【ランクル70東北旅#4】岩手・宮城・福島・長野｜磐梯吾妻スカイライン｜猪苗代湖｜蔵王

It’s 9 o’clock. So early. So early. And the hot springs are already over for today. Seriously. Yeah. Thank you, Utarube Campground. Thank you. Today we’re heading to National Route ○, oh, is it the expressway? The expressway, the Utarube Bypass. Uh, Utarube Bypass? Lol, take the Utarube Bypass. Yes, in Akita, oh, Iwate. We’re heading to Koiwai Farm in Iwate. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Hello, this is Shua Tabi. We’re currently traveling the Tohoku region with our beloved dog Shua and our beloved Land Cruiser. It ‘s a long journey of 7 nights and 8 days, starting from Hyogo Prefecture where we live, passing along the Sea of ​​Japan coast through Niigata Prefecture, Yamagata Prefecture, Aomori Prefecture, and now Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture, and finally back home . 2 hours to Koiwai Farm. 2 hours to Koiwai. On the expressway? Ah, I thought we said we’d be on the expressway a little. If I hadn’t taken the highway, it would have taken an extra hour. Eh, really? Mt. Iwate, the symbol of Iwate Prefecture . My favorite ranch . Delicious soft-serve ice cream . I didn’t get to the animal play area, but there was a dog run on the premises . I couldn’t see Shua-kun. I bought some souvenirs to take home. Souvenirs purchased . Heading to a campsite in Miyagi Prefecture. To avoid losing time, I ate in the car . No, I was sleepy, so I thought I’d wake up. Wow, there are so many people here. Check-in completed. The site is so large, I wonder how many cars can fit in total? Pets are only allowed in certain areas, though. I had a craft beer from Baeren Brewery, a local Iwate brewery . Cheers. Good work. I discovered a mysterious light truck, and intrigued, I followed it . It was a light truck selling handcrafted beer while driving around the premises . Amazing. Yes, wild grapes. Oh, right. I want to drink this. Which one? Grapes? Yeah. I got to try the draft beer. So delicious. So delicious. So delicious. Pineapple? So delicious. So delicious. So delicious. Wow, it tastes like grape juice. Like sparkling wine. I’ll drink it. Yes. Is it good? Delicious. Koiwai beef sausage cheese. It’s cheese. Wait a minute. It says cheese in parentheses, but I bought an assortment of cheeses. No, if it’s just beef sausage, it’s not that good. This is cheese too. It’s all cheese. What’s wrong with that? Let’s eat. Let’s eat. Koiwai cheese. Koiwai cheese. Delicious. Even more delicious than I expected. It was super expensive, I didn’t ask how much it cost. How much did it cost? I guessed . 1200 yen. Eh, how did you know? You’re right. It’s expensive. It’s expensive, right? How did you know? Did you see it? Did you look online? No, I didn’t look. I didn’t look at it at all. If it’s expensive, I think it’s around 1000 yen. The rest are 1100, 1200 , or I’d go for the safe middle of 1200. Even though it was so expensive, I still bought this. Why? Well, there were three kinds: normal, cheese, and one really thick one like this, all in one. Oh, that sounds interesting. 1800 yen. So I gave up (lol) . I’d get in trouble for buying a single sausage for 1800 yen. I can buy Abe, so one Abe is about 1800 yen , right? Koiwai Farm variety set. I couldn’t decide what to buy, so I went for hors d’oeuvres. I just took a bath, let’s have some. Post-bath pineapple beer. Delicious! I ‘ll drink more . Aomori is synonymous with apples. Speaking of apples, I found various types of cider made by Nikka at the supermarket, so I picked out three to try and compare . This is a new variety of apple from 2024, apparently. This is the Happy Yellow Apple, and this is the normal Hirosaki Nama Cider. Which one should I start with? Is it more fruity ? I can’t really tell the difference. Apple juice. Focused. It’s not correct. I’ll hide. Did it match? Morioka Reimen is complete . It’s done. Let’s eat. Speaking of Morioka , it might be delicious. Yes. Delicious. It might be really delicious. Maybe? I want to buy some as a souvenir. I’d like to finish off with some Happy Yellow Apple Cider. Yes. I don’t really know. This seems to be a local Morioka delicacy. It’s 9:08 AM. I’m currently in a place called Sendai, about an hour and a half from the Fukiage Park campground, so I’ll have lunch there. I’m going for beef tongue lunch today, and I’m heading to the parking lot that opens at 11:00 AM, Tanya Zenjiro Kitane branch. It’s in Sendai’s Aoba Ward, so I think it might be a little crowded, so I’ll aim to arrive about 30 minutes before opening, which takes me an hour and a half. Today’s campsite is Mobirage in Fukushima. Right. No…I think it was Inawashiro? It’s a place called Mobilage along Lake Inawashiro in Aizuwakamatsu City, so I’ll have to drive there again. How long does it take to get there? 