On July 19, I had to drive my daughter to the athletics stadium in Tokamachi city and back home, which gave me another opportunity to explore the Tokamachi and surrounding area for three hours or so. At first, I thought I would visit some Echigo Tsumari Art Triennale artworks, but unfortunately, the weather was rather bad, so I decided to explore some of the stone sculptures scattered here and there around JR Tokamachi Station. ７月19æ—¥、åæ—¥ç”ºå¸‚ã«ã‚ã‚‹é™¸ä¸Šç«¶æŠ€å ´ã«å¨˜ã‚’é€è¿Žã™ã‚‹å¿…è¦ãŒã‚ã‚Š、また十日町やその周辺地域を３時間程度散策するチャンスができましt。最初は大地の芸術祭の作品を幾つか見ようと思ったのですが、天気があまり良くないので、JR十日町駅の周辺に点在する石像を探索することにしました。
JR Tokamachi Station JR十日町駅 Tokamachi city is featured in Episode 11 of Season 3 of Kodoku no Gurume. This is the confectionery store where the main character eats some sweets. 十日町市は孤独のグルメのシーズン３の第11話に出てきます。ここが主人公がお菓子を食べるお菓子屋さんです。
I took photos of all the sculptures I found around the station. Shown below are just a few examples. 駅の周辺で見つけた石像は全部写真に撮ったのですが、その中のほんの一例を載せます。 Title: Perpetual motion
タイトル：永久機関

Not only stone sculptures but also other common objects in the city were impressive. 石像だけでなく、他の普通のオブジェも印象的でした。

I truly enjoyed the two-hour walk around the station. Later, I dropped by the supermarket, 駅周辺の2時間の散策をじっくり楽しみました。後で、スーパーに寄りました。 where I found, surprisingly, Yaki Chicken!
そこで驚いたことに焼チキンを見つけました！
My daughter used to love it, but the manufacturer had discontinued this particular product.
娘が大好きだったのですが、ãƒ¡ãƒ¼ã‚«ãƒ¼ã¯è£½é€ ä¸­æ­¢ã—ã¦ã„ã¾ã—ãŸ。
Edited to add: I have learned from the official website (Japanese only) of the manufacturer, Nisshin, that three versions of Yaki Chicken were released on July 7, 2014. I posted abou the first version of Yaki Chicken here in my blog. 追記：　メーカー（日清）のオフィシャル サイトで、３種類の焼チキンが2014年７月７日に発売されたのを知りました。 最初の焼チキンについては、このブログのここに書いてあります。
