stay in Internet cafe

I arrived at Ueno Station 22:11PM, August 19.
Because the last train is gone, I have to look for hotel.

In the end, I stay at internet café in Kanda.
That is because internet café is very reasonable. I paid about 1300yen in a night.
And I took a shower. The shower room was very dirty.

I read several comic books. I read “Gantz” , “Moyashimonn”.
I couldn’t sleep soundly.
That is because the seat is uncomfortable and clacks of a keyboard and laugh annoy me.

I checked out about 7:30AM, August 20.

Higashino Keigo

While I was on the train, I often read books.
There is nothing to do when I got bored with looking at the mountainscape.
I read “seijo no kyuusai” (聖女の救済) written by Higashino Keigo(東野圭吾).
I like to read his books. When for the first time I read his book, I was thirteen years old.
My farther recommend “Himitsu(秘密)” written by Higashino Keigo.
This is very interesting book for me.
From that time I read his most of books.
And I arrived at Ueno Station 22:11PM, August 19.

Vincent van Gogh 8

I am going to write about my favorite artists and my favorite works.
My one of the favorite artists is “Vincent van Gogh”. He is very famous painter.
He is a typical painter of the post impressionist school. Van Gogh spent his early adulthood working for a firm of art dealers and traveled between the Hague, London, and Paris.
The most comprehensive primary source for the understanding of Van Gogh as a major artist is the collection of letters which were passed between him and his younger brother.
Their lifelong friendship, and most of what is known of Van Gogh's thoughts and theories of art, is recorded in the hundreds of letters they exchanged from August 1872 until 1890.
Most were written by Vincent to Theo beginning in the summer of 1872.
His work grew brighter in color and he developed the unique and highly recognizable style which became fully realized during his stay in Arles in 1888.
His masterpieces were made in late life.
Though he is received high acclaim now, the picture that sold while he is living is only one(Red grape field 赤い葡萄畑).

He is very impressive artists for me.
That is because when I was fifteen years old, I went to art museum with my family.
The art museum has the van Gogh exhibition. I saw “sunflowers(ひまわり)“、”The Café Terrace on the place du Forum, Arles, at Night(夜のカフェテラス)、“The starry night(星月夜)” and so on there. These paintings move me deeply.
Especially ”The Café Terrace on the place du Forum, Arles, at Night(夜のカフェテラス) move me. I think you have seen this picture. I like this picture a lot. This picture is wonder. When I was fifteen years old, I often thought that I want to travel to the city like painted in ”The Café Terrace on the place du Forum, Arles, at Night(夜のカフェテラス).
Even now when I see the painting, I have an urge to travel. I want to go that city before graduation. After I enjoy the van Gogh exhibition, I bought the notebook painted ”The Café Terrace on the place du Forum, Arles, at Night(夜のカフェテラス).

Osamu Tezuka

This time I will introduce about comic books.
Especially I want to introduce Osamu Tezuka. I like his comic books.
I often read “Black Jack” “Hinotori” “Mitsume ga touru” when I was a child.
He is a manga artist, animator and medical doctor.
He established the technique of the comic books in Japan and the base of the expression of the cartoon of Japan.
He is best known as the creator of Astro Boy. Recently Astro Boy is made into 3DCG film by Hollywood.
He is often credited as the father of anime.
And He is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney.
I think he is so great.

Hachinohe to Ichinoseki


While I was heading for Hachinohe 、
I saw scenery and slept.
The advertisement in the train was
peculiar to Aomori and it was interesting.

I arrived at Hachinohe Station at 8:16AM, Augast 19.
Next I transferred to Morioka Station at 8:52AM.

The train that went to Morioka was “Aoimori Tetsudou” not JR.
So I couldn’t be able to use “The Seishun Juhachi Kippu”, I had to buy the ticket for Morioka.

I arrived at Morioka Station at 10:54AM. Morioka Station was quite big.
And I transferred to Ichinoseki Station at 11:06AM.
I was looking at the mountainscape for a long time.

Aomori to Hachinohe

I arrived at Aomori Station at 5:40AM, August 19.
And then I got on a train for Hachinohe Station at 6:10 AM.
While I waiting for the train, I ate calorie mate for breakfast.
Because there were few minutes, I was not able to see the sights in Aomori.
Surprisingly though it is early in the morning,there were students, families and travelers like me.
Though it was a little chilly, it was a pleasant climate for me.
I headed for Hachinohe. It took two hours to go to Hachinohe.

Night Train


I got on a train (Hamanasu) to go to Aomori at 22 o’clock on August 18.

This train arrived at Aomori 5:39 on 19.
This was my first night train,so I got excited!
Hamanasu was blue and not crowded.

I could use two seats. But the seats was hard to sleep for me, so I was very tired.

While I got on the train, I saw night view and ship’s light on the sea.
It was very beautiful. Most of passengers were sleeping at 1 o’clock. But I was not able to sleep and the sky is turning bright.

Preparation for travel

I had prepared for the travel before I set out my travel.
First I went to Sapporo Station to buy The Seishun Juhachi Kippu.

We can buy The Seishun Juhachi Kippu Ticket at Reservation Offices (Midori-no-Madoguchi).
And then I bought a ticket of Hamanasu.Hamanasu is a night train from Sapporo to Aomori.
That is because I want to save money to stay. But I had to pay 5000yen・・・.

Second I decided how to go to Nagoya by trains. I went to Nagoya as I said last week.
I think preparation is important and thinking about a travel is interesting. See you next time.

Travel By Trains



Hello, my name is Yuki Kiya.
In this blog,I will write about my travel which I have done during the summer vacation.

I went to Nagoya (my hometown) from Sapporo by trains and then I used “The Seishun Juhachi Kippu”.

“The Seishun Juhachi Kippu” is a seasonally available railway ticket, which gives you five days of nationwide travel on local and rapid JR trains for 11500Yen,2300 Yen per day. It is very reasonable!

Sapporo→Aomori→Hachinohe→Morioka→Ichinoseki→Sendai→Fukushima→Kuroiso→Utunomiya→Ueno→Tokyo→Atami→Shizuoka→Hamamatsu→Toyohashi→Nagoya

I transferred like this. Because I couldn’t make use of limited express,I had to transfer 15times.

From next time,I will write about the travel in detail. See you.
