Rugby World Cup Travel in SHIZUOKAaccess
“Not every four years...Once in a lifetime!!”
This is 2019 Rugby World Cup's Catchphrase...I was inspired...hehehe...
I was able to buy a ticket for a match33(AUSTRALIA vs GEORGIA) in SHIZUOKA pref.
So I thought about SHIZUOKA traveling for 2days-1night.
However, the next day is the forecast of a typhoon hit......Of course the train(SHINKANSEN) stops.
I decided it was dangerous and I decided to switch to one day travel.
TRAVEL MAP
TRAVEL STORY
I took a bus from YAESU SOUTH EXIT Bus Terminal of TOKYO Station early morining.
Actually I took the JR bus at Tokyo Station for the first time.
I felt that the waiting room was smaller than my image.
The last station of the bus is Nagoya, this bus stops in various towns...And departure time is 7:00
There was a toilet in the car, which was a good my impression.
The highway along the sea was closed due to the typhoon, but the bus delay was about 20 minutes.
I got off at the highway bus stop in KAKEGAWA.
There was a famous hamburg restaurant in Shizuoka prefecture near the bus stop.
I had a brunch at the restaurant
The name of the restaurant is SAWAYAKA(さわやか).
This hambrger restaurant is only in Shizuoka prefecture.
My friend recommended “Let's eat half with sourse, half with salyt and pepper in SAWAYAKA”
I ate as my friend recommended...I liked to eat with salt and pepper.
By the way, we can choose either “Onion sauce“ or ”demiglace sauce”.
After that, I walked to KAKEGAWA station.
Then, I found a Wallabies bus at a hotel near the station.
I could not meet the players....However, I was gradually excited...!?
Kakegawa station had World Cup specifications.
By the way…
Canned beer at the station is 500yen.
Canned beer at the stadium is 700yen/1,000yen (350ml/700ml).
But We can buy canned beer at a nearby convenience store for 260yen...
I went to the other side(Noryh Exit) of the station and went to Kakegawa Castle
Entrance fee of 400yen〜900yen was required to enter the facilities such as the castle, but it was free if we just walk around...So So I took a walk through the castle.
After that, I took a train to AINO Station, which is the closest to ECOPA STADIUM.
There was a rugby ball in front of AINO station.
I had a lot of time to kick off.
I went to visit HATTASAN-SONEIJI-Temple near ECOPA STADIUM.
It takes about 40 minutes from ECOPA STADIUM to HATTASAN-SONEIJI-Temple.
If we go from AINO to HATTASAN-SONEIJI-Temple, it will take about 1 hour.
I pass through the gate...
I walked the approach for 10 minutes…
I arrived at the main temple.
I ate a famous DANGO(dumpling) after visiting.
Price is only 200yen.
Actually I went to SHIZUOKA prefecture many times over the last year and last year at my work.
At that time, I had stopped at HATTASAN-SONEIJI-Temple and had this DANGO for the first time.
It was so delicious that I revisited it this time.
I am difficult to communicate by English...Anyway, this dumpling is delicious!!!!
And I return to the ECOPA STADIUM...
This is the rumored 1000 yen beer...But nobady here...
It didn't rain until I arrived at the stadium.
However, about one hour before the start of the game, the influence of the typhoon began to appear.
And it was a match in the storm.
Australia won 27 vs 8 in the match.
I left the stadium at the end of the match.
However, there are too many people...I arrived at the platform 10 minutes before the last train
I was able to ride the last train(SHINKNSEN)...I was able to back my home safely<END>
