Setouchi Art Festival

This was second time in my life to visit Naoshima in Kagawa prefecture. It is located in center of Seto Inland Sea “Setonaikai”. Also Setouchi Art Festival 2022 has been holding around the area. There are many displayed objects in islands. 

I brought my load bike and ride in the island from Kurashiki, Okayama-pref. It was a bit cold, but still nice weather to ride around the area. I posted many photos on Instagram like above.

Fake Cleats

During riding, recently I’ve got a cramp in my leg. I thought it was caused by long interval between riding, but I found an article about position of SPD-SL Cleats on binding shoes. If position is not well fitted with body and pedal, it may be reason to get a cramp in the legs.

Coindidentally found another article about fake cleats, and I checked my stock for cleats, since I brought the cheapest one  from Lazada in 2020, and merchants was in China.  Comparing with picture in article, my stock seems be fake:_(.

I’m ordering new binding shoes, so will repurchase cleats together….

 

Kanazawa

It might be 2nd time to go to Kanazawa in my life. 1st time was private trip when I was 21 years old. But completely forgot where I visited in that time and atmosphere of the town. And this time is for biz trip, so there is no time to visit anywhere in daytime. After finished work in the bi trip, dropped by one of the famous spot. It seems be late to come to there. Lively time might be day time. Hope I can visit again to the historical town.

1st Flight over my house

Finally I got Drone “DJI Mini 2” as posted last week. But there are many regulation in Japan to fly Drone. Under 199g Drone has less regulation than over 200g weight so far. Then I could make some test flights over my house with DJI Mini 2. Below is recorded video for sunset with Mt.Fuji. Needless to say I have never seen this view from my area. It’s awesome and feels enough worth to buy Drone personally.

But as wrote at beginning, due to regulation in Japan, I can’t fly even this lighter drone out side of my house in Tokyo. And public park, side of river and harbor in Tokyo doesn’t allow people to fly drone due to risk of damage to any stuff. So I need to go out from Tokyo to find best place to practice more….. 

Ordered DJI Mini 2

To learn feeling to operate Drone before use commercial Drone, Just ordered DJI Mini 2 as toy drone. One of the changing in Japan regarding law in this year, registration for toy drone will be required from June 20th 2022. And Remote ID to identify UAV in Japan will be also needed after June 2022. But if regitered before June 2022, Toy Drone (under 199g) will be omitted to have remote ID.

I’m looking forward to get and flight it soon.
