アンカレッジ34歳ひとり旅🇺🇸片道6万円超のアラスカ鉄道に乗ってみた。【北米 #8】2023年9月18日〜20日

Are you all traveling? I'm Shige. Alaska Railway, more than 60,000 yen in America, Anchorage. Let's get started. Arrive at Fairbanks Station on Alaska Railway. We will head to Anchorage on Alaska Railway from now on. The station is very beautiful. First, line up in the line of the counter and check in. Check-in completed. This time, I made a reservation for the Gold Star Service, so I was given a special badge. This badge is said to be the proof of boarding the Gold Star Service. This time, it is a 12-hour journey from Fairbanks, where I am now, to Anchorage on a route called Denali Star. The highlight is Denali, the most popular in North America, McKinley. It seems that there are quite a few kinds of souvenirs at the station. Is there a lot of clothes? Super rare Alaska Railway goods. It may not be enough for a mania. Wow, there is a miniature of the railroad. This is not enough for children. You're running a lot. This is a model of Denali National Park. I was excited before departure. I will put it in a nice model with a $ 1 tip. At 7.50 pm, Denali Star will finally appear. It's a pretty big train. It was insanely expensive. I'm looking forward to it. I'm getting excited. This time I will ride this Car B. Is it a big double-decker vehicle? I climbed to the second floor. The Gold Star Service vehicle looks like this. My seat is 8D, so it's on the right window side. When I sit down, it looks like this. The window is very large, so I can enjoy the scenery to the fullest. The seat pitch is very loose. Even a big American can sit comfortably. It's a solid leather seat, so it's comfortable to sit on. When I put down the desk, it came to the front. There seems to be a drink corner behind the second-floor vehicle. There was also a small outdoor deck space where you could change your mood. The toilet is also spacious and beautiful inside the train. Between the first and second floors, you can use spiral stairs like this. We are equipped with major and minor medical kits on board, medical oxygen and an AED. Departure from Fairbanks at 8.20 a.m. Bye-bye, Fairbanks! It seems that the Alaska Railway is running very slowly. Unfortunately, it's cloudy and rainy right now, but I want it to be sunny when passing through Denari. The ceiling seems to be a window on one side. There is a sunshade like sunglasses. It takes about 12 hours from running so slowly to Anchorage. This is like a normal class car. Normal class cars are on the first floor. The window on the first floor is also a little small, so the scenery may be slightly inferior, but it is a seat that seems to be comfortable enough. There is also a car with a store between the normal seats and the gold class. Customers in the normal seats can buy light meals at the store and eat them. It seems that there are snacks, drinks, and light meals such as bread at the store. It's a pretty open car with a high ceiling. The dining car looks like this. It starts at 10 minutes and the breakfast time starts suddenly. The meal seems to be a four-person seat and a double seat. This is the breakfast menu. It seems that you can choose from three types. The gold star service has three meals in the morning, noon, and evening, but it seems that there are also two free drinks. In addition to alcohol drinks, there are several types of cocktails, such as beer, cider, and wine. There are also some drinks on the breakfast menu. I wonder if this is free. This is a free drink. Breakfast is orange juice. You can enjoy it outside the window while eating, but unfortunately today is a cloudy view. For breakfast, I ordered an aurora breakfast. Scrambled eggs and baked potatoes are honestly normal. In Kitaguni, reindeer sausages have a strong taste and are spicy and delicious. I want to drink beer in the morning. The reindeer sausage was very delicious. Thank you for the meal. I came back to the second floor and got coffee after dinner. Coffee is of course free. For a while, the trees, which began to turn yellow with autumn leaves, lined up. The weather got a little better and the sun began to appear vaguely. This area continues to be pointed trees like a Christmas tree. Let's go out to the outdoor deck for a change. It's really cool. It's cold. It's very windy. But after all the scenery is open, so the outdoor deck feels better. It's pretty fast now. The forest disappears and I run in a slightly open place. There is a house in the middle of nowhere. This time it seems to run along the riverbank for a while. It's a storm. Is this river mainly snow melting water? Alaska doesn't seem to have a problem with water. Yes, this is Alaska. I couldn't take a video now, but I think a pretty big bear was running. I stopped for the first time at Healy. I saw several passengers coming in from here. What kind of factory is it? In such a remote place. There is a fairly large factory. I'm running next to the valley right now. The scenery around here is very beautiful. It seems that this section will continue to have a beautiful scenery on the left for a while. If you look closely, you can see that it passes through the