I traveled by train to Tsuchiura Station in Ibaraki Prefecture and cycled around the Kasumigaura Lake short course (approximately 90km)!

This time, it was a gourmet and travel-focused ride, visiting the bento vending machines at "Arai Auto Corner," a place I'd wanted to go for a while, and the convenience store "Seicomart."

I'll share the actual itinerary starting at 9 AM, along with a condensed look at the history and highlights of Lake Kasumigaura.

【Places Visited】
Tsuchiura Station
Rinrin Port Tsuchiura
Seicomart
Tomita Shoten: A warm shop supporting cyclists
Arai Auto Corner: The legendary bento vending machine
Michi-no-Eki Tamatsukuri: Catfish burger and melon soft serve

【Route and Equipment Used】
・Course: Lake Kasumigaura Short Course (approx. 90km)
・Transportation: Bike to Tsuchiura Station (road bike)

The bento vending machine at Arai was incredibly delicious, and I could feel the weight of its history of over 50 years! ✨
Lake Kasumigaura is easy to ride with few hills or traffic lights, but be careful not to underestimate the wind, or you'll end up rushing down the main road like I did... sweat
