【移動/品川→仙台】平日の朝っから。東北の桜が見たい！早朝、常磐線に飛び乗って358㎞大移動する女。

Hello! This is Suimie. This trip was with the Seishun 18 Kippu. (Seichun18ticket)It starts from Shinagawa Station. The video was taken on April 10th. This is the last day the ticket can be used. From Shinagawa Station, I will take the Joban Line to Sendai. In the previous video, I traveled on the Tokaido Line from Yokohama to Kyoto using the Seishun 18 Kippu. If you are interested, please check out the previous video. Take the 6:35am train bound for Katsuta. This time I was heading to a certain place in the Tohoku region for a personal purpose, but I only had one Seishun 18 Ticket left, so I was able to use it as much as I could. So I decided to make a vlog. This is actually my first time riding the Joban Line. I’m looking forward to seeing what it feels like. That’s right, I wanted to take the earliest train possible today, so I decided to take the 6 o’clock train. Weekday morning at Shinagawa Station. I was right in thinking that it would be best to get on the bus before it gets crowded during the rush hour, as it is sure to be very crowded around 7 o’clock. Although you cannot use the Seishun 18 Kippu on Shinkansen or limited express trains , you can ride on green cars that run mainly in the Kanto area for an additional fee, so I would like to use them. There is a green ticket vending machine on the platform, so I’m looking for it now. There it was! Ticket-vending machine. I’ll buy it here soon. It’s almost time. I use Suica. I’ve never done it, but it looks like you can buy it with points. It’s convenient. The fare to Katsuta was 1,550 yen. I managed to make it in time. I’m glad I was able to ride. When traveling on the Seishun 18 Kippu , you have a set schedule, so if you miss even one train, your plans will be thrown off. I have to be careful. I was able to sit on the second floor! Actually, it was quite empty and I had plenty of time. The last time I took the Tokaido Line, it was a public holiday, so the second floor seats were already taken and I ended up sitting on the first floor. The view of the scenery is probably completely different, so I definitely recommend the seats on the second floor. This time I’m planning to get off at two places along the way. I want to go to a certain place to see cherry blossoms, and I’m really looking forward to that. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom just in time, so I think that was a good thing. I’m thinking of taking pictures of the scenery from the train window again this way, so I think I’ll be able to take pictures of cherry blossoms blooming in various places. I’m looking forward to that too. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom just in time, so I think that was a good thing. There are countless cherry blossom views across Japan that you have never seen before . After all, the second floor seats have a great view! Ah, the back side of Tokyo Station! I’m from Kansai, and when I first saw Tokyo Station, I thought, ”What a lovely station building I am! ” I remember being moved by it . There’s something refreshing about the view of the building early in the morning. The hustle and bustle of the city, which may seem noisy during the day or night, looks different in the early morning. This morning too, the trains in this city are transporting many people to their various places. This is today’s breakfast. Since it was the first train to leave from the nearest station in the morning, it ended up being a convenience store rice ball. This is Edogawa. East of Tokyo…I don’t go to the Chiba area often, so I see many of the sights for the first time, so it’s kind of refreshing. It’s about in front of the Toride station. Once you get to this point, there will be no more tall buildings. Entering Ibaraki Prefecture from Chiba Prefecture. Ah, such a calming view. I want to see this kind of scenery forever. It’s peaceful. The plains continued for a while, but on the left side of the road we started to see mountains. That mountain is called Mt. Tsukuba. It has become quite a rural atmosphere. It’s nice, like this. There are many rice fields. You can see many mountains on the other side. Ah, I can see the cherry blossoms. I guess it’s a row of cherry blossom trees. Oh, it’s blooming. Great, it’s spring. People who live here can see cherry blossoms every day on their way to work or for a walk. When I look at scenery like this, I sometimes wonder how far the people who live here go shopping? Is there a supermarket or hospital nearby? I feel strangely worried. So when I saw something like a shopping center, oh! it was good! That’s what I think. We will soon arrive at Katsuta. It was around 9 o’clock, and it was rocking for two and a half hours. Thanks to this green car, I didn’t feel so much time. I have about 15 minutes to transfer, so I think I’ll take a restroom break and go outside the ticket gate for a bit. By