Exploring Kumamoto and Shimonoseki, Japan - Day 6 & 7 Ovation of the Seas
After our day exploring Nagasaki, our next port of call was Kumamoto which we organised a tour to see the sights. We found we were docked over an hour away and found a group tour was the most efficient way to see the top spots.
Booking with an outside company to the ship, we managed to get an excellent rate and a local guide and I was never in any doubt we wouldn't get back in time for the ship.
We saw Kumamoto castle which was affected by the earthquakes in the area 2 years ago but it was still incredible before going on to sample local delicacies and entertainment. Our final stop was Suizenji gardens which took over 80 years to landscape!
The following day saw a first for Royal Caribbean as they docked in Shimonoseki - home to the puffer fish - for the very first time.
We wandered round a fish market, saw a fantastic aquarium and climbed many steps to see over the harbour and take in a local shrine.
Our next 2 days are at sea so stay tuned for some fun rollerskating, rock climbing and more of the flowrider.
Music is not my own.

What You Should Know Before Going To Shimonoseki Kaikyokan
From KEIKO Conservation Japan.
This week for #FreedomFriday in collaboration with Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS) and Ceta Base we've decided to feature the Japanese dolphinarium #Shimonoseki Kaikyokan (#海響館). We're doing these features so that anyone who feels passionately about this issue (hopefully all of you ????) can familiarize yourself with the individual facilities, especially with the #Taiji killing season happening now.
You can visit our website to learn a bit more about this facility and a couple ways you can help, even if it's just from your phone or laptop. Go to opsociety.org to learn all about the global movement they created with the film The Cove or go to cetabase.org to dive in deep on the history and records of captive dolphins.
As always, feel free to repost and spread the word.

アウトバック・エアーズロック・ダーウィン・バリ島・シンガポール
荒野に一人でいる時と、渋谷に一人で居る時と、人はどちらが孤独でしょうか？
先日、渋谷の交差点に一人立ってみたのです。一月の晴れたある日でした。一度に数千人が渡ると言われているその世界的にも有名な交差点を行き交う人たちは、それぞれに誰かと一緒に歩いていたり、誰かに会いに行くところだったり、誰かと会った帰りだったり、会社や学校など自分が属しているところへ向かう途中だったり、自分が属しているところから帰るところだったりするのでしょう。晴れているとは言え寒い日だったので、白い息を吐き出しながら人は流れていきました。
ある程度以上の人間が集まると、一人一人は違うはずなのに、一つの群衆というまるで一つの生命体かのような動きをしは始めます。渋谷の交差点はその分かりやすい例の一つです。信号が変われば、信号を待っていた人たちはまるで一つの脳から同じ指令を受け取ったかのように一斉に歩き始めます。誰もそこに立ちすくんでいる僕の方には視線や注意を向けたりはしません。あるいは僕にしたって、他に立ちすくんでいる人がいたところで、気付きはしないかも知れないのです。
