Is oily fish good for you? ←The beer’s beautiful color, a deep red mixed with amber, is amazing. I tried the local craft beer, Iwate Kura Beer Michinoku Red Ale. Alcohol is always delicious when you’re traveling (I don’t drink it at home). It was so delicious 😋 It was so much fun, even though it was close to the station . The trip ended so quickly. Morioka was closer than I expected . It ‘s amazing that we live in an age where you can enjoy Morioka in just four stations from Tokyo. I went to the hot springs, had a drink, and felt great. Is it really okay to travel so casually? I took the Hayabusa train. I thoroughly enjoyed Morioka. It was a wonderful place. I want to visit again and again. Thank you for watching for so long.
こんにちは！じゅーんです。
今回は秋の紅葉を楽しむために盛岡に行ってきました。
しかも日帰りです。
前からずっと行きたかった盛岡。意外と遠いし時間が取れたらと旅の候補地としてはあとまわしにしてきました。
実際ははやぶさで東京駅から４駅というあっという間の旅でした。
こんなにも気軽に行くことが出来たとは知らなかったです。
ほんとにびっくりするくらい素敵な都市でした。やることなくてもふらっとこの空気感を味わうためだけに何度でも訪れたい。動画じゃ伝わりにくいけど（がんばって伝えろよ！）疲れてるほど効く癒される旅先だと思いました。
（こりゃNYタイムズの記事にも載るわ）
また冬の盛岡も見てみたいですね。