the way, it’s a green car, but there weren’t many people getting on it, so I was able to spend a comfortable time in the car, which was mostly empty. As expected of a weekday! If the train leaves Shinagawa at around 7 or 8 o’clock, I don’t know if you’ll be able to get a seat. As I exited the ticket gate, I saw this bakery selling Katsuta’s Anpan. I bought some for a snack . The next train to board is the train leaving at 9:16. After this, there is a place where I would like to get off, so I will get off there. It is said to be a famous station. It’s my first time going there so I’m a little excited. Okay, let’s get off at Hitachi Station. I was on the train for about 30 minutes. The moment I got off Hitachi Station, I felt cold! have become. The temperature is different! The climate here is so different from that of Tokyo. It’s quite cold. The architecture of Hitachi Station seems to be a great photo spot, and the ocean looks beautiful too. I’m really looking forward to it. yeah? Isn’t this one? Is that the entrance to the station? Amazing, there is a continuous glass hallway. You can see the sea over there. It looks like a picture. The ticket gate…ah, something like this! I see, you can see the ocean. There are also models like this. The glass building you can see over there is apparently a movie spot where you can see the ocean. I’ll go over there. It’s bright with lots of light. It’s a bright station. The person who supervised the design of Hitachi Station was Kazuyo Imoshima, an architect from Hitachi City. This glass station building has won numerous awards, including the Good Design Award and the Bricker Award, which is said to be the Nobel Prize of architecture. The long view was spectacular! I tried going down a little lower. You can see the sea from here too. Nice, that road. What does it feel like to drive? Is it a little scary? But it feels good! It’s time for a little snack here. I’m going to try the anpan that I bought earlier. It contained anko and whipped cream! There’s no mistake! delicious! It was almost time, but I decided to go to the cafe. It’s the perfect cafe to relax and enjoy the view of the sea. The menu has a variety of items including coffee and juice. There are also lunch plates and desserts. I only ordered hot coffee. It would have been great if I could drink it with the anpan from earlier. The stopover was about an hour. The train I’m on now is bound for Haranomachi, leaving at 10:43. There is one more place I would like to get off at before arriving at Haranomachi. I stopped by this place when I traveled to Tohoku last year, and I wanted to go see the cherry blossoms there. This is a place where access was restricted for a long time due to the nuclear accident when the big earthquake occurred 13 years ago . Some of you who are watching this video may see some scenery that you would not want to see if possible. Before you arrive at the station, I will notify you with a caption. This area is the scenery after leaving Isohara Station in Kitaibaraki City. You can see the sea on the other side. National Route 6 runs right next to this railway line, and Route 6 is a national highway that runs approximately 353km from Tokyo to Sendai. That’s about the same distance I’ll be traveling today! I entered Fukushima prefecture. From Fukushima Prefecture to the Tohoku region. From Kanto, we finally entered Tohoku. Do you know how to read this station name? “Nakoso” That’s what it seems like. I won’t understand unless you tell me this. There are quite a few cars. There were about 3 or 4 passengers. Finally Iwaki Station, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. It was about an hour from Hitachi Station. From here on, it’s a station on the Joban Line beyond Iwaki, but the number of trains will be drastically reduced. If you’re not good at it, you’ll end up having to wait for two hours or so, instead of one per hour . So, since the place I’m planning to get off on is like that, I definitely don’t want to miss the train. Arrival at Iwaki Station. You will have to wait here for about 30 minutes. The inside of the car looks like this, and it’s completely empty. I will wait here for the train to depart without going outside. I also borrowed the restroom inside the car. We departed from Iwaki Station. The area from here onwards gradually enters the area that was greatly affected by the nuclear accident 13 years ago, so I think there will be less foot traffic and a quieter atmosphere. Departing from Tatsuta Station. We will finally get off at the next station after Tatsuta Station. The next station is Tomioka Station. When I get off at Tomioka Station, there is quite a bit of time until the next train, so I decided to take a walk to the next station after Tomioka, which is Yonomori Station. Yes, I’m going to see the cherry blossom trees in Yonomori. Arrival at Tomioka Station. Get off here. I think the camera will start showing the streets of Tomioka from here , so if you want to skip ahead a little bit, please skip to the part where you leave Yonomori Station.