cliffs. If there is a landslide, it will be difficult to run for a while. Sometimes it passes through a bridge like this. It's foggy today, but when it's sunny, that mountain looks beautiful. The scenery across the highway is also beautiful. Everyone is busy taking pictures. I was outside for a while and it was very cold, so I got a hot tea. I'm about to arrive at Denali National Park Station. It's a beautiful view. I've seen a big city for the first time in a long time. This seems to be Denali's tourist destination. It's a beautiful city by the river. It's wonderful. It's nature. This seems to be Denali Park Station. It seems that many people come and go here as a base for Denali tourism. It seems that you can stop for about 10 minutes and get off temporarily. Everyone was getting off, so I got off too. It's closed today, so if you want to smoke, get off and smoke in a hurry. It seems that Denali tourist shuttles are also coming. There seems to be no special attraction, so let's go back soon. It's cold. After stopping for a while, depart Denali Park. You should be able to see the golden Denali in the direction of travel, so let's stop. It's lunch time, so I got off at the restaurant again. It's a seat. It's lunchtime, so I'll drink it soon. I'm passing through Denali, so I'll drink Denali Brewing IPA. It doesn't have a citrusy scent, and it has a mild taste. It's easy to drink because it's not bitter. It seems that there are four types of lunch menu. What should I do? Reindeer. I ordered reindeer bolognese. The meat of the reindeer has no smell at all, and it's delicious. It's also good that it's a little spicy. I can see the snow mountain on my right hand, but it's mostly hidden in the fog. We wait until at least 8 or 9. Another train is passing in front of us. It seems that this train is stopping at the intersection of this train. I was waiting for the train that passed by earlier to change this rail. Oh, isn't it a little sunny? I can see beautiful mountains on my right hand. I can also see the mountains on my left hand. Hey, hey, it's getting sunny. Please do this from the beginning. As Denali gets closer, the weather is finally getting better. It's finally sunny. How is this beautiful mountain? It seems that we will pass a high bridge from now on. It seems that this is the highest bridge on Alaska Railway. It's certainly high. If you fall, of course, there is no one. It's a good point to see the train that turns slowly. I think that's Denali in the direction of Google Maps. It's sunny and I can finally see it. By the way, Denali and McKinley were combined in the past, but now it seems that they are trying to unify to Denali. There are a lot of huge mountains around Denali. Denali's altitude is 6190 meters, the highest in the North American continent. I've been getting tired of the unremarkable section for a while. By the way, my cell phone is always out of town, so I have nothing to do. Depending on the location, my cell phone will be connected normally. We will arrive at Tarkina station soon. Before I knew it, I was far away from Denali and couldn't see it at all. It seems that a few people will come again from here to Anchorage. Departure from Tarkina. Anchorage in about 3 hours. Oh, I saw Denali in the distance for the first time in a long time. It's dinner time. It seems that dinner is a little like a course, so you can choose appetizers and main dishes. The first cup of dinner is champagne. It's a little sweet and cold, and it's very easy to drink. The appetizer is smoked salmon chowder. It's very thick and rich. It has a lot of ingredients and smells like smoked salmon. The main dish is arctic cod. I made it anko-yaki of Arctic cod. It's delicious if you eat it with tartar sauce. It's a little small, so I'd be happy if there was a little more. In addition to that, it also comes with smoked cod, mashed potatoes, and small bread. It's a very common amount in America, so I was able to eat it all. Thank you for the meal. I used up the two free frames, so I paid and bought Alaskan Brewery's Kells beer. It has a slightly unique European ale taste. The bitterness is modest. I like the way the whale on this label is jumping. Sunset is approaching, and the autumn leaves illuminated by the sunset are beautiful. Anchorage is getting closer. I can see the mountains again. The bad weather until a while ago is like a lie. It's going to be a beautiful sunset tonight. Let's pay $10 for the last chip. I arrived at Anchorage Station in less than 12 hours. It was long, but there were three colors. After eating, drinking, and looking at the scenery, it was a pleasant trip in no time. Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska. It certainly has high-rise buildings, and it seems to be much more urban than Fairbanks. It's more than 4 km to the inn, and it's hard to walk, so I'll call an Uber. I got a Uber. I'm glad it wasn't that expensive. I'm going to the inn. I got on the Uber and arrived at the Aptel Studio Hotel. I checked in. City Studio One Queen Bedroom In Anchorage, I chose the cheapest room among the open hotels. The room is wide and nice. A beautiful independent washbasin right after entering the room. The bathroom is also wide and beautiful. The bathtub is attached and the shower is fixed to the wall. It also has a fairly solid kitchen, so it's okay for self-watering. There is a dining table and Wi-Fi is not fast, but it is connected. I checked from the room to see if there was an aurora, but I couldn't see it. Tomorrow I will walk around the city of Anchorage a little. Good night. Good morning. I'm hungry. First of all, I'm going to have lunch. The view from the hotel is magnificent. It seems that you can get to downtown by bus, so I would like to wait a little. The 20th bus to downtown has arrived. I will ride this. I paid $ 2 for the driver's seat and got on safely. I arrived at the downtown transit center. I will walk for a few minutes from here and go to have lunch. The current temperature is 10 ° C, the lowest temperature is 1 ° C, and the highest temperature is 11 ° C. It's like winter in Tokyo. Lunch is highly rated on Google Maps. Let's go to Snow City Cafe. It's a spacious and stylish shop, but it's almost full. It's a pop and stylish shop that feels a little Northern European. Drinks are 16 ounces of Cafe Americano. Egg Benedict seems to be a specialty, so I ordered a Benedict using Alaska salmon called Ship Creek. I was expecting a soft-boiled egg, but it was relatively hard. But it has a lot of salmon and the taste is rich and delicious. There is also a square hashed potato, so the volume is also good. I also ordered a house salad small. Tomato, cucumber, carrot, cabbage, spinach, etc. The vegetables are fresh, crispy and delicious. I also ordered a salad, so I'm full. Thank you for the meal. I heard that there is a free shuttle, so I decided to go to Alaska Zoo. Unfortunately, the free shuttle for 2023 ended on September 2nd. When I checked Uber, it was 4,500 yen for one way to Alaska Zoo. So today I would like to take a walk around the center of Anchorage. As far as the map shows, what you see in front of you looks like a bay that has entered the inland side. On the other side of the bay, there are huge snow mountains. Alaska is now nearing the end of the short summer, and it is said that a full-fledged winter will come in another month. Looking at it like this, there are some skyscrapers in the center. Anchorage is flying in the sky without a break. The population of Anchorage is about 300,000. Half of the population of Alaska lives around Anchorage. As long as the city is large and quiet, it is not a particularly attractive city for tourists. It is said that you can see whales as well as murals in Alaska. Next, I came to the Anchorage Museum. It's a modern building. If it's not that expensive, let's go in. Entrance fee is $ 20, about 3,000 yen. It's not a cheap price, so I won't do it. There are some glaciers around Anchorage. There is a glacial cruise that allows you to see the glaciers easily. It seems to be a good idea to participate in tours such as zoos and wildlife protection centers where you can see Alaska's animals. There weren't many things like this in Anchorage. I don't have anything to do anymore, so I'd like to go to a cafe and kill time. Kobuk? Kobak? I'll have 12 ounces of drip coffee. It's a miscalculation that there was no Wi-Fi. There's a lot of Cessna flying in the sky above Anchorage. I'm sure it's a major means of transportation. Anchorage. Most cafes are closed at this time, so I'll go to Tap House instead of a cafe. Tent City. It's a place where you can drink as many types of tap beer as you want. It's early, but it's pretty crowded. There are a lot of types of tap beer. There are 24 types in total. I ordered a Tangerine IPA from Glacier Brewhouse. The bitterness is moderate and the citrus scent is refreshing. It's a very fruity IPA. I'm looking for a three-night stay in Vancouver from tomorrow. I don't know if it's a booking, but it's 60,000 yen. If it's cheaper than that, it'll be like 180,000 yen for the next three nights. It's ridiculously expensive. Seriously, what's going on? All three nights are over 200,000 yen. What is this? I was looking for a three-night stay in Vancouver, but it was too expensive. I was able to book about 30,000 to 40,000 yen for the first and second nights. I'm going to have another drink. Anchorage has several famous hotels such as Hilton and Marriott. I just realized that there was a Visitor Information Center here. In front of the Visitor Center, there is a sign indicating the distance to each city. It says that Tokyo is 3460 miles in this direction. This building next to the Visitor Center is the city hall of Anchorage. In Alaska, there are bears and elephants everywhere. It says that the bear elephant is the largest souvenir shop in Alaska. I took a detour and came to 49th State Brewing, which is very popular on Google Maps. The receptionist told me that I could sit down as I wanted because it was open seating. But it's so crowded and there are a lot of people waiting. I don't know what to do. The name of the store is 49th State Brewing. Alaska is the 49th state after 48 states. As expected of Brewing. It seems that there are a lot of types of