I visited Ose Cape at first on 27th, which poked out of the Izu Peninsula like a polyp and was barely connected to the land. There's a mysterious pond in Ose Cape, which keeps fresh water despite being surrounded by the sea at nearly 360-degrees. I saw some pictures of this pond on a Facebook page and was eager to see it. This was all that I knew about Ose Cape, and I was surprised to see more than the pond itself.
I left the hotel, and drove on a national road for some time. Veering off the road, I drove my car onto a narrow path, along which small parking lots were set even in a tiny space. Wondering about lots of cars - like what are the drivers doing in such a deserted area? -, I lost my way and asked someone for the right way at the dead end. Eventually I was able to arrive at the destination and I amazingly came across the person again whom I had asked the way. I'll write about him in the following entry.
大瀬崎（おせざき）
２７日、朝一番でやって来たのが大瀬崎。ここには不思議な池がある。周囲を海に囲まれているにもかかわらず、淡水がわき出ていて無数の淡水に生きる生物が繁殖しているのだ。フェイスブックに写真が載っていて一度訪れてみたいと思っていた。それ以外には予備知識は無かったので、実際に訪れてみて驚くことが多かった。
国道から細い道に入り進んでいくと、道路脇には狭い駐車場がいくつもあり、またほぼ満車。この場所に車を駐めていったい何をしているのだろうかといぶかっているうちに道を間違え、行き着いた先で道を尋ねて目的地に到達できたのだが、、、この道を尋ねた人に約１時間後に再会。この件については後ほど書く。
