Okayama 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Tamano Tennoike Bamboo Forest I've lived in Okayama for over 20 years, but I didn't know about this bamboo forest. It's a location that's just like Arashiyama in Kyoto. The bamboo leaves swaying in the wind make a sound. I took a leisurely stroll through the bamboo forest. The owner here is elderly, and it has become difficult to work on the bamboo forest, so the "Tamano City Tennoike Bamboo Forest Association" is maintaining it. The promenade is about 70m long. They don't throw away the bamboo that they cut down, but use it for the fences on the promenade, so they are also working to avoid wasting resources. After passing through the bamboo forest, Tennoike Pond spreads out before me. The parking lot is hard to find, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, so be careful. There's a unique display at the entrance? There are also a lot of them, so they are also interesting 😂👍 lol 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 ⁡ 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website Nagao Tenno Ikeshita, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #okayama #okayamatrip #okayamasightseeing

A park installed on the breakwater of Uno Port. Artworks lined up in the spacious area. Objects of black porgy made from garbage and driftwood collected along the coast of Uno Port and Lake Kojima. The waste that drifted in the Seto Inland Sea has taken on a new form and is displayed as art pieces at Uno Port. Next to the black porgy, 'Kochinu' is a slide that goes from the head to the tail. It was very colorful, and I was surprised to find things like umbrellas stuck in it when I got closer. From here, I boarded a ship and headed to Naoshima and Takamatsu.

Glamping at KUJIRA-JIMA, a private uninhabited island in the Seto Inland Sea. We had a great time enjoying BBQ, bonfires, and even a tent sauna. Please note that BBQ and bonfires create a stronger smoke smell than you might expect. In addition to glamping, the island itself offers accommodation in a style that suits your taste, such as cottages and tent camping. Why not enjoy a private beach with no one around? [KUJIRA-JIMA] Address: 1-11-1 Uno, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture Meeting place: 1-1-11 Chikko, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture Access: Take a boat from the meeting place to a nearby port in about 30 minutes, then take a shuttle boat to KUJIRA-JIMA #Domestic travel #Okayama #Okayama trip #Okayama sightseeing #Glamping #Kujira Island

The morning view at Restaurant FORQ is different from the night view. Before breakfast The meal coupon has an unusual design. The breakfast buffet is a menu exclusive to guests staying at the hotel. The main dish is Setouchi Lemon French Toast The side dishes are served as a buffet. Before entering the restaurant, we passed the bankside of the bicycle racing track. The view that was not visible at night spreads before us. The blinds were closed because the sun was shining inside the restaurant, but it had a refreshing atmosphere, or maybe it was just my imagination. What I felt this time was that I was in a place far from the image of a bicycle racing track that I had in mind. Check out the popular KEIRIN HOTEL10 As well as the hotel, you should also check out Restaurant FORQ! Breakfast on October 16th. #AutumnTrip #Buffet #GourmetTrip #Gourmet #BreakfastBuffet #PhotogenicHotel #Breakfast #Okayama #Setouchi #SetouchiSightseeing #AccommodationReport

FORQ is a restaurant adjacent to KEIRIN HOTEL10, with the velodrome bank right in front of you. The bank was not lit because it was not a velodrome day, so it is difficult to see in the photo. I ordered the FORQ SET for dinner. The main dishes were keema curry and fish and chips. You can see many dishes made with local ingredients from the Setouchi region. You can also order a la carte. The menu is rich, from hearty dishes to desserts, alcohol, and coffee. There was also an all-you-can-drink option for 1500 yen per hour. You can use a travel support coupon! It's a little different from what you might imagine a velodrome to be. So that's the atmosphere! #AutumnTrip #Accommodation #GourmetTrip #Gourmet #Hotel #Okayama #PhotogenicHotel #OkayamaHotel #SetoInlandSeaTourism #SetoInlandSea

The station building was designed by Italian painter Estelle Stocker as part of the JR Uno Minato Line Art Project. The Setouchi Triennale was also held there, so there were art exhibits around the station. Inside the station, you can find information about the festival and buy tickets, and you can also find the Tamano Tourist Information Center. Ferries to Naoshima also run from Uno Port, which is within sight, and there were tourists heading to the Setouchi Triennale. I visited on October 15th and 16th. #Okayama #Tamano #Setouchi Triennale #OkayamaTrip #OkayamaTourism #AutumnTrip #Uno

This is KEIRIN HOTEL 10, a hotel with an integrated bicycle racing track. The area around the hotel is quiet. I couldn't see the surroundings well at night, so I looked for a spot to take a walk early in the morning. At the front desk, a staff member told me, "Right now, the sunrise is beautiful at the Hinode Beach in front of the hotel!" So I headed to the beach. I thought, "In front of the hotel?" but when I passed through the hotel gate, I could see the ocean. There was a poster saying "Sunrise" on display in the hotel, but there were also artworks from the Setouchi Triennale on display, so I enjoyed a nice walk before breakfast. The bicycle racing track bank can be seen right in front of you from inside the hotel and the restaurant. There are seats in front of the hotel, so you can sit back and watch the athletes practice. The hotel is uniquely located and a little far from the nearest Uno Station, but even those who have never been to a bicycle race can enjoy the beach and art. #Autumn trip #Accommodation review #Hotel #Okayama #Okayama Hotel #Tamano #Seto Inland Sea #Seto Inland Sea tourism #Setouchi Triennale

You can stay in the hotel where keirin racers actually stay during their races. KEIRIN HOTEL 10 is located inside Tamano Keirin Stadium in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture. The interior of the rooms is designed with keirin in mind. The room keys are modeled after keirin racers. The room wear has numbers on it. The room shoes have the "Tamano Keirin" logo. The hangers are wheel-shaped. The hotel information screen on the TV also has a keirin design. You can also watch keirin-only programs. The interior has a stylish and unified look, and a stylish and cute atmosphere that is easy to accept even for those with no knowledge at all. I have never experienced keirin, but it feels like an exciting space that draws you into the world of keirin. Even the toilet paper holder 🧻 is barbell-shaped, which is unique! This hotel has an interesting attention to detail #hotel #fashionablehotel #designerhotel #Okayamahotel #Okayama #Tamano #Uno #bicycleracing #bicycleracingtrack #autumntrip #accommodationreview #photogenichotel
