Historical Perry Road along Serene Canal & Yanagibashi Bridge

Location: Perry Road, