Good morning from Hamamatsu

We have arrived at the lake. Lakes are so scary man. Why is there so much water but no waves. Unnatural

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Climbing up Tateyama to visit Kanzanji

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Made the climb up to see the Kannon

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Went to the lake coast and found all these red rocks that sound like ceramic when you walk over them. This combined with the gentle lake water lapping and scuttling the pebbles makes for a really interesting soundscape

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

The way these rocks break look very cool. I wish I knew anything about geology. Looking at all these compressed layers of rocks is weirdly powerful and terrifying

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

This lake water is so unsettling tho. Why is it so quiet. What the hell. As someone who grew up near the sea, this will never not be disturbing

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Hiked down a different cliff face to find the Tosakai Iwa (Cockscomb Rock)

Also this yellow... flower? Fruit? Alien life form?

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Hiked all the way back to the temple and found there's a little craft fair event thing going on

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

There are lots of kids so I don't wanna be weird and take pictures, but there is a stand full of kendama and yoyos that you can try out, and a very friendly niichan teaching folks how to play

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Talking to the kendama niichan who said he is gonna appear with Miyama Hiroshi at Kōhaku 👀 He doesn't know what number he's gonna be yet so we just gotta keep an eye out for him lmao

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Good bye Kanzanji/Tateyama, it's been fun

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Gojiin haul:

1. Standard stamp for Kanzanji
2. Stamp for Me no Ana Taishi (good health for eyesight)
3. Kirie (laser cut paper art) of the tengu/fox of Kansanji

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Had a ridiculously good unajuu (eel box meal) as is customary when you go to Hamamatsu

I am always saying XYZ is the best thing I've ever eaten but. this was for real the best thing I've ever eaten

You don't realize how much the place you live smells like factory exhaust and farts until you go somewhere that doesn't smell like that 💀 The air here is so fresh, to the extent I don't want to go back to Kanagawa lmao

[renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt]

Found a very good guy