(Fast forward the video until this time→30:35) There is no station staff at the ticket gate. The station building also feels new. Let’s take a look at the timetable. The number of trains is like this. It’s about 1:00 PM now, so I’m planning to take the train from Yonomori Station at 4:10 PM.Waiting time is 3 hours. That’s right, if you miss one, you’ll have to wait about 3 hours if you’re bad. Evacuation routes are also written in case a tsunami hits. As I saw when I traveled to Tohoku last year, I think you can see signs and warnings about tsunamis everywhere in the city. Tomioka Station is an unmanned station. As expected, the station manager wasn’t there. Now, I’m going to go outside and aim for Yonomori Station, relying on Google Maps. I’m thinking of having lunch somewhere along the way. This time I’m dragging this carrier around, so it’s a bit difficult to pack, but I’m determined to do my best with my guts. There is also a small tourist information center in front of the station. They also sold small souvenirs. I hope there will be more tourists. I got a map at the tourist center. The upper right corner is a difficult-to-return area. This is an area where access is restricted due to the nuclear accident. If you look at the map, there are many places you can visit within walking distance. There seem to be several facilities related to earthquake disasters and nuclear power plants . There was also information on restaurants like this. There are quite a few restaurants. This time I’m heading towards Yonomori Station, so I won’t be able to stop by any facilities, but I’ll be heading to a restaurant from now on. You can climb up there. Kana Let’s go. Can you see far away? What does it feel like? You can see the sea on the other side. A bridge and a sea wall. This is Tomioka Station, where I just got off. Tomioka Station was apparently damaged by the tsunami during the Great East Japan Earthquake 13 years ago . It’s certainly close to the sea. The front of the station also has a clean and spacious impression. It feels like it was well maintained after the reconstruction. For now, I’m aiming for a restaurant. There’s no one walking. Cars rarely pass by. This is a place called "Orahoya", but it looks like it’s closed. That’s too bad. It looks like a place where you can eat set meals, but it was closed, so I looked for another restaurant . I found a Chinese restaurant along the way, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was running a shop! I ordered the mabo set for the first time in a while. It is like this. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten mabo tofu. It was spicy and delicious even when eaten on top of rice. There was a group of about 3 or 4 customers inside the store . Perhaps because it was a weekday, I was the only one wandering around sightseeing. Thank you for the meal! Oh, it’s been over an hour already. I quickly headed for Yonomori Station. Tomioka River…Cross here. Ah, the cherry blossoms are blooming. This is a painting of a fishing port drawn by students from Tomioka Daiichi Junior High School. It’s a wonderful piece of work. The signboard is small, but it says Yonomori. I wonder how much longer it will take? According to the map, I think it’s about 1.5 or 2 km left…but I’ll do my best. Dragging my carry-on bag, I continued along the idyllic road. No cars pass at all. I checked the map multiple times to make sure I wasn’t going the wrong way. After walking for a while, I saw what looked like a row of cherry blossom trees. Is this it? Row of cherry blossom trees in Yonomori. Let’s walk a little further. It’s probably right. The Yonomori district had been a difficult-to-return area for a long time due to the nuclear accident 13 years ago. Last year, most of Yonomori was finally made habitable, with 1,143 households now living there. It’s very beautiful. There are quite a few people coming to see the cherry blossoms. I was talking to someone who was walking nearby earlier, and he said something like, “There was a barricade set up from here, so you couldn’t stand on the other side.” When I heard such real voices, even though I only knew about it through videos and information, I was able to feel for myself that this was really happening here. Last year I drove along the same road in a rental car, and back then I thought there were more ruined buildings than they are now. I got the impression that new houses were starting to be built in the year since the difficult-to-return zone was lifted last year. I’m just a tourist, but when I come to a place I have no connection to and see the rows of cherry blossom trees, I’m the only one who’s impressed. I’m sure this is a place filled with the immeasurable feelings of many people over the past 13 