beer. There was a set of four types of beer called Flight. I'll try this one. Classic Flight. I got a set of four types of beer called Classic Flight. What has been your favorite place so far? It's a very difficult question. But one of my favorite countries is Spain. It's mild and easy to drink. I think I'll be able to drink this much in a moment if I talk to him. It seems that you can eat a lot of Alaska food on the menu. It seems that there is also a king crab leg. There are a lot of menus on the back side. From pub menu to authentic food, there is a lot of variety. Alaska specialty fish, Halibut. In Japan, it's called Ohyo. It's a fish and chips with a large curry. The batter is crispy and the meat is fluffy. Above all, the taste is solid. It's delicious. Halibut is delicious. If you dip it in plenty of tartar sauce, it's the best snack. I can't stop drinking beer. What should I say about Eagle Ale? It's an easy-to-drink beer with a refreshing scent like a flower. Another star, potato. It's thick and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It's really delicious. If you dip it in tartar sauce, it's the best snack. I'm sorry, but I'm grateful for the coleslaw. Even this is a snack. It's sweet. It's cut in the footage. The fourth beer, Solstice IPA, is also fruity with a light bitterness. This beer is very fruity overall. We won't interrupt you. I watched one time ago. I started out with him. Inglorious Basterds, I think it's the home to sweets. I want to get Hilton. I ordered king crab and artichoke dip. I'll put a lot of dip on this thin bread and eat it. The cheese is very rich. Is there a lot of king crab in it? The crab flavor is not so strong. The cheese is too strong. If you put it on the bread, it's full of cheese. It's like a pizza. The second beer is Little McCarthy Stout. I wonder if it's Chisso. The first sip tastes like coffee. I feel bitterness, aroma and richness. It's light overall, so it's easy to drink. I ate too much. I'm full. I ate the dip, but I left the bread. Thank you for the meal. Finally, the number of customers has decreased. It's such a big store, but it's almost full. It's a popular store. I'm full. Cell is about to explode. Aurora hasn't come out. The next bus was about an hour later. I'll call Uber and go back to the inn. Arrived at the inn. The driver just told me. I saw the aurora last night. What? Did you see the aurora at Anchorage? I missed it. I'll fly to Vancouver tomorrow. Good night. Good morning. I have a lot of laundry, so I'll use the coin laundry at the inn. $1.5 per time. I also bought detergent for $1.5 per time. $2 per time. I finished my laundry and checked out the inn. I was going to take the bus, but it's raining. I'll take Uber to the city center. I'm going to have lunch before I fly to Vancouver. I'm going to Hampi's Ale House. It's a pub restaurant with a variety of beers. It's lunchtime, so I'll have non-alcoholic IPA. It's my first time drinking non-alcoholic IPA. It's a little citrusy and sweet. IPA is not limited to alcohol. I ordered a club roll. It's huge. It looks like a lot of crab. I checked with the clerk. It's a half-and-half of King Club and Imitation Club. I think Imitation Club is a crab roll. I don't know if it's a half-and-half of a crab roll. It tastes good. And the bread is fluffy. It's so good. There are a lot of crispy fried potatoes. I want to drink real beer. The bread was huge. If I eat it all, I'll die. I'll leave some potatoes. From Downtown Transit Center to the airport. The 40th bus leaves every 15 minutes, so I'll wait. Anchorage seems to have a lot of buses. The 40th bus to the airport has arrived. I paid $2 in cash and got on the bus. It takes less than 30 minutes by bus. Arrived at Anchorage International Airport. There was also a bear at Anchorage Airport. It says World Record. It's huge. This is the 49th Day Brewing I drank last night. It's also at the airport. After the security check, I entered the restricted area. Since it is in the United States, there is no departure screening. It's huge. Is this a moose? It's huge. It's a moose. Alaska Yukon Moose It says World Record Alaska Yukon Moose. It's the biggest moose in the world. Air Canada, which I will ride this time, Unfortunately, there is no airline lounge. There is also a 49th Day Brewing here. There is a Starbucks, so I will work at Starbucks for a while. Americano Grande Thank you. This time I will ride Air Canada to Vancouver. It seems to be a relatively new equipment. The seat pitch is also quite roomy. 16 o'clock 46 minutes. Anchorage departure. Bye bye, Anchorage. I asked for water. The flight to Vancouver is scheduled for less than 3 hours. I can see Vancouver, Canada. Which area is the city center? The city is quite large, so I don't know yet. Landed safely at Vancouver International Airport, Canada. The 83rd country of Shigetabi, Canada. Only unmanned aircraft were allowed to enter and leave the country. To travel to Canada, you need to apply for an ETA in advance. That's it for this time. Next time, the Vancouver episode. Look forward to it. Please subscribe to the Alaska Railroad channel. See you next time.
