Chapter 777 Fireworks Festival
Facts have proved that sweets can indeed make people happy. After licking the sweet and sour mango ice cream, even Yukinoshita Yukino, who had just suffered mental torture from Hojo Kyosuke, showed a lovely smile.
Everyone quickly gathered together, carrying large bags of desserts and snacks. The one that Hojo Kyosuke liked most was a snack called butter potato sticks. You know, even if the potatoes were simply boiled, cut crosswise in the middle, put in butter, and baked in the oven for a few minutes, they would be very delicious.
"Potatoes and butter are really invincible ingredients."
Cooking master Hojo Kyosuke sighed sincerely that butter can instantly create miracles no matter what dish it is added to, and potatoes are even more amazing, they are something that can conquer the world.
Now everyone has boarded the bus and is happily eating on the way to Atami Castle.
"Atami Castle" is the most famous attraction in Atami besides hot springs and beaches, and it is a must-visit place.
However, Hojo Kyosuke had seen pictures of it online and it was far inferior to Osaka Castle and the like. Atami Castle was at most an arrow tower level.
However, if you go out for fun, how can you say you have been there if you don't visit the representative places of the place, so Hojo Kyosuke just followed the recommended strategy honestly.
There will be more places to visit in Ito tomorrow, such as the Shirosaki Coast and Mount Omuro, which are all magnificent. Mitsuha is very interested in the mountain that looks very similar to Mount Ryujin, but was not formed by a meteorite but by a volcano. Yotsuha is also very interested in investigating whether there is a priest family like the Miyamizu family hidden in Ito City. Maybe she can become a priestess before Mount Fuji erupts.
Away from Tokyo's public transportation system, it's no longer that convenient. Without the subway, you can only take the bus to go anywhere, which is also a different kind of dream back to the Showa era. Driving is much more convenient. There is a highway along the coastline in Atami, and the scenery along the way is very good. As long as you drive slowly, it will be a complete sightseeing trip.
We soon arrived at Atami Castle. This ancient castle building is quite beautiful. Although it is a little small in size, it is high enough to provide a good sightseeing experience. The ticket fee is not expensive, only 1,800 yen for adults. Eriri missed the opportunity to buy elementary school tickets because she has grown well in recent years. The ticket seller told everyone that there are free game machines inside.
Hojo Kyosuke was puzzled. Why would an ancient architectural attraction use game consoles to attract people? Was it because he knew that charging so much for a dead building was a rip-off? Or did he pack the game consoles from a bankrupt arcade?
Atami Castle has a five-story castle tower and nine floors inside. Unlike Osaka Castle, this castle did not actually exist in history, but was built during the period of rapid economic growth in Japan. Well, it is a man-made attraction used to increase the fun of tourism. This kind of thing is not uncommon all over the world. The rich will build wonders crazily, and the poor will create some weird ghost events to scare people. There is always one that suits you.
Since there is no historical background, the castle looks like a joke. Although it is located on the top of the mountain, there are no walls or gates on the road. The bus can drive directly to the entrance of the castle. This made Eriri, who had been looking forward to it all the way, almost curse. It didn't feel like playing a game at all!
There are very few parking spaces, and it is absolutely impossible to occupy them during the Golden Week, so after getting off the car, Hojo Kyosuke and others asked the driver to find a place to park. It should be emphasized that the driver does not provide services for free, and the corresponding fees will be settled when checking out, but the fees are not more expensive than hiring a professional driver outside.
It's so corrupt. As long as you arrive at Sakuraba-sou... no, as long as you can pay, the female general will not find it troublesome to pick you up at home. You can leave all the travel matters to the female general, and you will definitely have a great travel experience.
As soon as you enter the gate of Atami Castle, you will see a small museum. It is called a museum, but anyone who has been out there can understand that it is just a random collection of things for you to take pictures of. Even enthusiasts will not feel very happy when they come here, because these things are by no means rare.
What caught my eye were the Kamen Rider suits, no, they were the armors of the Momoyama and Edo periods. The "Rokujukansujiku" helmets. Many of them had bright red beetle horns, which were not very impressive, but very interesting. Even a 1.4-meter-tall ancient Japanese man could grow to 1.6 meters tall immediately after putting on the armor, and immediately become a demon on the battlefield.
