I went to Sado with my pregnant wife in July. Although 38 years have already passed, I feel nostalgic today and would like to comment.At first glance, it looked like a store in front of the current building. At that time, the Sado loop road was not open, so I took a bus from Ryotsu and the final stop was Futikame, but the bus could not enter the last tunnel, which had a low, hand-carved ceiling, so I got off before the last tunnel. The owner, who was in his mid-50s, came to pick me up in a light truck, so we went through a narrow tunnel and stayed on top of a cliff. , I was really worried because my pregnant wife couldn't see her feet clearly. After about 10 minutes of walking down the stairs, I was finally taken to the old inn, which was a normal private house.The first floor was a hall, about 25 tatami mats long, with a bathroom on the right side and a toilet next to it, and there were two or three rooms on the second floor. I made a reservation for accommodation at the tourist information center as soon as I arrived in Ryotsu, and a nice man was kind enough to wait for me at the bus stop. At night, I looked out the window at the sea facing north, and saw several squid fishing boats, and the sky was full of stars.I had only seen starry skies at planetariums before, so it was very moving, and I was so moved by the fact that I was so moved by my futon. It was a night that was 10 times more enjoyable than the planetarium, as I watched the Milky Way late into the night and saw a shooting star fall every 4 to 5 seconds. July is known as Tanabata, and it was great that there were many shooting stars in the Milky Way.At that time, there were no mini-hotels on the cliffs, so it was pitch black at night.Futikame says that in those days, when the tide was low, you could walk from the guest house and walk along the two islands.There was a typhoon a week before us, and some of the sand had been washed away.An old man lent me a stick to catch octopuses, and while I was wearing rain boots, I went along the coast where octopuses are usually caught, and there was no trace of the typhoon.My current wife lives in the UK, but on the way home, my son dropped me off at Cedric to Ryotsu.My son really likes cars, and it was a quiet diesel engine car. I believe it was my son who was around 30 years old.This was probably the first time that foreigners stayed at Futakame-so.On my way home, I took a road along the coast, and back then there were 4 or 5 houses along the coast, but now they are gone, which is a shame. The roads met at Moura.A few years ago, while taking the Shinkansen to Tokyo, I happened to talk to a person who was traveling with two people, and he told me that he had stayed at a hotel built on top of two turtles, and I was wondering how they would be treated at a new hotel. I don't know, but the Futakameso where we stayed was modest, but the star-filled sky and the beautiful view of the seaside made me feel confident that it had a beauty that couldn't be experienced at a hotel. . If you've made the effort to come to Sado Island, I think it will be more enjoyable to stay at a guesthouse if you can and enjoy the quality of the place rather than staying at a hotel.By the way, I grew up in downtown Tokyo, and my wife is an excellent person who graduated from Cambridge. Today, my daughter is 37 years old and works with dozens of researchers at a genetic research institute in Scotland, where she lives with her two grandchildren. I am 71 years old and have a reputation as a very healthy Japanese person at the gym. I've been to Sado many times for work, but I'm really disappointed that fewer people are traveling to Sado.It is a convenient island where you can arrive at Ryotsu while dozing off in the sitting room of the Sado Kisen.You can get there in a little over an hour on a jet foil, but it's better to take the boat trip straight.
