実乃鈴の旅 愛媛・今治・瀬戸内 E-HIME & IMABALI OF SETO-UCHI SEA

広島の尾道から今治へ向かうしまなみ海道

その途中の大三島！

再訪したい場所の１つです

なんといっても、大山祇神社さん！

樹齢２６００年の大楠が忘れられません

Shimanami Kaido heading from Onomichi in Hiroshima to ImabariOn the way, there's Oshima!It's one of the places I want to revisit.Above all, the Daizenji Shrine is an outstanding holy place!I can't forget the ancient camphor tree that is 2,600 years old.

ルノワールさんにも見せてあげたい島の主みたいな巨大な楠

南フランスの町で、1900年ごろに立派なオリーブの木々を守るために

（あわや宅地にされるのを）土地を買い取って守った画家は、

この御神木に 何を話しかけるかしら？

I want to show Mr. Renoir the huge camphor tree that looks like the master of the island. In a town in southern France, around 1900, he bought the land to protect the magnificent olive trees (which were about to be turned into a residential area), and he saved the olives. What would the painter say to this divine tree?

今治城は、小ぶりですけど、かの藤堂高虎の、です

石段は 短いですけど 風情がありました

皆さんも行かれたら、しゃがんで目線を低くして見てね

お堀は海水

海魚が色々、泳いでるのが見られて、楽しかった

Imabari Castle is on the smaller side, but it was constructed by the master castle builder Toudou Takatora.The stone steps are short, but they have a certain charm.If you go, make sure to crouch down and lower your gaze from the bottom of the stone steps.The moat of the castle is filled with seawater.You can see various types of sea fish swimming in the moat, which was enjoyable.

瀬戸内の穏やかな水面は 昔から言われる通り、

鏡のように見えることが多いです

でも、潮流の激しさは、いかに大ベテランの漁師だって

「潮に乗って行き、潮に乗って戻るしかない」

そう言わしめる激しさらしいです

しまなみ海峡の多々良大橋の建設は、

激しい潮流との闘いだったでしょう

潮に負けない特殊な工法だったそうです

The calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea often appear like a mirror, as has been said for ages. However, the intensity of the tides is such that even the most experienced fishermen say, "We can only go with the tide and come back with the tide".It is this intensity that forces such words. The construction of the Tatara Bridge in the Shimanami Kaido was done with a special construction method designed to withstand the fierce tides.

そういう海ですから、魚は身がしまって美味！Such sea fish is delicious!

ある時、

東京からのお客さんが、わたくしに訊きました

彼は納得できない顔で・・・

「銀座の寿司屋が瀬戸内海の魚なんて、とか言ってたが、本当ですか？」

その発言で、その寿司屋が 瀬戸内で食してないのがバレました

恥ずかし

Once, a customer from Tokyo asked me. He said with a face that showed he was unconvinced, "A sushi restaurant in Ginza said that fish from the Seto Inland Sea isn't tasty. Is that true?" It was revealed that the sushi restaurant that made that statement had never eaten the fish from Setouchi. Even if they carry the name value of Ginza, it is foolish for a man to take pride in telling customers wrong assumptions. He should know shame! ...

「うわべの穏やかさだけしか見ないくせに、そんなこと言うもんやないねぇ」

私に質問した御仁も、その板には 信用しきれないムードを感じ、

して、納得してない顔、だったわけです

好きな場所を悪う言われて気ぃ悪なったけど、

じき、皆して笑い出しました

「プロぶって間違う前に、勉強したほうがよろしおす」

人のフリ見て我がふり直せ

先人の諺って、ナイス！

In that way, I felt bad when my favorite place was criticized, but soon we all started laughing together."Before pretending to be a pro and making mistakes, you should study.""Learn from others' mistakes to correct your own."A nice proverb from our predecessors.
