Jogging in the fog !

by Kazu

The Port City Kushiro was covered with white fog like milk drifting in the air early in the morning on the second day of my business jaunt.

After exploring the gallery of the last coalmine under the ground and ocean   " Kushiro Coalmine", we had the famous and popular " sizzling spaghetti topped with pork cutlet" called " Spa Cuts" in Izumiya the winehouse.

The sauce was like typical meatsauce of the restaurant and the noodle at the bottom was crisp and tasty. 

 

Through the night !

This is the outlook of the Ramen Bar "Nadoya" in Kushiro City popular and famous with grilled conch and soysauce- based Ramen noodle soup. I was so satisfied with the dinner and after-party and went back to the hotel I stayed " Prince Hotel Kushiro" 

It had no large public hot spring spa but has wonderful view of beautiful sunrise or sunset depending on the direction of the room on the east or the west.

Unfortunately, it was also foggy the next day and the fog like milk enterd the ships in the Harbor.

I could not remember what I shot with my smartphone camera in that evening but something blue and interesting was  in the photo I took. 

This is te interiors of the r Bar " Kadoya" . I ordered the chef's signature grilled conch and Ramen noodle soup as usual and other customers. 

Surprisingly, my staff joined again in the bar and I treated him to the wrapping-up feast on that day.

 

After Party in Kushiro City!

by Kazu 

After the reunion with the former colleagues working in the branch office office Hokkaido Prefectural Government, I came up with the idea to wrap up the first day in Kushiro City with my favorite cuisine. 

I strolled around the Downtown and found the Ramen Bar " Kadoya" famous and popular with grilled conch called " Tsubu"  and soysauce-based Ramen noodle soup.

Precisely speaking, these conch are called " Aotsubu" in Hokkaido and we have another kind " Todai Tsubu" shaped like lighthouse on the cliff.

 

The Back Street in Kushiro Downtown !

The back street of Downtown in Kushiro City was very calm and very few people could be seen in the fog.

When I visited the City of fog and fishery with my wife before,  it was always fine and beautiful sunset entertained us so comfortably and kindly.

But the typical weather of fog created something mysterious and solemn like in the movie films on that day.

 

The Downtown in the Port City Kushiro !

It was still foggy when we ate out in Downtown of the city on that day. If we had straght consecutive 10 foggy days without seeing the blue sky and sunshine, we would have to address psychological depression, I think.

The Downtown of the city was still calm on the surface but I heard that so many inbound tourists visited the city and the needs of interpreters are increasing.

After jogging around the Hotel we stayed and bathing, I headed to the venue of the small party involving my staff and the branch officers.

 

Kushiro Harbor in the fog !

We arrived in the city of fog, fishery, marsh and coalmine. It is Kushiro City in the east area of Hokkaido Island. 

It was foggy day in Kushiro and jogging around the bay area of the city was not tough for me.The atmosphere was nothing less of the sacred area of the indigenous people in Hokkaido Ainu.

Some fleets were having rest in the bay and something like mysterious was drlfting around the area
