I had my alarm clock set at 5 o'clock, but I woke up earlier than that. It seemed to have rained a lot last night, but this morning it's raining and the air is refreshing.
Immediately get ready and leave with plenty of time to catch the 6:20 AM ferry.
The hotel is in the middle of a residential area, so it's pretty discouraging to start the 911 engine early in the morning. Get in the car, set the navigation system, fasten the seat belt, and set the engine ready to start.
'TheGwon! !! BoboboAs soon as I heard the roaring sound, 911 left Seiyo city to escape.
It really feels good to drive 911 before dawn. There is little traffic and every road becomes a fast track. I arrived at the ferry terminal at Yawatahama while opening the roof and enjoying the fresh morning air.
Immediately buy a ticket at the counter.The second-class guest room on the Yawatahama-Beppu route, 911 is less than 5m, so it costs 13,960 yen.It was said that internet discounts can be used, but it seems that credit card payment is useless.
Board the ferry with 911. On any ferry, Porsche is relieved because the staff will watch you not to rub the front lip more than necessary.
Get off the car and go up inside the ship.It takes about 2 hours and 50 minutes. Even though I only go from Shikoku to Kyushu, it's quite long, longer than the Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka.Unfortunately, the guest rooms are very crowded in Golden Week, and they are packed so I can't get close to them.
I took a seat on the sofa in the lobby and spent time watching the view from the window of the ship and the view from the observation deck.
Arrived at Beppu Port at 9:00 AM. Returning to 911, it's finally the beginning of my trip to Kyushu.
First, go through the hot spring town of Beppu and head toward Yufuin. Drive on K11 and drive fast on the Yamanami Highway while looking at the magnificent Yufuin on your right. The scenery around here is really good and the road is the best. Unfortunately, there is always a lot of traffic.
While taking a break at the Sagiridai parking lot on the way, head south toward Aso. Unfortunately, there is a lot of traffic here as well, so I can't run at my own pace. I gave up halfway and stopped at some parking spaces. I went south to R442 repeatedly by letting the slow car go first and then running.
Turn right on R442 and head north on Farm Road.Farm Road is a fast track with very little traffic and is one of my favorite roads around here. Always in sports mode, run 911 with a high revs. Along the way, I trace the route I used to come to Boxster, with a break near the farm.
I was surprised for a moment whether it was written as "wata" by wata! I wonder if it has finally become a wata official road (laughs)
I want to have lunch somewhere, but there is no store. When I looked it up, there was a facility called Rosehill Amagase, so I stopped by for the time being.
There is also a rose garden, and it is a very beautiful park facility. There was a pizza mobile sales car with many people lined up in it, so I tried to buy pizza there, but the line did not advance at all.
Time passes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. It's impossible anymore. I can't stand the fact that I hate lining up more than anything else.
."At the very least, if you just ask for an order, you won't miss the customer, but it's a waste.I left this place thinking.
Today's final destination is Ikitsuki Island. Therefore, we have to cross Kyushu sideways. It's not fun to just use the highway, so choose the lower path as much as possible.Head south on the west bank of Lake Honeycomb and continue west on R442.I thought I could finally have lunch at the roadside station, Taio Kanayama, but the restaurant was very crowded here as well. It is impossible to wait by all means, so this is also through.
It was close to 25 ℃ on that day, and I turned on the seat ventilation.
I don't care about hunger anymore, so hurry up.
After entering Kurume City, the traffic volume has increased, so I used the highway to warp. Aim for Hirado via Sasebo at once. The K227 has a certain amount of traffic, but it is a fast-paced freeway.
Apparently the cars around here have a good pace.There aren't many people running around, or everyone is stepping on the accelerator firmly and running with intention, so the flow of traffic is smooth.It is.
Ikitsuki Island approached when I was enjoying the pleasant winding of K19.
Cross the Ikitsuki Bridge and drive from the south side of the island to the Ikitsuki Island Sunset Way on the west bank. This is often used in car commercials, and even recentlyHonda Fit CMIt is a famous road that is used in.
Certainly this is wonderful. There are guardrails everywhere in Japan, but they are not here. The grass acts like a guardrail, just with a simple wire.
Moreover, the timing I went was at dusk, and the sea and sky were very beautiful. This is not the road to run while listening to the engine sound of 911. It is a road that runs quietly and relaxedly while enjoying the scenery.Please come here by open car.Of course, a coupe is fine, but an open car will definitely double the appeal of this road.
The road was so beautiful and good that I forgot the time and made two round trips.
I think I'll have my back hair pulled, but I'm leaving Ikitsuki Island and aiming for an inn tonight.
However, I was surprised to see the navigation here. It is said that it will take another 2 hours. The hotel was in Omura, but I didn't expect it to cost so much.
On the other hand, while feeling the joy of being able to drive 911 for two hours, I went south on a pitch-black highway. I arrived at the hotel at 21:00. If you think about it,Since I am driving from 5:30 in the morning on this day, I will be touring for about 15 and a half hours in total.I'm crazy (laughs)
