Mr.Musipan

I found that a new steamed bread shop opened near Kasumi in Takezono.

I bought some, and the price was 140~200 yen.

It tastes good, but the price is kind of high? Try it.

Hiraiso coast (平磯海岸) and Hitachi Kaihin Park(ひたち海浜公園)

A friend of mine told me that there is good point to find fossil. The place is Hiraiso coast (平磯海岸 ). The coast was the ocean floor in the Cretaceous (dinosaur) period, and raised above sea level. So it is 80-million-year-old layer. Many ammonite fossils were discovered in the stratum.
We looked for fossil, but we didn't know which is which. So we enjoyed the 80-million-year-old atmosphere, and picked up uncommon stone.














After lunch, we went to Hitachi Kaihin Park (ひたち海浜公園). It is very big places that children love, such as amusement parks, water site, flower parks.

On the way home, we stopped by Nakaminato fish market that you can see and eat　freshly-caught fish.
