yesterday、In the afternoon, I went to the Watarase Balloon Festival, which is currently being held at Watarase Fusui Facility in Tochigi Prefecture.。About an hour by car。Driving along the edge of Watarase, which I hadn't been out for a while。I used to go to places quite frequently、The spacious scenery felt nostalgic。
Apparently it's a race for one of Japan's best balloonists (that's apparently those who ride balloons).。but、The wind is strong、Morning races are cancelled。When I arrive at the site、The cancellation of the afternoon race has also been announced.。Nothing to do until "Balloon Illusion" until 6pm。In the cold、I just stare at the wide sky and the dead grass。But、That alone is good enough。
The balloon race appears to be sponsored by Honda (Hot Air Balloon Honda Grand Prix)、There was also a car exhibition at the venue.。Because there's nothing else to do、I didn't want to buy it, but I spent some time looking inside the car (I couldn't buy it).。There are also three light cars、Of this, electric cars cost over 3.5 million yen.。It's amazing that everything except the driver's seat can be made flat (it doesn't require a rod).。Can be used as a fully bed-equipped interview vehicle、When I said that, "A Honda 125cc bike fits perfectly in this space."。There are also fixing brackets。As expected of Honda、The idea of riding a motorcycle can only be said to be "like."。There's also a stall open、The delicious smell of kebab。They also sell sweet potato shochu.、Apparently there was a tasting, but I drove home too.。
It's getting dark、Did you hear that fireworks will be held as planned?、The number of cars is increasing。I wonder if most of the many large parking lots are full。It's getting cold、Most people are holding their smartphones intently to take pictures。Surprisingly there were a lot of people with children。
Today (15th)、There were also five races scheduled for the early morning (Sunday).、How was it。The weather forecast for Fujioka-cho, Tochigi city, was sunny.、Wind speed is 5 meters、I think it was possible to hold the event safely。It was cold but、I'm glad I was able to refresh my mood。
