Blossoms, bullet train and beyond: exploring Japan by Land and Sea.

At ¥2200, the ferry Miyaima - Peace Park is a lot more expensive than either JR train/light rail/bus options but would save time/hassle.

Considering the low tide, good chance the direct ferry was not running. It can't get up river, so stops running during low tide.

They had a stall for fishing for them as well. We passed! We catch squid frequently at Broughton so it's more fun doing that than catching some poor thing in a water trough.

In the case of the 'dancing squid' the muscles contract when soy sauce is poured over it so it looks like it is moving even though dead, Caught then cleaned then served with the soy to make it look like is dancing. Quite bizarre.

A bit like the waving dried bonito flakes much beloved by okonomiyaki chefs

In physiology class we used to make frog legs twitch with salt