事件や緊急事態に遭遇した際に、周囲にいる人の数が多ければ多いほど、それは「他人事」、つまり「自分には関係のないこと」として認識されやすくなります。これを傍観者効果と言うらしいのですが、僕が渋谷の交差点で血を流して倒れていたら、わざわざ声をかけて助けてくれる人が何人いるでしょうか？ほとんどの人は足を止めたり振り返ったりすることなく、信号のペースに合わせて川の水のように駅の方へ、または駅の方から流されていくでしょう。街頭スピーカーからは流行りの音楽が流れ続け、大画面では今売れている芸人を起用した最新のコマーシャルが映し出され、血を流している僕に気が付いた所で、自分が助けなくても他の誰かがきっと助けるだろう、とほとんどの人は思うかも知れません。
一方、荒野に一人で立ってみると、周りの全てが自分に関係あることのように感じられる瞬間がありました。人だけでなく、動物たちや太陽や月や星や木々たち、そして岩や水までもが自分がここにいることを認識し、そして肯定してくれるような気にさえなりました。
オーストラリア放浪記の最終巻である三冊目には、コンビニがなくてはとても生きていけないような超都会型の東京生活を送っていた僕がポンコツ中古車を手に入れ、初めての車生活に戸惑いながらも、オーストラリアの荒野に一人で立ちつくし、荒野の動物たちに見守られながら小さな自分に小さな一を足し、ほんの少しずつ成長していった旅と、英語と、ギターと、仕事の記録が収められています。
オーストラリアでワーホリに出かけたことがある人も、これから出かけようかという人も、新婚旅行で行きたいと思っている方も、出張で行かなくてはならない方も、オーストラリアには微塵も興味なんてない方も、旅のお供として、食後の休憩として、トイレの目のやり場として、はたまた旅のガイドブックとして読んで頂けると嬉しい限りです。役に立つことはほとんど書いてありませんが、旅の道中僕が必死になって書き留めた八万文字のこの漢字仮名交じり文たちが紡ぎ出す世界の何か一つでも読んでくれる方の心に留まるのならば、そしてそのうちの何人かだけでも、他の「旅と英語とギターと仕事」のシリーズ作品を読んでくれるのならば、こんなに嬉しいことはありません。
ワーホリの人たちがファーム生活を送っているエアーという町からこの本は始まり、アウトバックを抜け、エアーズロックではあわや大事件の車のガソリン漏れを経験し、カカドゥー国立公園では２０００年前の壁画を見てほくそ笑み、エリマキトカゲとの偶然の遭遇を経て、ダーウィンへと北上し、インドネシア、シンガポールを経由して福岡へと戻り、税関では別室で大麻検査液付きの特別待遇を受け、長崎、下関、広島、岡山、大阪、神戸と経由して旅は幕を閉じます。
それでは南半球の荒野での生活の幕開けです。紫外線が強めなので、日焼け止めを塗ってからお読みくださいませ。読み放題でお読みの方は、読まなくてもいいので、ぜひ最後までページスクロールしてやってください。（笑）

旧官幣大社・山口県・赤間神宮 (Akama Shrine)
どうも、管理人のヒロリンです。
令和元年10月22日。日本で重要な儀式があったのを皆さん覚えていますでしょうか。
今上天皇陛下の即位を国の内外に示す即位礼正殿の儀があった日です。
今上陛下は第126代の天皇陛下で、史上2番目の高齢での即位となりました。
では、一番幼く即位した天皇は誰か？それは第79代天皇の六条天皇。何と生後7か月で天皇に即位します。その次は第81代天皇の安徳天皇、生後1歳4カ月での即位です。今だと考えられないぐらい幼い時に天皇になられているんですね。
史上二番目に幼く即位した安徳天皇はその後、日本史に残る重大な歴史的出来事である壇ノ浦の戦いによって史上最年少、僅か生後6歳4カ月で亡くなるという悲劇に遭います。
今日はそんな悲劇の天皇：安徳天皇を祀る、山口県下関市に鎮座する赤間神宮（あかまじんぐう）を紹介します。
戦前の近代社格制度では官幣大社に列格した名社。赤間神宮で祀られている安徳天皇は1178年に第80代天皇の高倉天皇と平清盛の娘・徳子との間に誕生。生後1歳4カ月で第81代天皇として即位しましたが、実権は祖父の平清盛が握っていました。
1183年に源義仲に追われる形で都落ちし、平家一門と西に向かいます。1185年、屋島の戦いに敗れてからは海上へ。そして壇ノ浦の戦いで繰り広げられた激戦の結果、平家は敗北。祖母である「二位の尼」（平時子）に抱かれて壇ノ浦の海に入水し、命を落とします。
最期を覚悟した二位の尼（平時子）に抱き上げられた安徳天皇は「尼よ、わたしをどこへ連れて行こうとするのか」と問いかけました。
二位の尼は涙をおさえて「貴方は前世の修行によって天子としてお生まれになられましたが、悪縁に引かれ、御運はもはや尽きてしまわれました。この世は辛く厭わしいところですから、極楽浄土という結構なところにお連れ申すのです」と言い聞かせます。天皇は小さな手を合わせ、二位の尼は「波の下にも都がございます」と慰め、安徳天皇を抱いたまま壇ノ浦の急流に身を投じました。
安徳天皇を祀る赤間神宮はこのようなエピソードから、壇ノ浦の戦場跡地のすぐ近くの位置に鎮座し、神門や社殿は海底にあるとされた竜宮城を模した「竜宮造」という全国的に見ても非常に独特な構造をしています。
Akama Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
It is dedicated to Antoku, a Japanese emperor who died as a child in the Battle of Dan-no-ura (aka Dannoura), which occurred nearby in 1185.