3 hours and 9 minutes on the highway. Yeah. But it’s not bad at all. If I were to come from Sendai, it’d be even closer. Sendai is close. 2 hours, Sendai City . Wow, we’ve arrived in Sendai. Hold on, beef tongue! I waited about 30 minutes, it was amazing!! Thank you for the delicious meal. It was delicious. It was a feast. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. I also love the pickles and green chili miso that are eaten with beef tongue . Anyway, as for my plans for the rest of today, I’m currently driving through Sendai city. I’ll do some shopping in the city and head to the campsite, and on the way there I plan to take the Bandai-Azuma Skyline. This is a super famous road that probably every motorcyclist or car enthusiast knows, and it’s a scenic road that’s been selected as one of Japan’s 100 best roads, and I’ve seen videos where it’s like you’re overseas and the wind is really strong, so that sounds interesting. Sounds really interesting. I’m looking forward to it . And here, I’m sure it says something like you shouldn’t open the windows. That’s it! I get it. It’s like a basin, with a straight stretch, and Mori Kohei said it’s really windy and smells really bad. Did Mori Kohei go there too? Maybe not? I was there. I was there. Oh no, switching from shy to shy. So fast. I just got this souvenir from a follower at a beef tongue restaurant. Zunda is a bean paste made from edamame beans, and apparently it’s a Sendai specialty. I love zunda, so I’m happy. Delicious. Edamame-flavored vanilla ice cream with a slight saltiness. This is so good. It’s an edamame-flavored McShake. Yup. Delicious. So good. Fruit fields unique to Fukushima Prefecture spread out before me. The clouds look a little ominous. I’m climbing a winding mountain road . I’m getting gas, like intestines. It was sunny below, but now it’s like I ‘m in a sea of ​​clouds? It’s suddenly so amazing. Ah, so scary. Hold on a minute. My stomach’s churning. I don’t think I can drive here. Scary. So scary. Oh, so scary. I can’t do this anymore, I look left. No way, no way. So scary. Things like this are exciting. But come on, there are already so many Roadsters. I parked my car at the observation deck and took a walk . It’s cold. It’s 22 degrees now, I feel like it’s not even 22 degrees. It’s starting to rain, but I want to climb up there. That (mountainside). Well, the peak over there is pretty tough, so it feels like a lot of people have come to ride their bikes and cars up to that area . It’s fun just watching . Wait, wait. It’s raining too much. It’s raining too much. Is it going to stop? Will it stop? I gave up on climbing. On my way back, it started to clear up. That’s so true. I’m heading to a campsite in Aizuwakamatsu City. The area along Lake Inawashiro is bustling with people enjoying summer leisure activities. I take a walk around the site . It’s a nice campsite. I’m going to scout it out while drinking beer. You can see Lake Inawashiro on the left. There are places like this too . The view is beautiful here too. Oh, this area is open too. Yes, it’s beautiful. A lovely campsite along Lake Inawashiro. It’s so beautiful . I want to sit here and have a coffee. That’s nice. Hold on . Want another. Want a kiss? Kururin has achieved the unprecedented feat of being ranked number one in the world for three years in a row. Niizawa Brewery, located in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture. I just looked it up, and it seems to be used in restaurants. Yeah, it’s used in star-ranked restaurants. I wonder what it means to be number one in Japan. I’m curious. Wow, it’s so delicious. This is so delicious. It ‘s got absolutely no impurities. It’s delicious. Not number one in Japan, but number one in the world. Apparently, there’s a sake tasting competition held in London, England, and