氷川丸は博物館船として公開されているが、今回は外からみるだけで済ませた。


[At Yamashita Park, 山下公園にて、야마시타 공원에서]

山下公園は港が見える丘公園に続いており、時間があれば格好の散歩コースだが、今回は人形の家博物館から中華街に向かった。

141223 Welcome Marta and BJ to Japan The 5th Day: From Izuyama to Ofuna via Odawara (Yoroizuka Farmヨロイヅカファーム요로이즈카 농장/Suzuhiro鈴廣스즈히로)

Sightseeing Place: Yoroizuka Farm(Ichiya-jo)/Suzuhiro(鈴廣)

Event: Caroling by SNCC at Ofuna Station, West Exit大船駅西口でのキャロリング) & Kaiten-zushi (回転寿司)

Sightseeing Date: December 23 (Tus.) 2016, Fine

Sightseeing Place: Odawara (Yoroizuka Farm/Ichiyajo and Suzuhiro Shop),

Guests: Marta (Ukrainian) & BJ (Korean)

Guides: George & Kikko (Driver)

Course:　Hotel in Izuyama – Yoroizuka Farm/Ichiya-jo – Suzuhiro Kamaboko Shop

My wife reserved a “Family Bath” at the Hotel. It is an open air hot spring bath on the room.

[Open-air spa on the roof、海が見える露天風呂、바다가 보이는 노천탕]

You can get nice views of the sea of Izu (a part of the Pacific Ocean) from the hot spring.

She originally reserved the bath for BJ and Marta, but Marta was not for it, so I took the bath with BJ in stead of her.

We could get fine views of the ocean indeed. We saw a fisherman’s boat in the sea and beyond that, we could see Hatsushima Island and the Tanzawa Mountains from the bath tub.

[Open-air spa on the roof、海が見える露天風呂、바다가 보이는 노천탕]

After taking morning hot-spring bath, we had breakfast at the hotel dining-room.

[Hotel breakfast、ホテルの朝食、호텔의 아침 식사]

It was a buff-style breakfast in the combination of Japanese and Western dishes. I had a typical Japanese set (rice, natto, grilled sermon, miso-soup) and some western dishes such as spaghetti, bread, etc.

[Hotel breakfast、ホテルの朝食、호텔의 아침 식사]

Again, we have to be careful, not to eat too much. We should always eat slowly, and chewing everything well, and try to eat a lot of vegetable. But it is always difficult to put into practice.

We checked out the hotel at 9:45 and were heading for Ofuna. On our way home, we visited “Yoroizuka Farm” near the remains of Ichiya-jo.

Ichiya-jo was built by Hideyoshi army when they attached Odawara-jo in late 16th century. They built that “instant” castle when they surrounded Odawara-jo.

“Ichiya” means one night. In reality, it took several days, but they built it secretly behind the trees. When the completed, they cleared the trees, so it looked to appear so suddenly for the eyes of defense soldiers in Odawara-jo.

The Ichiyajo was a kind of fortress, but the remains showed quite a good size, and there is a restaurant named “Yoroizuka Farm” nearby.

"Yoroi" means "armors" and "Zuka" means "tomb". Since it was a fortress during the war period, there were many armors left after the war. That is the etymology I guess.

On the way to the restaurant, we stopped in the middle of “mikan”or mandarin orange orchard. There was a local farmer, selling “mikan” and some vegitables for the visitors.

[Buying "mikan" oranges, ミカンを購入、귤을 샀다.]

We stopped at the open-air shop and bought some "mikan" oranges for ourselves.

[A farmer selling white turnip, 露店のカブ、노점의 순무]

The location of the farm is very good. It is on the hill so visitors can enjoy good views of the Sea of Izu, and they put several animal monuments which were popular among kids.

[At Yoroizuka Farm,ヨロイヅカファームにて、요로이즈카 농장에서]

A small ladybird beetle flew and stopped on Marta’s finger. It was so tiny and cute and Marta was really pleased to have it.

[A small ladybird beetle,小さなテントウムシ、작은 무당 벌레]

The owner of the restaurant operates an organic farming. They use the products from their farm for the ingredient for the dishes, and their bakery is also very successful.

[Lunch at Yoroizuka Firm, ヨロイヅカファームにて昼食、요로이즈카 농장에서 점심]

The restaurant is always crowded. We bought cakes, soups, and some beverage and enjoyed them on the table outside.