Armor, samurai swords, ukiyo-e, sedan chairs used by daimyo, dolls, miniature buildings...
As expected, Ukiyo-e is also yellow, which is really frank and unabashed in its use of color in a sense.
Hojo Kyosuke was casually taking pictures with his camera. He was not interested in taking pictures of fake antiques, but was taking pictures of the girls. They went up the stairs and soon reached the sixth floor. This was an observation deck, and they could see the Sunshine Beach where they had played before. It was really nice to climb up and look far into the distance, and the whole bay was in full view.
Someone's genetic instinct kicked in and he almost yelled, but his remaining shame stopped him. However, he urged Glass to try to yell, saying something like yelling at the sea would throw away all the troubles.
"... Kyousuke-kun, that's something you can only do when you're standing on a mountain top."
Glass smiled awkwardly, then said lovingly:
"But you can yell and I'll cover your face."
"Forget it then. I don't mind personally, but I'm afraid of embarrassing you."
Someone just has to give up.
What is even more shocking is that there are two long footbaths on the observation deck. Atami City is afraid that others don’t know that it is a hot spring city.
Sitting on a castle more than 100 meters above sea level, you can soak your feet while gazing at the boundless sea.
Such temptation allowed Hojo Kyosuke to suppress his cleanliness a little. There were quite a lot of people, and if they sat in a row they could occupy both footbaths.
Miyamizu Toshiki grabbed someone's arm and tried to imprison him next to him. But how could he be as strong as Hojo Kyousuke? In a few seconds, he was subdued and stuffed between Hojo Ichiro and the imperial envoy, making him sit down obediently.
"Wow, it's so comfortable. As expected, you have to soak your feet when you go out to play. It would be even better if it has a massage function."
Hojo Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief. On his left sat Naoko, and on his right sat Sakura.
Looking down, I saw a pair of big feet in the clear hot spring water. The right one was being stepped on by Sakura, and the left one had a little toe being secretly pressed by Nozomi.
Hearing this, Glass carefully moved closer to Hojo Kyosuke and whispered:
"If Kyousuke-kun wants, I can help you later when we get back to the hotel. It may not be very professional, but I will try my best!"
The warm voice rushed into Hojo Kyosuke's ears, making him feel itchy. He almost blurted out "In exchange, I will also help you wipe your back," but fortunately, Sakura's little foot on his right foot reminded him.
"Forget it. Glass should be very tired too."
As he spoke with one thing in mind, he sighed inwardly, feeling guilty for having let down Glass's kindness.
The foot bath is free, and there is a vending machine selling disposable towels next to it. The price of 100 yen seems cheap, but Hojo Kyosuke calculated that it is actually very profitable.
There were a lot of tourists, and no one soaked in the water for a long time. They just experienced it for a while and then wiped their feet and put on their shoes.
"Why don't you learn from Tokyo Tower and Skytree? It would be much better to soak your feet there!"
Ying Lili muttered softly, this guy was very reluctant to leave, probably because he felt that it was great to be up high and look far into the distance, as if he had the world at his feet.
Hearing this, Sayaka felt that Eriri was indeed a genius and very creative. She had just been to Tokyo Tower yesterday, but she had never thought that she could play like this. Kyoko Takimoto smiled softly, thinking that it was no wonder that this child had such a good relationship with Sakura.
Hojo Kyosuke thought for a moment, then turned his head and whispered to Eriri:
"When we get back to Tokyo, we can take our stool and footbath tub to Tokyo Tower."
Eriri was instantly surprised and said, "Really?!"
A pair of sapphire-like eyes are amazingly bright.
"Really, as long as you are not afraid of being laughed at." Hojo Kyosuke nodded.
"..."
Eriri, who had a lot of idol baggage and whose character was much higher than someone else's, was silent for a moment, and said with a pout:
"Can't you just tell those guys who laugh at me to close their eyes?"
Chatting and laughing all the way, everyone arrived at the basement floor of the castle, which was the location of the game room that the ticket seller told them.
Although they didn't say it, the girls actually wanted to come and play. Luckily, they had the little brat Jia Shizi in the team who could serve as an excuse, so the older sisters "kindly" brought their younger sisters to play.
