Following to yesterday’s walk, I went ahead to Mitsuke, the 28th shukuba station.
Tokaido goes along residential areas and rice and tea fields in this area. Lines of pine trees remain in some places.
I dropped in a kite shop along the street in Fukuroi. Kite-flying has been popular in and around this area.
Mitsuke is in Iwata city, Shizuoka Prefecture. The city is not so big, but is famous as a “sport city”. It host a popular football team Jubilo Iwata. I saw posters, flags and other Jubilo-related things throughout the city. I also found handprints and footprints of football stars copied in the plates in the main street of the city.
Iwata is a home town of Yamaha Motor and has main factories of Suzuki.
The oldest building of the nation’s elementary school remains near Mitsuke station.
