Fall 2022 Sanyin-Sanyo Solo Camp.

friday, november 4 day 9th

We headed for the Sakaiminato Line where Kiha40 is active. First, we went to Yumigahama station for a series of four Kiha40s.

9:49 arrival Yumigahama Station 1642D bound for Yonago.

There was a nice overcrossing, so I took a shot there. Oshinotsu-cho - Wadahama, through the wire fence, but clear with the 200mm f/5.0.

Passed 10:50 1644D

And further toward Sakaiminato. This spot is right next to Yonago Airport. We parked in a nice vacant lot.

12:58 Passage 1644D Yonago Airport Station - Oshinotsu Town
A C-2 transport plane passes overhead.

Then we arrived at Sakaiminato Station. Strolling around in front of the station, we found a sake brewery.

Since we had come this far, we passed by that famous sticky slope and stopped at its photo spot. The photo spot is just a riverbed, and you can see something like a bridge in the distance (about 3km in a straight line), so most of the people who came to take photos with their smart phones were shot down. I think that even the quintessential Olympus image stabilizer requires a tripod, though the micro four thirds might be able to take it on a trip. I'll post the location of the photo shoot. Kotobuki Bussan is the landmark.

We will continue on to the next photo shooting location, Hojo Railway, but we will stop at a famous photo shooting location on the Hakubi Line on the way. We will stop by there because there is a famous photo spot on the Hakubi Line on the way. Negame - Black plate. If we were lucky, we might be able to see a JNR-colored 381 series Yakumo, so we headed there without any plan at all.
Already forgetting how to get there, I first take a picture straight at the railroad crossing in front of it. To my surprise, a Kiha bound for Yonago has arrived.

Black Plate - Neagari 16:18 Passed 945D

And it would originally be here on the farm road.

Yakumo 17 bound for Yonago 7017M 16:53 Passed
Yakumo No.24, JNR color, bound for Okayama 16:57 passed, follow-up photo
Series 115 17:01 passed, 828M Niimi-bound Fuden following

This is now ISO 6400, so I can't take any more pictures, so I head to Route Inn Hojo.

November 5 Saturday day 10th

This is a photo of the Hojo Railway in Hyogo Prefecture. It became famous where Kiha40 from Tohoku was transferred. However, I don't know the schedule of Kiha40's operation. Only the Flower Kiha comes.
The crossing became at a time when there was no timetable. I expected to see a Kiha 40 detained at the Hojocho Station station.

Danrin Hojocho - Harima-Yokota 11:10 Passage

Waiting near Harima-Yokota station for the return that would come.

Passed near Harima-Yokota Station at 11:58
Evening view of Tahara Station, arriving at 15:15

Thinking that the Kiha 40 would not come again, we moved on to our final stop, Kyoto Tango Railway.
(Overnight stay) APA Hotel Nishi-Maizuru

November 6 Sunday the final day

You have a choice to photograph the famous Yura River Bridge. The Miyamai Line, or was it once the Japan National Railways Line?
Head for the Yura River Bridge photo spot. There are many theories, but the Lawson is the landmark, and parking there is the only choice.

Tango Yura Station - Tango Kanzaki 9:12 Passage 220D bound for Nishi-Maizuru
Tango Kanzaki - Tango Yura 10:58 Pass 225D

Thus, all the shooting was completed as per the schedule. All that remains is to return to Urasa, 500 km away, and we have arrived safely.
