Keikyu line walk extra: Jogashima to Misaki port

On the south coast of Jogashima, I was slogging my way along a rocky beach that was difficult to walk on.

The monolithic rocks here, which look like a washboard, are fairly easy to walk on.

The sandy part of the trail is easy to get your feet caught in, then if you chose to walk across the trail on the rocks, you’ll make a series of small mistakes, such as getting stuck in a large crack where you can’t go on, or getting stuck in a puddle you missed, just like I did there.

Still, looking back, we had come a long way from the Horseback Cave.

Our goal, the Jogejima Lighthouse, is getting closer.

With a telephoto lens, it looks very close, but I had to sweat a bit more to get through the rocky terrain and reach the foot of the lighthouse.

This is the foot of Jogashima Lighthouse.

I was grateful for the overcast weather to avoid heat stroke, but I would have liked to have taken this view with a blue sky backdrop.

The shopping street below the lighthouse is in a nice, well-beaten taste.. Souvenir shops and restaurants are attracting a good number of customers, which is good.

I did not use my “Misaki Maguro Ticket” meal ticket, but saved it for a few hours.

I decided to take a shortcut ferry servicce from Jogashima to Misaki Port without crossing the Jogashima Ohashi Bridge., which is just a stone’s throw away,

A fine fishing pond is open for business by the ferry, and there are a few customers here and there.

But it seems that many anglers are not satisfied with the fishing pond, and are casting as they please on the quay (photo taken from the boat, the railing of the ferry is blurred in the foreground).

After 10 minute waiting on the boat, we departed for Misaki Port.

About 5 minutes, the boat lands in front of the Urari Marche (blue-roofed building), a market for general visitors at Misaki Port.

Oh, this photo was taken at a different time than the ferry we boarded arrived, so there is no ferry shadow, but behind the blurry yellow boat in the background is where the ferry arrives and departs. The pier is not very wide, but it was very skillfully maneuvered.

The Misaki Maguro Ticket allows you to eat and shop at any restaurant of your choice (note: menus and souvenirs are usually pre-designated), so I decided to make good use of it here.

Beautiful hydrangea planted in front of Urari Marche.

So, that’s it for this issue.
Although we could not reach the Keikyu Line station this time, we will put it in an article of the Keikyu Photo Walk category and call it an extra article. Next time, I will finally be able to reach Miura-kaigan Station.

Equipment used: K-3III, DA15, DA20-40, DA55-300