This battle was important in the history of Japan because it brought an end to Genpei War in which the Minamoto clan defeated the rival Taira clan, and ended the Taira bid for control of Japan.
The shrine is situated on the waterfront of the Kanmon Strait, between the centre of Shimonoseki and the tourist restaurants of Karato, Kanmon Wharf. The bright red main gate makes it a very visible sight.
The colours and style of the gate are inspired by Ryūgū-jō. Antoku's grandmother, Nii-no-Ama, who drowned with Antoku, wished for their palace to be created underwater as she jumped into the sea. Ryūgū-jō is a mythical underwater palace, belonging to the dragon god of the sea. Nii-no-Ama told Antoku, before jumping, that they would go to an underwater palace, without referring to Ryūgū-jō. Then, Antoku's mother (Kenreimon-In, aka Taira no Tokuko) had a dream, in which they were living in Ryūgū-jō.
In 1871, the Kanpei-sha identified the hierarchy of government-supported shrines most closely associated with the Imperial family.
The kampeisha were shrines venerated by the imperial family. This category encompasses those sanctuaries enshrining emperors, imperial family members, or meritorious retainers of the Imperial family. Up through 1940, the mid-range of ranked Imperial shrines or Kanpei-chūsha included the shrine; and it was then known as Akama-gū In 1940, Akama's status was changed Kanpei-taisha , which is the highest rank; and since then, it has been known as Akama jingū.

YAMAGUCHI CITY!!
I've been waiting to get to Yamaguchi since I booked my flight to Japan. The most exciting adventure for me in Japan is being in Yamaguchi city.
Why?
Because I was lucky enough to get invited to study how to make proper Japanese Ramen in a local Ramen shop in Yamaguchi city.
For those of you who just started following our channel
( if you haven't yet - Don't forget to subscribe!)
My obsession is Ramen. Ever since I tasted a real Japanese ramen, I was hooked.
I'm determined to learn how to make a proper Japanese ramen.
So since I came back from my previous trip to Japan on February 2017 -
I've been reading, studying and practicing the art of making ramen but I knew that I had to go and see how they really do it in Japan.
So as I said before - I was lucky enough, and a dear friend of mine helped me fulfill this dream.
This video shows the first day of my stay in Yamaguchi city.
Thanks to my local friends - it was such an amazing day, full of beautiful sightseeing and GREAT!!! Food and drinks.
Yamaguchi is a small city ( compared to other Japanese cities ) located in a valley surrounded by mountains, with a small population of around 200,000 people. Yamaguchi area has a lot of natural hot spring water baths, also known as onsen:
- An onsen (温泉) is a Japanese hot spring; the term also extends to cover the bathing facilities and traditional inns frequently situated around a spring.
There are Even public small Feet-Onsens (Hashiyu) all over the cities that you can use if you want to give your feet a little hot-spring-water relaxation ( be careful, the water is very hot ! ).
On my first day, I meet with some of my local friends here ( Brain and Yoshimi, I love you guys! ). We drove around the town for a bit and went to see a local famous Buddhist temple, Rurikō-ji (瑠璃光寺 Rurikō-ji), with its five-story pagoda. During this whole time, Yoshimi, which speaks perfect English, decided that I should practice my Japanese, so she spoke only Japanese with me. It was hard, but fun and very helpful!
After a short stop at a feet-onsen, we went to eat and get some beer and food from 2 different local Izakayas. An izakaya (居酒屋) is a type of informal Japanese pub. They are casual places for after-work drinking and usually has a variety of Japanese Dishes that serves to the middle of the table and shared by the table.
Food is usually ordered slowly over several courses rather than all at once. The kitchen will serve the food when it is ready rather than in the formal courses of Western restaurants.
It was so much fun! Here is what we got to eat:
- Takowasa: raw octopus heavily flavored with wasabi
- Hakata style Gyoza
- Yaki Nasu: Japanese Grilled Eggplant
- Gyoza soup
- Fried rice
- Daikon to Konnyaku no Nimono: A common izakaya side dish
- Sashimi plate
- Namagaki: raw oyster with lemon
- Deep fried Fugu ( Blow-fish - Yamaguchi's specialty )
- Corn kakiage fritters: Japanese fresh corn tempura
- Beef Tataki: tataki refers to beef or fish that is quickly seared over high heat, leaving the center very rare.
- Korokke: deep-fried potato croquette.
It was an amazing day, in a beautiful place, great people and very delicious food!