it’s the world’s best brewery. Yeah. It’s not this sake, but rather this brewery that’s been ranked number one in the world for three years in a row. Don’t just drink sake all the time – it’s delicious. No, all the sake on this trip was delicious. All of it was delicious. It was really delicious. I got really into sake on my trip to Tohoku. Yeah. It’s really delicious. Tohoku is amazing, after all. Haven’t I said that so often? I look forward to sake every night. The next morning, day five. Yes. It’s day five of my Tohoku trip. Good morning. Good morning. Today is the middle day of our two-night stay at Lake Inawashiro’s Mobility Campground, so I’m going to do some sightseeing and exploring in the area. It’s 7:19 this morning. I’m already looking great. All my makeup is done, the tents are packed up, and I’m heading to Kitakata for some morning ramen. Yay. It’s rare for us to leave the campground this early in the morning and be active. No, it’s amazing. I’ve noticed that lately. Yes, I’ve noticed. Hot springs and showers aren’t meant to be taken in the morning. That’s obvious, but you shouldn’t take them in the morning. I’ve never actually used a coin shower before, even after all this camping. It’s going to stink anyway, so I’d rather have a campfire. I thought it would be best to take a bath the next day, but if we took turns bathing at night, I could perfect my makeup at the campsite in the morning, and then I’d end up losing about an hour or an hour and a half if I went to the hot spring, and then the next day… It ‘s such a waste of time. I’m addicted to coin showers. Washing is so much faster with a coin shower. Even a coin shower costs 100 yen for 3 minutes, so you can use two tickets. 200 yen. We were talking about going to eat Kitakata ramen, a famous local ramen in Fukushima Prefecture, and apparently Kitakata ramen is famous for its morning ramen , and it opens at 7 AM. Apparently, even at 7 AM, there’s an hour-long line at this super-famous restaurant with 7,000 reviews, so I thought I’d give it a try. I drove 30-40 minutes to Kitakata City. That’s a crazy hour-long wait. Wow, there’s a line like that. I can’t handle it. It’s impossible. It’s too much. They open at 7am, and this is it! It’s crazy. Why is there such a long line? Unable to make a U-turn, I headed down a narrow back alley and found a ramen shop open in the morning . Is it still 7am? It’s exactly 8am. Morning ramen. I could drink it all. The clear soup was absolutely delicious. The large slices of pork were also amazing . Thank you for the meal. Thank you for the meal. I ended up skipping the Kitakata ramen and going for shio ramen. The noodles were flat, thick, and curly. Yes, they were curly. The soup is basically soy sauce-based, but the flavor varies by store. Each store uses a blend of pork bone, chicken, dried sardines, and other ingredients. The toppings are the usual pork sirloin, menmama , or traditional Chinese noodles. There’s a culture of eating ramen in the morning, and it’s called morning ramen. It was fun, everyone was there to eat it . It’s not like ramen in the morning is like that. It was crowded and there was a line. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s going to rain today, and the weather is looking promising, so I think those clouds are coming in and it’s going to rain around Kitakata. I really wanted to go to Zao yesterday, but I didn’t have time, so I ‘ll be heading north again, but I’m heading there for two hours to get revenge on Zao. I want to buy some Yonezawa beef. It’s raining so hard in both Zao and Yonezawa right now, so I’m stopping off at a butcher and a roadside station to do my groceries for the day. It’s supposed to clear up around noon , but it’s raining heavily, so I’m killing time. I managed to buy some Yonezawa beef. I managed to buy some Yonezawa beef. I bought some Yonezawa beef for tomorrow’s yakiniku, and two 100% Yonezawa beef hamburgers for dinner tonight. Wow. I’m looking forward to the hamburgers. Ta-da. I bought some Yonezawa beef croquettes. I don’t know where the beef is. That’s how it is. Isn’t it scary that ramen doesn’t really fill you up? Ramen? Yeah. I’m already full. Really? I ‘m hungry. I had ramen for breakfast and my stomach feels a bit off. After eating ramen, I always feel like I could eat even