The beautiful coastline is sinking into the rain again

Yesterday I woke up in the Ryokan in Amanohashidate in sunshine...

The futons are very thin. — The futons are already very thin. The walls are very thin as well.

The view from the room

The house is ideally located in a park on the shore.

First there was another lovingly prepared Japanese breakfast, which is always available at the Ryokan:

first on the top right the miso soup, on the top left fresh tofu, on the bottom right 'tsukemono' pickled vegetables and in the middle a kind of rolled omelette. and then the grilled fish

I'm proud that I can now wrap the rice in a seaweed leaf and put it in my mouth using chopsticks only.

Next is the 'Tango-Bähnli' (Tango is the name of the peninsula where I am right now)

The fast blue one is not my train. No, it's the little yellow one that just arrived..

Delicious!

Smart move, right? That was in the next train.

I changed trains 3 times that day. Luckily, there was always an elevator! Otherwise, I would have missed my connection with my heavy suitcase.

It was my beautiful coastal ride with a local train, but unfortunately the weather kept getting worse....

many tunnels, forests, great bays, small villages

lovingly landscaped gardens with persimmon tree

into the mountains...

soon you could hardly see anything anymore...

but suddenly it looked like a beach.... just without the sun!

During my longer stopover in Tottori, the place with the giant dunes, luckily the sun was shining again.

The dune sand was quite damp. But the dunes were mega impressive.

as a size comparison, you can see people climbing a dune here.

Later, on the continuation of the journey, we had to wait longer at a train station until the track was cleared again.... the spontaneous announcements were of course all in Japanese. I was at the train station and didn't understand a thing!

After about half an hour, we continued at a fairly fast pace and with a lot of rattling into the night. It was a bit spooky!

Finally, I arrived in Matsue. Finally, in the train station buffet, I got the long-awaited spaghetti marinara. They tasted authentic and good! Properly al dente cooked!
