北海道は函館。青函トンネルを通って新幹線でやってきた。イカが有名だが、カニも。市場での散策を楽しんだ。
Then I went to see cherry blossoms in Goryokaku park. Koi-Noboris are there. There was a long queue in from of the elevator to the top of the tower, I gave up to wait and then into the park. Snow-capped mountains and cherry blossoms in full bloom, the water in the moat reflects the blossoms. It was excellent!.
お次はお目当ての桜。五稜郭公園に向かう。五稜郭タワーには鯉のぼりが。タワーに登るのにどうも一時間ほどの行列があるようなので諦めて公園へ。遠景に雪をかぶった山、堀の水に満開の桜が映って、それはそれは綺麗!
I just go over the bridge to the inside of the moat. It seems that it is not allowed to eat and drink inside of the moat. It is more relaxed and can enjoy watching blossoms. It was very hot, above 30 degrees, this weekend should be the last to watch blossoms. I was here in the best time.
橋を渡って堀の内側へ。堀のうち側ではどうやら飲食が規制されているようで、ゆっくりと花を堪能できる。30度を越える暑さ。これだけ暑いと、桜はこの週末で終わりか。正に最高のタイミング。
Again being back to the outside of the moat, I found that people were sitting and doing baroque there. They lent grills and also sold ingredients and drinks. It was a nice service.
再度堀の外に戻ってくると、座ってバーベキューをしている人たちを見つける。バーベキューセットの貸出やら飲み物を含めた食材を売っていた。これはいいサービス。
I went up to the top of the Hakodateyama mountain by cable car where it is very famous for its night view from the top. Of course there was no night view but it was a great view.
ケーブルカーで夜景がとても有名な函館山に登る。もちろん夜景は拝めないが、素晴らしい眺め。
