While on one of them they are very small, both of these photos contain
vending machines. This is the Ashigezaki tenbōdai Observatory, which was
the main reason we visited Hachinohe. I clicked on it more or less by
chance on google maps, but looking at the pictures, it reminded me of a
location in a manga I read once. According to the story, the place is
supposed to be in Hokkaido, so I'm not sure if the two have anything to do
with each other. At the very least the place in the story could have been
inspired by a place similar to this.
見えにくいかもしれないけど、全ての写真に自販機がある。これは八戸に行った主な理由で、葦毛崎展望台だ。グーグルマップでたまさかクリックして、写真を観たら、私が読んだ漫画である場所に似ていると思った。漫画によると北海道であって、恐らく架空の場所だから、多分葦毛崎展望台と漫画の展望台は全く関係ない。でも、せめて漫画の展望台はこのような場所からインスピレーションを受けたかもしれない。
As a bonus, I thought these vending machines looked nice and a bit lonely
on the side of the road.
ボーナス自販機が道路の横にちょっと寂しいけど、面白い雰囲気と思う。
And as a second bonus here is another vending machine with the Kabushima
shrine on a tiny peninsula in the background.
ボーナス自販機第２の背景で蕪島という小さな半島に蕪嶋神社がある。
