A perfectly normal day in Japan.
Time to pack again, as the journey continues to Kagoshima.

Nagabeta Seabed Road

The tide is rising and the Nagabeta Seabed Road is bathed in stunning colors at sunset.
Built by fishermen to facilitate their work, the road disappears twice daily beneath the tide.

Time-lapse filmed from approximately 2 PM to 8:15 PM.
High tide at 7 PM & sunset at 7:30 PM.

Jimbe is easier to get to.
A bus and a train. Not driving often butbyou have a choice ;)
He sits next to the Nagabeta seaside road.
This road built by fisherman is only usable during low tide and vanishes in the sea during high tide.

If you time it well and again some walking you can hop onto the next bus to the Mifune Fureai Park (Dinosaur Park).

There you will find Brook jamming!

Sanji is right next to the Mashiki City Gymnasium.
Needs a little bit of walking from the bus station.

Beside millions of mascots completely unheard of by us foreigners, there are also mascots which are known across borders.

Like Kumamon the big boss of all mascots in Kumamoto.
This time in his car mechanic?? suit.

And I love the many different little benches for kids.
This time as a shinkansen.

When you travel through Japan, you'll meet what feels like millions of mascots.
Every little town has its own :)

May I present:
Karaimo-kun the local mascot of Ozu-machi in Kumamoto Prefecture.
It depicts a "Karaimo" (sweet potato), which is a local specialty, wearing a traditional hat and scarf.

If you're really venturing out of the cities, you should plan carefully. Buses there often run only "sporadically".
