Holy Land Tour - Tanegashima

Johann 2022-03-27 09:01:12

In 10 years, I wrote a film review of Second 5. Now it seems that the writing is very poor, because I like Second 5 very much, especially the second chapter Cosmic Man. In December 2016, I went to Tanegashima to do a holy land tour, although it was a short time. It took me two days, but I have completely different experiences for this work and myself. I used to think that there were too many pictures and it was very troublesome, so I will move it today (

write first

The level of travel experience is not about how good the scenery is, but about the people and things you meet, and more about how strong you want to get there. The call of that place to your heart is the root of all experiences.

Anyone who travels to Tanegashima from mainland China, as long as they have searched for related strategies on the Internet, must have read the travel notes written by Brother Yaheng from Guangzhou in Mafengwo. For basic travel strategies, please refer to what he wrote: http://www. mafengwo.cn/i/1379914.html I will make some additions to the parts that have changed when I went there

1. The official website of the high-speed ferry: https://www.tykousoku.jp/ You can book tickets in advance, so as not to encounter the situation that you can't buy tickets during holidays, you need a Japanese credit card to book. If you don't have it, I found it on Taobao after placing the order. Pay on your behalf, charge a handling fee, and then you will receive an email. After arriving in Japan , you can exchange the ticket by showing the email at the ticket office of the high-speed ferry. ticket, no trouble.

The frequency and time of high-speed boats vary in different seasons, and the timetable is subject to the official website.

2. The only way of public transportation on the island is the bus. Domestic driver's licenses cannot be rented in Japan . When you arrive at Tanegashima, it is Nishinomote port, located in Nishinomote City, at the northernmost point of the island. Accommodation hotels, as well as most of the Holy Land Tour scenes are located in Nakatane Town.

The schedule of the bus also changes with the season. Google Google search in Japan , and you can find the latest timetable. The bus stop on the island will also have the latest timetable. There are few people and cars on the island, and the car will not. It's late, and once you miss it, you won't be able to sit, so be sure to look at the timetable to plan your itinerary.

3. There are two bicycles in the hotel recommended by Brother Yaheng. Although they are both broken, they are inseparable from the Holy Land tour. When you arrive at the hotel, you must first confirm the condition of the bicycles with the owner's old aunt. Almost no one can speak English. I don't know Japanese either, it all depends on translation software and gestures... Anyway, I can communicate by heart~

Departure - Tanegashima

Time: 2016.12.25 -2016.12.26 Christmas in Tanegashima

The next night, I deliberately found the pier for the high-speed boat, so that I could not find it the next day. Kagoshima is a small city. I lived near the Planetarium in the commercial street. I looked at the map and it was less than 2 kilometers away. , I felt it was more troublesome to wait for the bus, so I chose to get up early to pack my luggage and walk to the pier.

The early bird catches the worm, and you can see Sakurajima in the distance. I arrived in Kagoshima the afternoon before, and it was already late when I got on the boat on Sakurajima. Kagoshima is still a city closely related to the modernization of Japan . Xianyan Garden, where Atsuhime grew up, is worth seeing. There are also many memorial sites for reformers in the city. There are many related travel notes, so I won’t go into details. I have the impression that the development of Japan's Zero fighter during World War II, including pilot training, was also in Kagoshima, but there is no relevant commemoration.

The boat is actually quite old, but it's clean, no one sits, and there's a cell phone signal most of the time.

Some of the scenery on the boat, the sea of Japan can never get tired of seeing, just like the last trip to Kansai , I brought my beloved Shiraishi-kun, does it feel like there are elementary school students returning home from vacation? It was just sunrise when we just left the port.

Arrival - Nishinovote Port

After getting off the ship, I hurried to the bus point.... Only to find that the frequency of the winter has been reduced again. The bus to the center of the universe is only available at 12:30, but it is only 9:05 now. I can only walk around the port and travel. There are always surprises, but there may be surprises.

Tanegashima is the place where muskets were introduced to Japan. The arquebusier soldier seems to be the mascot of Tanegashima. The toilet in the port uses this image to identify men and women. The cute places in Japan are really cute everywhere.

The small sculpture outside the port, the symbolic place, the arquebusier soldier seems to be the mascot of Tanegashima, and the toilet in the port uses this image to identify men and women. Cute places are really cute everywhere.

In a small shop outside the port, I actually bought a postcard... But the aunt of the shop owner was very enthusiastic when she saw that I was a foreigner. With its own wrapping paper, "Iron Cannon Came" is really good enough.

One of my favorite postcards, rockets, the universe, rising into the sky with tail flames and fog, friends who like these things will definitely understand where the poking point is. I also sent this postcard to someone who wanted to convey my thoughts, although I don't know if I could receive it (Tan Shou)

A glimpse of the port, really clean

In another small shop, around Dinosaurs... There are so many cute things, I can't buy anything without emptying my wallet and not enough boxes....

