Honestly, I was happy with there weren’t many bugs. Yesterday’s Memories Climbing Mount Chōkai from the Akita Prefecture side From the Hokodate Mountain Lodge at the 5th Station, I headed to the hot springs to relax my body and mind. Whoa Oh my god It’s beautiful, isn’t it? After that, I’ll head to the campground in Ōgata Village.

It’s gotten dark again. About a 2-hour drive to the campground Let’s do my best! A review of this journey Day 7 of the Trip: Niigata – Yamagata – Akita I stayed at a hotel only once; the rest of the time I stayed at a mountain lodge. After that, it’s all free campground stays. It’s extremely economical at the moment. what? Something was there. I was planning to go to Aomori Prefecture, but after seeing the statue last night, I was curious… To the Oga Peninsula TKT Adventures Solo Camping & Ride Trip korin Honda super cub 50 ride First, I am heading toward Oga to uncover the mystery statue’s true identity. Minami no Ike Park Campground Oga Total Information Center I’ll go to Aomori Prefecture later. Yesterday marked exactly one week since I left Niigata. Oh, there it is. The mysterious statue I saw last night was a standing statue of Namahage. Damn, that’s huge! Oga Total Information Center Here on the Oga Peninsula in Akita Prefecture, the Namahage admonish people’s lazy hearts, It is known as a traditional event for warding off misfortune. There was a restaurant. But I’m starving. Itoku Oga Shopping Center WOW There is a rest area inside the store where you can enjoy complimentary tea from the tea dispenser. Free Wi-Fi available, plus free charging This supermarket is a huge plus for riders and road trippers who can also dispose of trash here. As a mountain climber, I always buy bananas. It’s easy to carry and eat on the go, so I highly recommend it. The main seaweed rice box (¥398) and banana cost between ¥200 and ¥300. Let’s eat. Itadakimasu Delicious Thank you very much. It was delicious. By the way, you can charge here. With our stomachs full, I decided to circle the Oga Peninsula on my cub san. Itoku Oga Shopping Center Namahage Museum Oi-Hanasaki Tunnel Namahage Bridge Namahage Direct Sales!? That piques my interest. Namahage Museum Is there any difference between the blue one and, um, the other one? Some headwear fits snugly over your head, while others are meant to be held in your hands. Ah, so I can hold it in your hand. Do the different colors have any meaning? well Jiji Namahage and baba Namahage. Grandpa, Grandma Oh, Grandpa and Grandma So then, If people are a guy, they would be pick this color? Rather than men All Namahage are male, so oh I see so May I ask you to take a picture for me? Namahage of Oga Attachment Grandparents’ Experience I did Namahage Museum is More interesting than I imagined You’ve got quite funny face. There are an incredible number of masks with different facial expressions, making it well worth seeing. Incredible You can actually experience the Namahage ritual in another building. Tickets can be purchased at the reception desk (adults: ¥1,100, elementary/junior high/high school students: ¥600). hi This is the ticket for starting at two o’clock one ok sure Please take off your shoes before entering. I kinda like ➌, so I’ll go with number ③. Oh, okay sure Is it just sit here? oh please come in ohhhh I see Please take off your shoes before entering. Please have a seat facing this way on the tatami room in front. Okay, thank you!
I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of experiences I can have. Ouch, ouch, ouch! Good evening, everyone!
Good evening! Thank you very much for visiting the Shinzan Tradition Museum today. The Namahage reenactment that will be performed is the traditional year-end ritual here in the Shinzan district. We will hold it on New Year’s Eve starting in the evening. This is a reenactment of the Namahage ritual. Therefore, greetings as well Good evening, so to speak I am currently doing so. Earlier, with the photos and stuff, you know? Move freely Feel free to take pictures wherever you like. Photography permitted (tripods and flash photography prohibited) Please come up! Wow! Wooooooooooh! Is there a crying child out there? Please have a seat and take a rest. Alright, time for a break. Wooooooooo Happy new year Once a year When I come down from the mountains to the village The number of lazy people is increasing. Also If a nasty disease spreads, it’ll be trouble, so make sure to thoroughly clean it up. Oh, hey old man Yes This is some pretty darn good sake, huh? I thought I’d have Namahage-san drink it. Sake made from Akita Komachi rice No wonder it tasted so good. Kids were just playing there a little while ago, though. Are maybe they studying in their rooms? Hmm… Or is it hiding there? what? Everywhere I look for kids I can’t find them anywhere. Really? About your son and his wife Namahage, I did my research on them. So they do,, when evening comes with the people in the neighborhood and Every night they go to sing karaoke in the late night That’s why they just can’t get up in the morning. Namahage-san Namahage-san This year, seriously, so just keep it closed this book in all year round. Please take your time enjoying drinks until the end of this year. man, you really are pushing us too hard to drink sake. Please drink plenty. You’re not trying to fool the Namahage with sake, are you? Oh no, not at all! Oh, this ain’t no time for drinking. Wooooooooo Is everyone doing their part? Are you doing it right? Whoa! It’s okay. I’ll be careful. What is this place? A karaoke bar? Karaoke LAMO Ah, Namahage-san Until next year comes I’ll fix the bad parts for you. Please forgive me this year with this rice cake. I’m taking it! Hey you! Hey, old man, you gave us mochi to gloss over ignored problems this year again. No, please, just this year, somehow… I’ll come down from the mountains anytime. closed it, quick! Very interesting This is the Namahage of the Shinzan district. The Namahage make loud noises and walk noisily. Because it is said to be for driving away the evil spirits that have haunted that house for a year. Thank you for today. Please come and experience the full scope of the recreation (approximately 15 minutes) for yourself. I had a valuable and precious experience. Thank you Having finished touring the building, I decided to walk to Shinzan Shrine. Oh man, my feet really hurt. The damage from Mt. Chokai is still felt in my feet. Hello On top of that, you see Shinsan Shrine Fortune Telling Paper (¥200) Tonight’s treat Here too is a fortune slip. Ah, Namahage Oh there’s actually a Namahage fortune slip Leaving the Namahage Museum behind, I head toward Nyudo-zaki (the westernmost point of the peninsula). There’s apparently a rock shaped like a famous movie character, and that’s my final destination for today. Still, it’s perfect weather for riding. Cape nyudo Godzilla Rock Oga Peninsula cape nyudo From here, I’ll head south and circle the peninsula, but it’s quite a distance. It’s said to take about 2 to 3 hours even if you drive nonstop by a car. The sunset will be soon again. Akagami Shrine Gosha Hall The 999 stone steps leading to Gosha-do Hall There is a legend that it was built by demons in a single night, It is deeply connected to the legend of the Namahage. Godzilla Rock The Oga Peninsula tour is complete. It’s dark already again, but… I’ve returned to Minami no Ike Park Campground. Akita-produced (sake) Akita Komachi, maybe?(Namahage-san were drinking this?) It’s dark, isn’t it? It’s always like this. today is peaceful as allways. Thank you for watching!
