Return to Chōshi City (part 2)

 Now for the second part of the Chōshi adventure.

After seeing Byobugaura Cliff it was time to turn around and make the long walk back to the bus stop.

The bus stop was in front of the Chiba Institute of Science. I asked Emi to take my picture. 

Yes, this is me holding my camera and drinking coffee from a thermos in the nice shelter of the bus stop while Emi stands out in the gale force wind taking my picture. 

Here comes the bus! 

We got off the bus in front of this local products center where we bought some bento box lunches and ate them in a small lunch room.

Next we went for a walk around the Chōshi City waterfront. This is where the fishing fleet moor their boats.

The fishermen are very friendly. This guy is the Captain of the yellow boat behind him. He asked me where I was from? Then he posed for this picture.

Other men busy working on their fishing nets.

It's time to take the train back to the Inn and spend some time soaking in the hot spring bath before dinner time.


Our train is arriving.

The train is a lot more crowded at this time of day.

When we got off at Ashikajima station a young girl politely said goodbye to the train driver; he smiled and thanked her. People are very nice in Chōshi.

It's time for dinner! We're wearing the hotel lounge wear.
Emi looks cute!

I look... not so cute 😞

A little wine with our dinner.

Let's eat!

Next morning and we're back in the dining room for breakfast.

The food is very delicious at this hotel. 

Nothing beats a raw egg for breakfast! 😍

This is the view from our room. I took this picture while we were packing our bags.

We took a local bus to the main train station.

One last look at the local Chōshi Dentetsu line. We enjoy riding the local train during our stay but now it's time to take and express train to go home. 

This is a train!

We're going home in style!

Our car is up near the front of the train.

Last shot of the trip. Getting seated in the train just before departure.

We did a lot of sightseeing and had a lot of fun on our second trip to Chōshi and I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't come back here again in the future. 

Thanks for stopping by!
Mike
