2024.09.08 沖繩のイベントがあったので行ってきた。数組の歌手が歌ったりトークありのイベントだったが、残念ながら盛況とは言い難い状況。なにせ日陰がないのだ。有料のテーブル席ですらほとんどが炎天下。後方に無料のテーブル席もあったが、満席かつ炎天下。9月上旬にやるイベントじゃないな。チューハイをイッキ飲みしたが、余計に汗が吹き出す始末。私は2度も熱中症にかかったことがあるので、早々に陰を探して移動した。せっかく来たので、海辺までいった。何年ぶりのメリケンパークだろうか!?　オークラで仕事の展示会があった時以来だろう。なんとなく今後行くこともなさそうな気がしたから、目に焼き付けておいた。

昼間にロードでサイクリングで訪問したぶり‼️今回は夜に訪問‼️ 今回はイベントがあったので夕方から周辺散策してからのんびりと楽しませていただきました😆 街の海辺の素敵なシチュエーション😊 良いと思います😆

盆休みに宿泊しました!!部屋と景色とも良かったです!!ハーバーランドの観覧車や水のイルミネーションショー見たいな奴が夜に部屋から見えて綺麗でした!!ハーバーランドは歩いて10分かからないくらい。三宮までは三宮駅までシャトルバスが出ていて観光拠点にオススメです。朝食だけ頼みましたが朝食バイキングも美味しかったです。ホテルの方も丁寧な対応で素晴らしかったです。また行きたいです!!