more. Shall we go to Kitakata Ramen again on the way back? Yeah. Do you really want to go? It seems like you want to go, it would be great, but if you have time, 17 degrees is amazing. I said I’d lend you my jacket , but we’re heading for the power spot, Okama, but we can’t see anything. I can see a little. I can’t see anything, but then I see a little! We’re heading down the mountain and having a seafood bowl for lunch in the car. It looks really delicious. All of this is 690 yen. We returned to the delicious roadside station, Lake Inawashiro. Shua was excited to find out there was a dog run, but… 4 o’clock? It’s over. What? Shua, you’re done? What? You’re kidding me!! Is that even possible? I missed the dog run before it closed. Oh no! Shua, I wanted to play. Sorry Shua, maybe I was driving too slow. It’s over. I want to go~ I want to go to the dog run~ Sorry Shua (lol) Inawashiro Beer Otokoume is available everywhere and is a Tohoku exclusive, right? (Just kidding) Cheers, good work. It really does taste like sudachi. Oh, it’s still half-cooked . Let’s eat. I think this is the first time I’ve eaten a hamburger steak without any seasonings. Yeah, that’s true. It makes me feel like it’s a shame. I want to taste the meat. This one has a really strong flavor, though. Yes , I sprinkled salt on the first one, but not on the second one. Oh, really? Everything was beautiful. Well, I still have one more day left. That’s right, my trip to Tohoku is over today, but I’ll be gradually heading back, spending my last night in Nagano Prefecture tomorrow before slowly heading back to Osaka. Good night, good morning. Good morning. Today marks my final farewell to the Tohoku region. Thank you. I’ve learned that Tohoku is truly an amazing place. So, instead of heading directly back to Hyogo today, I’m heading to Niigata first, then staying one night at Nakayama Kogen Campground in Nagano Prefecture, before heading back to Kansai tomorrow. It’s currently 8:03 AM. It’ll take me 4 hours and 20 minutes to get to the campground. Yes. It’s far. It’s far. It’s quite a distance. My stomach’s growling. Shall I eat ramen before heading home? I don’t think I can get through Kitakata. I don’t think I can. Well, it’s Kitakata City, but I have to go pretty far out of Kitakata’s ramen district. But I’d love to have ramen if it’s available. I’m addicted . Revenge. But if you asked me which was better, Kitakata ramen or Morioka reimen, I’d say Morioka reimen was better. And Morioka reimen isn’t a restaurant, is it? It’s the packaged kind, right? They sell takeaway packs of Hige Hige in supermarkets, refrigerated. Yeah. It was really delicious. So next time I go to Iwate, I definitely want to eat at the Hige store. It was really delicious. I think I passed by the store once , but the line was so long I couldn’t get in. It’s near Koiwai. I found a lot of delicious food in Tohoku. It’s really full of delicious food. I want to introduce it to everyone. I really want to introduce it to everyone. I want everyone to go. Give me a Mos Burger in Niigata Prefecture too . Wow. Oh, there’s a coffee shop here too. It’s open, wow, that ‘s great. Wow, that’s amazing. Switch to 4WD! 4WD mode! How do you switch? Alright, 4WD mode! 4WD mode. Cheers. Cheers. Yoshi, a familiar face on Shua Tabi, came all the way from Tokyo. It’s beautiful. It’s all soba. All-you -can-eat. Finally, I’m glad we were able to come to a campsite that Shua could enjoy. Now, let’s go home after a week. We take long holidays a few times a year and go on trips with our family . These are precious days off. In fact, this hasn’t changed since I was a child , and traveling is one of the important things that has shaped who I am today. This year’s long holiday over the New Year’s period is a revenge for last year, and I’m planning to go on a road trip to Australia. Oh, that’s cool. I won’t give it away . It was my first time touring the Tohoku region, and I was impressed by the abundance of nature and the deliciousness of the sake. Sake ? (lol) I wasn’t able to take my time in each prefecture, so next time I’d like to visit the hot springs and world heritage sites of Tohoku. By the evening, I was back in Kansai. Thank you for your hard work on the long journey and for driving safely. I even got to wash my Roadster with you.