years. Recovery in the true sense of the word is still a long way off. I pray silently that as many people as possible will be reunited with this row of cherry blossom trees. The cherry blossoms are also lit up at night. I’d like to see that too. Yonomori Station. I arrived a little earlier than I expected. I think I’ll wander around and see the cherry blossoms a little more. This is a work drawn by elementary and junior high school students in Tomioka. Yonomori station. You can see cherry blossoms blooming all over the area around Yonomori Station. Cherry blossoms are blooming like this along the railroad tracks. That area is also in full bloom. Someone with a nice camera was taking pictures of the cherry blossoms. It doesn’t seem that crowded even on weekdays, so it might be a little-known spot. I barely passed any cars on the walk from Tomioka Station to here, but everyone was there to see the cherry blossoms. Cars and motorcycles often pass by. This is Yonomori Station, and in 2020, when the Joban Line was restored to the front line, trains became usable, but at that time, some areas were still in the restricted period. And last year, it finally happened… I wonder how much the residents wanted it. This is the view from the front of the station, and you can see that the land has been cleaned up, probably after the earthquake, and new houses are popping up between the vacant lots. I’m back at the station. It’s almost time for departure. I found “Oden” in a vending machine ! I’ve never seen anything like this before. Is it limited to Tohoku? I wasn’t hungry, so I didn’t buy oden. I was a little interested in it, but if I see it somewhere again, I think I’ll buy it. Then I’ll take the train leaving at 16:10, so I’m heading home now. There were some people waiting in front of the station. It was a long time until the train, so I think they were killing time on the benches in front of the station. I’m really glad I came to see the cherry blossoms. Yonomori Station is also an unmanned station. There are no station staff. It’s an 18 ticket, so I’ll just go in. a! There was that now. This one. This is an electronic bulletin board that shows the amount of radiation. I don’t know anything about radiation, but the value I just received was 0.144 microsieverts. It is within the safety standard value. The train arrived about 5 minutes late. I’m going to Haranomachi. I was a little nervous because I thought the train wasn’t coming . good! I will go to Haranomachi, change trains again, and then head for Sendai. I’m starting to get a little tired around here. I feel like I’m going to sleep right now. I walked quite a bit today. I’ve been walking, so I’m pretty tired. "The exit is on the left. Please wait until the train has stopped before getting off." This is Namie Station. The line from Tomioka Station, where I got off today, to Namie Station was unusable for a long time, but the entire line was restored in 2020. Our car was in this area just before Odaka Station, which is about 2km from the sea, and apparently the tsunami from the Great East Japan Earthquake hit this far. Although I can’t see the ocean from my window , I can see how powerful the tsunami was at that time. Arrival at Haranomachi. Here you will transfer to Sendai. The transfer station is directly across the platform. It was around 16:50. The train leaving Haranomachi also departed about 5 minutes late. Sorry, I’ve reached the limit of sleepiness and have gone into sleep mode. I wanted to see the scenery of Minamisoma City and Soma City, but I just couldn’t get enough of the drowsiness. The 18 ticket trip has ended. I arrived at Sendai Station. A friend gave me the remaining two doses, and I used them all in conjunction with the previous video and this one. Go outside from where the station staff is. You can take the Seishun 18 Kippu home with you. Today’s mission ended successfully. Then I’ll go have dinner! There is a local restaurant in a building called S-PAL, so I decided to go there. "Miyagino" serves local cuisine from Miyagi Prefecture. I’ve hardly ever eaten the local cuisine of Miyagi Prefecture. They have a very luxurious menu. Which should I choose? I ordered a set of Harako rice and fried oysters. However, the fried oysters were out of stock, so I ended up having tempura. Everything looks delicious like this ! Harako rice was so delicious that I wanted a second helping! I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve had fresh bubble wrap roe. It was delicious! That’s all for this video. I would be happy if you could subscribe to the channel and hit the good button. Look forward to the next video! Thank you for watching till the end

青春18きっぷの春季利用最終日、品川から仙台まで常磐線の旅をしました！今回はなんと、しっかり途中下車で夜ノ森駅の桜を見に行ってきたよ〜！☺️桜は満開。13年前の震災のあと、原発事故のため一部が立入制限されていたという福島県双葉郡富岡町の夜ノ森。去年訪れた時には開花前の桜並木を通りました。今年また、行くことができて嬉しかったです！長距離移動は車窓の景色を楽しめるものの、電車の中でとうとう大爆睡！ということもありましたが、なんとか仙台までたどり着いたのでした〜。
