The other day, I went back to Heiwajima after a long time.
Took the direct shuttle from Omori Station to Heiwajima (free round-trip service)
Heiwajima’s amusement complex—onsen, cinema, restaurants—and you can even enjoy the rides at Big Fun!
The interior is a bit old and eclectic, full of that charmingly cluttered vibe.
Maybe because it’s summer break, there seemed to be more people than usual.
I was soon drawn into ‘Nikomino Ookoshi’ inside the complex. Even if you’re not a gambler, it’s perfect for popping in for a relaxed midday drink, just like I did.”
Picked up some snacks to go with my beer.

Ahh—on a hot day, beer goes down like water!
I never noticed before, but the general seating on the third floor has air conditioning, and it’s surprisingly comfy.
Watching the boat races with a beer in hand, just like you would at a baseball game.
The final corner…
Go! Come on! Let’s go!
The atmosphere was as intense as a martial arts arena.
So… the results?
I didn’t win a single race and was reminded of my complete lack of luck, haha.
Well, some days are just like that, I guess.