[Lunch at Yoroizuka Firm, ヨロイヅカファームにて昼食、요로이즈카 농장에서 점심]

After having “light” lunch, we headed back to Ofuna. On the way back to Ofuna, we dropped in “Suzuhiro(鈴廣)” which is famous for producing “Kamaboko(蒲鉾)”

Kamaboko

[Roasting "Kamaboko" machine, 蒲鉾焼き機、일본식 어묵 구이 기계]

“Suehiro” was founded during “Edo Period” and very famous for selling “Kamaboko”. We dropped in its headquarters, and my wife bought “high quality” gifts for her relatives in Yamagata Prefecture.

[At Suzuhiro Headquarters,「鈴廣」本店内にて、"스즈히로"본점에서]

It is a Japanese tradition that kids visit their parents home during the New Year holidays. So he usually visits her mother who is over 90s now.

So while she was doing shoppings, our guests enjoyed sightseeing in the shop. Finally after the shopping at “Suzuhiro,” we went back to Ofuna.

We arrived at their hotel at 14:10, thus my wife’s mission was over. Their trip to Izu was over.

[We came back to Ofuna, 大船のホテルに到着、오오후나 호텔에 도착]

[Event in Ofuna]

The Shonan Nozomi Christ Church (SNCC) organizes choirs of Hand bell and vocal choirs during the Christmas season and they utilize for missionary events.

[Preparing for the performance,ハンドベル演奏準備中、핸드벨 연주 준비 중]

The perform Christmas carols in front of Ofuna Station (West Exit where our church locates.) While they are performing caroling, other members pass out our church leaflets with Christmas story and the pastor made short speeches to passers-by.

[Preparing for the performance, 駅前宣教の準備中、역앞 선교의 준비중]

Most of none-believers just passed by, but my guests stayed with me for about 30 minutes.

[Caroling at Station Exit,大船駅西口にてキャロリング、오오후나 역 서쪽 출구에서 캐로링]

I noticed that some passers-by did stay with us. They could be believers, or non-believers, but they were encouraging to the members of SNCC.

After listening to SNCC choirs of Bell Music and vocal choirs, we headed for sushi shop to round up their trip to Japan.

There are several good sushi restaurants in Ofuna. My wife recommended “Hougyo (豊魚)” which locates on the second floor above a fishery market in Nakadori Street.

[At Sushi Shop in Ofuna, 大船の寿司屋にて、오오후나의 초밥 집에서]

We went early, yet some people were already waiting for its open. We took nice seats around the counter and we could order whatever we like to the sushi master directly.

Since we had “light” lunch at Yokozuka Form, we had good appetite. Besides, the shushi there were very delicious.

[At Sushi Shop in Ofuna, 大船の寿司屋にて、오오후나의 초밥 집에서]

We had many plates of sushi to round up this trip to Izu. After the dinner, I left them for being themselves, and I headed for SNCC to join the Christmas Party at the church.

ここは予約制で、家族風呂でもある。もともとはBJとマルタのためにと思って予約したものだが、マルタは遠慮したので、私が替わってBJと入った。

[Open-air spa on the roof、海が見える露天風呂、바다가 보이는 노천탕]

ここは伊豆山の中腹で、ここから見る伊豆の海は格別である。

沖を行く船は漁船だろうか。また、遠く初島や丹沢山塊も見える。

ホテルの朝食は8:30からで、我々は少し遅れて大食堂へ行った。

[Hotel breakfast、ホテルの朝食、호텔의 아침 식사]

夕食と同じビュッフェスタイルだがメニューはもちろん朝食用である。

和食も洋食も供され、どちらでも両方でもお腹の要求通りに選択できるが、ここでも食べすぎに注意しなければいけない。

[Hotel breakfast、ホテルの朝食、호텔의 아침 식사]

妻と私は納豆、焼き鮭、豆腐、味噌汁など和食を中心にいただいたが、洋食にも手が出てしまった。

食べすぎないようにするには野菜を多くすることと、よくかんでゆっくり食べることである。

ホテルは9:45にチェックアウト。帰路は秀吉が小田原を攻めた時に山の上に速成で築城した一夜城跡に立地する「ヨロイヅカファーム」に立ち寄った。

ここは伊豆の海が展望できる丘の上に立地し、周囲はみかん畑である。

ヨロイヅカファームに到着する前に、みかん畑の所有者らしいおばさんが、みかんと野菜(カブやダイコンなど)を販売していた。

["Daikon" radish, 露天のダイコン、노점의 무]

妻とマルタはみかんを試食したうえで、それぞれ一袋づつ購入した。

[Buying "mikan" oranges, ミカンを購入、귤을 샀다.]

