ズワイガニ食べ放題｜All You Can Eat Snow Crab｜2020/07/16

岩手の安比高原に行った。盛岡から電車で１時間ほどに位置するが、１日数本しかなく車がなければアクセスは不便だ。しかもインバウンドが多かったようで、家電製品売り場やドラッグストアは暇そうだ。冬はスキーで有名だけど、夏は閑散期なので大変だなぁと思っていた。ホテルにチェックインしようとしたら驚いた。人、人、人！盛岡駅周辺の閑散ぶりとは対照的。ほとんどの人がズワイガニ食べ放題プランの会場に向かっている。ズワイガニは冬ではという疑問も無意味なくらいの集客だ。まだまだ自分は固定概念にとらわれてるなぁ。

I went to Appi Kogen in Iwate. It is located about an hour by train from Morioka, but it is inconvenient to access if there are only a few trains a day. Moreover, there seemed to have been a lot of inbound tourists, and no visitors in the electric appliances section and drug store. It is famous for skiing in winter, so I thought it would be difficult because it's a quiet season in summer. But I was surprised when I tried to check in at the hotel. People, people, people! This is in contrast to the quiet areas around Morioka Station. Most people are heading to the venue for the all-you-can-eat crab plan. Snow crab attracts a lot of people without any doubt that it is not the best season. I'm still obsessed with stereotypes.
