When traveling by car in the 1980s, unexpected road conditions must be considered.
Fortunately, no matter what age you are in, as long as you have money, there are few things that you can't handle.
One early morning in mid-June, I drove out of Tokyo.
...
After driving for less than an hour, we arrived at Kamakura. At this time, the famous scene of "Slam Dunk" that later generations are competing to check in has not yet appeared. Naoki Nagayama mainly visited the famous Kamakura Buddha of Kotokuin and Enkakuji Temple.
, I visited famous Buddhist temples such as Mingyue-in Temple and Kenchoji Temple.
If there is no faith bonus, just looking at the scenery, it is actually just like that. At most, there are some Buddha statues with a sense of age.
After passing Kamakura, we finally saw the scenery of a long coastline.
While listening to the brisk music on the car stereo and admiring the beautiful scenery along the coast, Naoki Nagayama felt like he was in a comic book world.
The bright sunshine, the cool sea breeze, the relaxing music, and the boundless blue sky and blue sea make this city dweller who is trapped in the steel forest all day feel happy.
If it weren't for the little shame I felt, I would have burst into song.
The time spent immersed in the beautiful scenery is naturally very fast. Without stepping on the brakes, more than an hour of coastal scenery seems to have just passed by in a flash.
Nagayama Naoki came to Hakone at noon and also went to see Lake Ashi, but he did not see the famous "jade fan hanging upside down in the East China Sea and the sky". Mount Fuji in summer, how can I say, there is no snow top...
.
It looks no different from an ordinary mountain.
Next, Atami, the famous hot spring, is not the time to enjoy it during the day when the weather is gradually rising, but it is not bad to simply eat kaiseki cuisine.
After passing Atami, we entered the Higashi-Izu Peninsula. At this time, "The Dancing Girl of Izu" starring Yamaguchi Momoe suddenly came to mind, and Naoki Nagayama even had the idea of looking for a traveling busking team.
As expected, my predecessor was a huge fan of Momoe Yamaguchi.
Under this impulse, Nagayama Naoki went to find the old Amagi Tunnel and took photos to remember his past youth.
Of course, the famous Kawazu Nanataki was not missed. The seven large and small waterfalls all left the shadow of Nagayama Naoki.
After some souvenirs, 2 hours passed quietly.
Taking a closer look, I saw that the afternoon was already halfway over.
Nagayama Naoki hurriedly continued driving, thinking of returning to his hometown today.
When he passed by Inatori before, Nagayama Naoki bought some Inatori specialty red fish. It was said to be extremely fresh and tender, and he planned to give it to his family to try.
Shimoda at the southern end of Izu is where the male and female protagonists of Izu Dancers part ways. Naturally, Naoki Nagayama would not miss this memorable scene and took photos as much as he wanted.
The southernmost Shilangqi looks even more beautiful in the afternoon sun.
After passing Matsuzaki Town, it seems that Shizuoka's hometown can be seen across the sea.
As the red glow gradually rises in the evening, the coastal scenery gradually becomes psychedelic, as if it is wearing an unreal coat.
Finally before sunset, Naoki Nagayama returned to his hometown in Shizuoka.
...
Houses in small places rarely have parking garages, but there are many parking spaces.
Nagayama Naoki parked his sports car on the side road next to the door. He had called home before and told him that he would be back today.
After carrying the water tank containing the red fish and some specialty gifts, I opened the door and entered the entrance hall.
"I'm back!"
Mother Nanako was very happy to see Nagayama Naoki back: "Naoki, welcome home."
Then he hurriedly walked out of the living room and took the things in his hands.
"Naoki, what did you bring? It seems so heavy?"
"This is Inatori's red fish. I heard it is very famous, so I brought some back to try." Naoki Nagayama turned around and looked around, and found that his mother was the only one at home.
"Are father and eldest brother still in the store? Tsuruko hasn't come back either?"
Nagayama Nanako walked into the kitchen with the water tank and seemed to have planned to check the quality.
Only one sentence came: "The store is getting busier as summer approaches. As for Tsuruko, it seems to be a club activity."
"Oh? You joined the club~ It's great."
Nagayama Naoki used to be relatively dull and always went back to the community.
"It seems to be some kind of Kaidan Research Society or something." The voice in the kitchen was not clear, but my mother seemed to be very satisfied with the red fish.
After chatting for a while, it was almost past 5 o'clock, and Nanako Nagayama, a housewife, started to work in the kitchen.
Thanks to the fish Naoki Nagayama brought, today’s dinner will be richer.
Naoki Nagayama went back to his room upstairs to rest, sorting out some of the souvenirs he had brought back, and dividing the gifts for his family.
...
"Ogasan, there is a super luxurious sports car parked next to our house!" Hearing Hezi's energetic voice downstairs,
"Hey, do you want to eat fish today?"
Nagayama Naoki came down carrying several gifts: "Tsuruko, I'm back!"
"Ah, gift!" Tsuruko's eyes directly saw the gift in Nagayama Naoki's hand, "What is it? What is it?"
"You actually didn't even call out Onii-chan?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless.
Watching Tsuruko excitedly take the gift bag and start to open the gift~
"Hi, welcome home, Onii-chan~" he said a few words without any sincerity, and then he was immersed in the great work of opening gifts.
"Hoo~~ It's actually a Sony Walkman! It's still red~" This Walkman was only released the year before last. It is still a new thing in RB, and even fewer people in small towns own it.
"Onii-chan Arigado!"
With this gift, Tsuruko didn't even bother to help in the kitchen. He immediately ran upstairs and started looking for suitable tapes to try.
The silk scarves I bought for my mother, the tea leaves and handmade fish floats I bought for my father and eldest brother were conveniently placed in the living room.
After dinner was ready, Nagayama Naoki went upstairs and called Tsuruko out of the earphones. The little girl was completely addicted to the new Walkman.
There were only three people at the dinner table. During this period, my father and eldest brother always ate at the izakaya, which was open at night after all.
It was estimated that it would be around 10 o'clock when they got home, and then they would go to the izakaya at around 10 o'clock the next morning to prepare for the opening at noon. It can be said that they earned all their hard-earned money.
Inatori's red fish is really tender and delicious, and people are full of praise: "Today's fish is very delicious, where did Gasang buy it?"
"Naoki brought it back~"
"This is Inatori's red fish. It is said to be a specialty found only in Inatori Port."
"Is there still such a theory?" Tsuruko didn't believe it. "In this case, my Kaidan Research Club will have a new topic."
"What the hell is the Ghost Story Research Society?" Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but admire the high school students' imagination, "Does it study ghost stories?"
"Ghosts are just one direction, there are also rooms that eat people, woods where gods are hidden... We study all the weird things that really exist in the world and try to solve the puzzles.
Just like this kind of red fish, how can it be found only in Inatori Port? There must be an ulterior secret!"
Nagayama Nanako immediately interrupted: "Don't talk about these nonsense things while eating!"
People of her age are still taboo about some strange things.
"Hi~"x2
Then the two of them silently increased their chewing speed.
