In the early summer of 2022, I hiked the long trail along the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region. Tired of walking, I took the train several times, free from my previous “restrictions” (or personal themes). The scenery from the train windows was more interesting than a bad movie. No exaggeration, no sound effects, no special effects, but I was satisfied. Since then, I have been fascinated by the Tohoku region (the Northeast Japan), especially Aomori pref, and visited there several times this year, 2023. Of course, the basic mode of transportation is on foot, but I enjoyed using the local public transportation (buses, local railways, and ship) as an event in my itinerary. In a life full of things we are tired of seeing, it seemed that fresh surprises, encounters, and enjoyment were hidden in things we had never looked at before.

Melody Air - Fly High: Sakura

Primary Pairing Trio: YuuAyuSetsu Rating: G Words: 653 Fandom: Love Live Nijigasaki Parent Fic: Melody Air - Fly High Time Frame: Sometime after the main story AU: Airline Event: Promptober 2022 Event Source: Idol Fanfic Heaven channel on Discord Prompt: Bloom

---------

Author’s Note: Entry for a Backup prompt

Summary: The trio take a flight to view the cherry blossoms

---------

“And now, if you’ll look straight ahead, coming up on the horizon, is Matsumae Park.” Yuu announced from where she sat in the back seat of Chase.

Ayumu listed happily to her girlfriend began to list random historic and current facts about the park, from when it was established to its hours of operation. The trio was flying to Sapporo for an overnight stay and a lot of cherry blossom viewing. But they were not taking the most direct route. Instead, Setsuna had planned a meandering flight plan that would take them over several popular Hanami festival areas. And one submarine base with a highway strip, about which the discussion had somehow led to this trip.

“I need to take her up.” Setsuna said, pulling back on the yolk, reminding her passengers of the minimum altitude she would need to maintain now that they were approaching a populated area.

However, even as Chase leveled off at her new altitude, it did little to diminish the glorious view.

“They’re beautiful…” Ayumu murmured as she watched a blooming sea of pink pass below them.

“I know, right?” She could hear Setsuna’s grin in the tone without needing to take her eyes off the blossoms.

“Next up we have the famous Goryokaku Park, a famous star-shaped park surrounded by a moat and popular tourist attraction.” Yuu continued to play the part of tour guide as Setsuna banked Chase to the right to follow the coastline up to Hakodate. “However, do keep an eye out for smaller parks along the way in places like Fukushima, Shiriuchi and Kikonai.”

“It will take us a little over half an hour.” Setsuna explained. “I’ve got her on course. Would you like to fly, Ayumu-san?”

“Alright.” Ayumu nodded.

Just a few months ago, Ayumu was far more hesitant to take control of Setsuna’s Cessna, but recently, she had started looking forward to it. She still lacked the confidence to perform take off and landing maneuvers, but just flying and maintaining course and altitude was fun.

“Ne, Yuu-san.” Setsuna turned in her seat. “Can I do the rest of Goruokaku Park?”

“Of course.” Yuu handed her tablet forward before giggling. “Is that why you let Ayumu fly?”

“I… uhm… well, maybe a little…” Setsuna admitted. “I just… I have fond memories of Goryokaku. My parents took me many places when I was young as they wanted me to learn about our nation’s history. And the fort, or park, was one of those places. But I also know how much Ayumu-san likes flying now.”

“And Setsuna-chan loves sharing the things she loves with the ones she loves.” The teasing was gone from Yuu’s tone.

“I do. Very much so.” Setsuna confirmed, still behaving as though she was being teased. “A-Anyway, Ayumu-san, I’ll take over again when we start getting closer to Yakumo.” She mentioned the area with the military base and highway strip. “Then you can fly again as we round Uchiura Bay, up to Noboribetsu, then arc up through Chitose, following the railway.”

“And Setsuna-chan will land us in Sapporo.” Ayumu concluded.

“Mm.” Setsuna nodded. “Anyway, the Goryokaku fort was built near the end of the Tokugawa shogunate to protect the Tsugaru Strait against a possible invasion by a Russian fleet. Its star design was inspired by a French architect, Vauban, and allowed a greater number of gun emplacements.”

“Kinda like the one on Liberty Island in the States?” Yuu asked.

“Yes, although Fort Wood is actually an eleven-pointed star, unlike Goryokaku, which only has five. Citadel of Jaca in Spain might be a better comparison.”

“Hrm… but isn’t that one land locked?” Yuu considered. “At least Fort Wood was also designed to defend a waterway.”

“You’re not wrong.”

Ayumu couldn’t help laughing. “I thought Setsuna-chan and Yuu-chan were only obsessed with aviation history.”

“We can expand our horizons sometimes.” Yuu insisted.

“Mm.” Ayumu smiled and let her girlfriends resume their discussion.

---------

Author’s Note Continued: I can’t see the word bloom without thinking about Ayumu and her solos at this point. And I had recently written an entry about her and her girlfriends planning a trip to Sapporo to attend a Hanami festival there. This one pretty much wrote itself.

And with this, my Promptober 2022 is officially complete. Only a week late in posting the final chapters, but... que zura, zura. Now to get back to work on my queue... that I’ve only made longer with the ideas I’ve come up with during this event.

All over the world, scenic rail tours have been revived as an alternative to traditional sightseeing. Japan is no exception. A special term has even been coined in the Japanese language to describe those who are pleasantly obsessed with rail travel – densha otaku, literally translated “train nerd.”

This local rail route is very popular across Japan for the way it skims past the Sea of Japan coastline. The Resort Shirakami is a leisure train where you can even be treated to shamisen (a traditional Japanese 3-stringed lute) performances with Japanese vocals sung in the Tsugaru dialect.

“It feels like the ocean is rushing up close to the train as it passes the coastline. It was really exciting.”

This line takes you to the northernmost reaches of the island of Honshu, from Akita Prefecture to Aomori Prefecture. This northern exposure makes the Gono Line ideal for winter viewing of Japan scenery. The rail line often runs alongside the Sea of Japan, placing you between the inland snowscape and the “raging winter seas” common to northern Japan, complete with mystical natural rock formations.

Views from the Gono Line have been described as “some of the best coastal scenery of any railway in the world.” You’ll also be treated to views of the beautiful Mount Iwaki.

SUNDAY EXTRA: The Stove Train | Tsugaru Railway | Japan

"Take a classic train ride through the snowy landscape in a retro “stove train” to warm your body and soul. The Tsugaru Railway Line has been running along the Tsugaru Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture since 1930. Over time, it became famous for its “stove trains” that feature old-fashioned, potbelly coal-fired Dharma stoves in the cars.

You can book one of the three daily round-trip rides from Goshogawara Station to Kanagi Station, six stops away between December and March. Enjoy the snowy scenery while warming up around the stove – the red burning coals create a comfortable social atmosphere where everyone can enjoy some surume ika (dried squid) roasted on the stove.

At Kanagi Station, spend an hour at the historic Shayokan, a museum dedicated to Osamu Dazai, one of Japan's most famous writers, while waiting for the return train. Riding this nostalgic sightseeing train through a heavy snowfall area, which is unique to Japan, will surely leave a memorable impression. [Japan Travel]"

Stay warm and safe out there.