Eriri was bragging to Kashiko and Sayaka all the way, showing off how good her gaming skills were.
But when they arrived at the entrance of the game hall, everyone stopped immediately. There were too many people, and there were long queues behind each item.
"Let's go."
Eriri said expressionlessly.
After visiting Atami Castle, everyone continued to check out the major attractions in Atami, and finally came to a cafe to have dinner while waiting for the fireworks display in the evening.
Well, in late April and May, Atami has a fireworks festival. This place holds fireworks festivals all year round, and there are more than 20 festivals a year at most. It can be said that Atami is very considerate of tourists. Just based on this point, Atami is a qualified tourist hotspot. It is really shameless and everything is based on money.
The fireworks festival is held from 8:20 to 8:40 p.m., which is not a small event in terms of time, only one hour shorter than the Sumida River Fireworks Festival in Tokyo. But there are more than 10 to 20 fireworks a year, and even if you can come and watch whenever you have time, why would you need a bicycle?
After dinner, it was still early, so everyone wandered around and bought some yukatas.
Wearing a yukata to a fireworks festival is basically a matter of opinion. When it was still bright, Hojo Kyosuke had already seen many girls in yukata strolling around the streets.
The tapping sound of wooden clogs continued to ring out, the exquisite handbags on the wrists kept swinging back and forth, and the cheerful conversations intertwined...
Hojo Kyosuke stood at the entrance of the kimono shop, with Sakura and Mitsuha choosing yukatas in front of him and the noisy voices of the crowd in his ears. For a moment, he felt that he was completely separated from the world, as if everything had disappeared, leaving only him and his girls. It was not until he heard the voice of "Onii-chan" that he suddenly woke up.
It was Prince Ka who called him, and the little girl had already chosen a yukata for him.
He wanted to say that he had no plans to wear a yukata, but seeing the expectation on his sister's round face, he smiled and whispered yes.
When I walked into the kimono shop, the middle-aged proprietress was also wearing a yukata and had a very nice attitude, probably because she was meeting a big customer.
Although Yukata is the simplest kimono, it is expensive, and most people would choose to rent it. However, the wealthy Nyoriya Tour Group would of course choose to buy brand new ones, and would not embarrass anyone at all, because the generous mother Hojo Mikiko chose to pay for it.
The two Nishinomiya and Hojo mothers huddled together, laughing happily. Hojo Kyosuke vaguely heard Aunt Nishinomiya say, "Is it really okay to wear such bright clothes? I'm so old already", and then there was the voice of his own mother trying to deceive him.
Well, Hojo Kyosuke, who knew his mother's character very well, knew that as long as Aunt Nishimiya wore bright and beautiful clothes, wouldn't it be natural for his mother to wear a more bright and gorgeous yukata? This is the little trick of the stupid beauty.
Reaching out and picking up the yukata handed to him by his sister, Hojo Kyosuke was suddenly stunned after unfolding it and seeing the pattern.
Ok?
He looked at Miyamizu Mitsuha and saw the girl giving a smug smile.
haha~
With a slight smile, he pulled open his yukata and held it in front of him to gesture.
It was a blue yukata, specifically "Tsukusa blue". To be more specific, it was the color of the yukata that Mitsuha wore when the comet fell in Itomori, except there was no four-leaf clover pattern.
Hojo Kyosuke had only seen Mitsuha like that in his fantasies.
The witch waved her little hands. She was holding a white yukata with a plum blossom pattern on it.
What a pity, there are no women's yukatas with four-leaf clover patterns here.
Hojo Kyosuke shook his head and said, "My stupid sister is being fooled by all the older sisters all day long."
It seems that you haven't realized that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Hojo Kyosuke overturned it himself.
That guy wouldn't lie.
He looked at Eriri, the idiot was holding a yukata in each hand, brows furrowed in confusion, and next to her were Yukino and Okudera who were forced to make suggestions.
After a long time of trouble, everyone finally chose the yukata, and the next wave of customers immediately poured into the store.
Look, look, this is the economic growth brought by twenty fireworks festivals a year.
Those walking on the streets are not tourists, but parents!
Sorry, sorry, I haven’t finished writing it. I will change it immediately! !