Google Maps saw a statue of Toshiyao Tanegashima not far away. Among the stars in the Warring States period, he was not too famous, but he brought the musket to Japan and successfully made it. I prefer his image in Xinmiao~

It was very tiring to walk uphill all the way. There is also a musket museum under the statue. I wanted to come and just visit it... As a result, I happened to meet the only rest day of the month...

The cats and cats on the island are so clean.... and very close to humans, they are not afraid at all.

The Mingyue Cafeteria that Brother Yaheng ate at, the prices on the island are relatively lower than those in the city, and the taste is very good. There are two elderly people in the restaurant. After finding out that we can’t speak Japanese, they greeted each other and said that they were from Shanghai. They all felt that very rare...

Some posters in the port, the universe center is the biggest tourist selling point of Tanegashima. Compared with the usual empty space, the island is full of people every time a rocket is launched. In addition to the speed of five centimeters per second, this is also another animation "Robot Notes". . I also bought this 2017 calendar at the Cosmos Center and every page is a rocket.... super satisfying.

The drink developed by students of Tanegashima University is a little expensive. I bought a bottle and tasted good. I feel that the seeds of this food have been in space as a selling point.

Forcibly pose for a photo.... The bus is finally coming

Departure - Cosmic Center

An unmanned bus.... There is almost no one on the way, driving from north to south along the coastline to the center of the universe in Minamitaneo Town. Unlike the sea of ​​tourists, the sea of ​​Tanegashima is the kind of tranquility and peace. The beauty of it, as if time stopped here, the kind of beauty abandoned by the metropolis.

"Is Tono going to go to university?" "Going to Tokyo university" "Tokyo... so" "I guess you will go to Tokyo university" "Why" "Because it looks like you want to go far away..."

Arrival - Center of the Universe

Finally arrived.... After looking at the timetable, there is only one bus that can take me back to Nakatane Town.

At this time, I have to sigh where I have not met in my life. Brother Yaheng has pulled all the people who have contacted him on the Tanegashima trip to a WeChat group. I arrived at Tanegashima on 12.25. Brother Haya in the group was in the seed two days ago. Island, the center of the universe is the last stop of his tour route. He has to wait for the bus back to Nishinomomo Port at more than 2 o'clock, and then the Shinkansen back to Fukuoka in the evening. We met in between the two buses.

Two people who may not know each other in China, actually met at a bus stop in Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan in a foreign country... Hobby is really a wonderful thing, it will guide us from far away place to meet.

The center of the universe in Minamitane-cho is really a beautiful place. One side is the apex of the human technology tree, and the other side is the blue and boundless sea. The shock of this contrast is too strong, and the photos taken by mobile phones can't be compared.

The museum at the Cosmos Center not only displays the history of Japanese rocket launches, but also introduces the world's rocket launch sites, Japan 's aerospace technology display, and various limited goods in the store.

The rest of the time is spent browsing the outside of the center of the universe, the two launch sites are far away, just climb up and look down.

The closest place to the sky in Japan is not a particularly empty day when the rocket is launched, and the blue sea in the distance is enchanting. Many people should be obsessed with spacecraft, and the exploration of the universe is definitely the best stage for human wisdom and courage. Von Brown and Korolev, Project Mercury-Gemini-Apollo-Space Shuttle-Space Station, when gravitational waves were certified, NASA said it was a string from a distant universe. I haven't watched "Cosmic Brothers", except "Five Centimeters Per Second", standing here, I also think of "Starry Sky Cleaner", "In the willful and indifferent universe, there is no border."

Arrival - Nakatane Town

Take the bus to Nakatane-cho.

After a brief exchange of strokes, I came to room 205 where Makoto Shinkai lived.

When I opened the window and looked out, I could barely hold back the tears at the feeling of dream and reality meeting.

Really, at this moment, I felt like I came to the world in the animation, Tanegashima where Takashi Tono and Hanae Sumida lived in real life.

In the room, there are graphic guides made by the Japanese brother who came here. They are positive and negative. It is a pity that Japanese cannot understand the truth. It feels a lot less fun, but this sincerity and emotion can cross countries and languages.

Put away my luggage and go to i-shop Shitang by bike. I don’t know if it’s because of Christmas. The burger shop recommended in Brother Yaheng’s guide was not open, so I found a small shop nearby that was open, and it was still inside. It's all uncles, and I was greeted by various greetings after saying that I came from Shanghai.... I came to a tempura set meal, and I have never understood the combination of udon and rice....

The TV is making fun of Trump..