ヨロイヅカファームは個人経営で公園ではないが、訪問客が楽しめるようにモニュメントもおいてあり、なによりも伊豆の海の展望が良い。

この日は快晴で、どこからか飛んできた小さなテントウムシがマルタの指にとまった。

[A small ladybird beetle,小さなテントウムシ、작은 무당 벌레]

ヨロイヅカファームにはレストランがあり、有機農業で生産した野菜を提供している。

[Shopping at Yoroizuka Farm, ヨロイヅカファームの売店にて、요로이즈카 농장 매점에서]

また何よりもおいしいパンとケーキが人気で、レストランは予約制になっている。

我々が訪問した時も予約がいっぱいで、レストランでの食事はあきらめ、ケーキとスープと野菜サラダを注文し、テイクアウトして外のテーブルで食べることにした。

[Shortcakes at Yoroizuka, ヨロイヅカファームのショートケーキ、요로이즈카 농장 케익]

実際、朝食がヘビーだった分、昼はお茶とお菓子で良いわけだ。我々は、ヨロイヅカファームを12時前に後にして、小田原市内に向かった。

小田原は海が近く、海産物の販売が盛んである。特に、サメなどの魚肉を使ったかまぼこやちくわが有名で、特に有名な生産及び直販の店を構えている「鈴廣」に立ち寄った。

[The decoration for New Year's Day, 正月用の飾り、일본의 설날 용 장식]

ここも年末という時節柄、新年に食する伝統食としてのかまぼこなどを買い求める客が大勢いた。

[At Suzuhiro Headquarters,「鈴廣」本店内にて、"스즈히로"본점에서]

妻も恒例の山形の実家への土産物にする高級セットを購入した。

その間でも店内の見物はけっこう見どころがある。かまぼこやちくわの製造過程を観光客が見えるようにしてある設備がその１つだ。

鈴廣で買い物と見学を終えた我々は一路大船へと急いだ。ホテル到着は午後2時10分。妻はここで客人たちとは別れ、あとは私が引き受けた。

[We came back to Ofuna, 大船のホテルに到着、오오후나 호텔에 도착]

SNCCによる大船西口駅前のキャロリング、伝道活動

まずは私の所属するSNCCのイベントで大船駅前でのキャロリングである。

[Preparing for the performance, 駅前宣教の準備中、역앞 선교의 준비중]

SNCCではクリスマスの時期に駅前でキャロリングとトラフと配布をすることが恒例行事になっている。

[Preparing for the performance, 駅前宣教の準備中、역앞 선교의 준비중]

このためのハンドベルと聖歌隊の練習は半年以上もまえから計画し練習している。

[Hand bell performance at the exit, 大船駅西口にてハンドベル演奏、오오후나 역 서쪽 출구에서 핸드벨 연주]

また、牧師も道行く人々に短いメッセージを伝える。年間最大の伝道イベントである。

多くの人々は通り過ぎて行くが、なかには立ち止まって聞いてくれる人もいる。

マルタとBJも私に付き合って約30分間、立ち止まって聞いてくれた。

この後、大船の回転寿司屋「豊魚」へ向かった。

[At Sushi Shop in Ofuna, 大船の寿司屋にて、오오후나의 초밥 집에서]

回転寿司ではあるか、寿司職人に直接注文することもできる。

我々はお昼を軽くしたこともあり、大いに食べた。

[At Sushi Shop in Ofuna, 大船の寿司屋にて、오오후나의 초밥 집에서]

夕食後、私は教会のクリスマスパーティに出席したため、彼らとは寿司屋で別れた。

[At SNCC, 湘南のぞみキリスト教会にて、쇼난 노조미 그리스도 교회에서]

私は二人と別れたのち、湘南のぞみキリスト教会のクリスマス会に出席した。5日間におよぶ観光案内であったが、最後の夜は二人きりで過ごしてもらい、私は牧師先生のクリスマスメッセージを聴いて、教会の仲間と過ごした。