When I stopped the bike.... I was moved to almost cry again, as if Hana Miao and Guizhi had just left from here, everything was so lifelike, Xin Haicheng's scene attachment was terrible.

The shopkeeper printed some small cards for those who came to visit the Holy Land as a souvenir, although it was very simple. There are also scenes from the animation posted on the wall.

Chinese, Japanese, Korean, English, good-looking or not good-looking writing, simple doodles or large-scale brush and ink, casually took a dozen pages, and when I finished reading these two messages, the store was about to close....

Thank you Brother Yaheng for his saying "There may be many trips in life, but not many adventures." I came to Tanegashima. In my travel experience, this is definitely a very difficult journey. There are only two buses a day from north to south, there are no street lights after nightfall, and almost no one can communicate in English. It all depends on strokes. I flipped through the message book with trembling hands and knew why the "Sacred Land Parade" was so touching, even if I never met, even if I didn't speak the language, even if the nationality and background were very different, at this moment, I met countless people who were moved and encouraged by this animation. people. Riding the little broken car of the innkeeper's wife, the night sky and the stars above her head are dazzling, Hua Miao walks behind Guizhi nervously, the rocket in the distance soars into the sky, flying into the distant depths of the universe, the people who are close at hand walk silently, Write text messages without recipients. The gushing affection and the unrequited love, thank you Brother Cheng, thank you for every encounter in your life.

Back in the room, there are two original novels in Japanese and Chinese on the shelf, which should have been brought by friends who came here before, but the more climax is the message book in the room... Compared with the hurry in the small shop Sign in, here is probably the most obscure story in my heart, the reason that guides you to come to this small room across thousands of mountains and rivers.

I have been struggling for a long time whether to put it on the Internet.... If the owner of the diary sees it and thinks it is inappropriate, please leave a message and tell me, I will delete it immediately, but now I still want to pass on what I feel to the more people.

Some people are here to escape from the past, some people are here to find themselves, and for me, it's good enough to meet you.

Interesting souls will eventually meet, and those who have the courage to come here, such energetic guys, must be very powerful! ! !

Please, you must live bravely! ! ! please be happy! ! !

goodbye! Tanegashima!

I wanted to get up early and go to Zhongshan Coast to watch the sunrise. The scene of Huamiao standing on the top of the waves must be of great significance to every friend who came to Tanegashima because of the chapter [Astronaut]. Unfortunately, the bus will leave before sunrise. Come, I can only steal a picture of Brother Haya as a souvenir. I'm a little regretful, but I feel that the significance of this trip is not in how many scenes that appear in the animation, but in meeting people who have also been here. Seeing those messages from across languages, countries, and time, and thinking of Takashi Tono and Hanae Chengtian under the lens of Makoto Shinkai, who lived on this remote island famous for its aerospace, I feel that everything is enough.

Tanegashima is the first stop of my Kyushu itinerary, followed by Tanegashima-Yakushima-Kagoshima-Kumamoto-Beppu-Fukuoka-Nagasaki, the journey across Kyushu , after all, it is not easy for working dogs to go abroad. It's easy to see more scenic spots, but in the nearly 10-day trip, Tanegashima is my favorite place, and I have already started to miss the kind of love that I have not left.

This is also the first time I have done a "Holy Land Tour". I think the fun of the Holy Land Tour is not how many scenes in the animation I have been to and how high a degree of restoration has been achieved, but the closeness to the scenes of my dreams, as long as you come At this point, it is enough to feel the mood of the creator. The greater pleasure is to meet those who have also been touched by the work, even if it is only through words.

Thank you again, Brother Yaheng, and every soul you meet here.

Coincidentally, in a WeChat group that we rarely chat with, because it was the first time that two Chinese people were having a little fun on Tanegao Island. Brother Yaheng even announced to us a major choice in life, hahaha, we must work hard what.

I hope everyone has a girlfriend www

5 Centimeters per Second quotes

  • Takaki Toono: It must really be a lonelier journey than anyone could imagine. Cutting through absolute darkness, encountering nothing but the occasional hydrogen atom. Flying blindly into the abyss, believing therein lie the answers to the mysteries of the universe.

  • Akari ShinoharaTakaki Toono: *Akari and Takaki kiss for the first time*

    Takaki Toono: And right then it felt like I finally understood where everything was, eternity, the heart , the soul. It was like I was sharing every experience I'd ever had in my past 13 years. And then, the next moment, I became unbearably sad. I didn't know what to do with these feeling. Her warmth, her soul. How was I supposed to treat them? That, I did not know. Then right then, I clearly understood that we would never be together. Our lives not yet fully realized, the vast expanse of time. They lay before us and there was nothing we could do. But then, all my worries, all my doubt, started melting away. All that was left were Akari's soft lips on mine.
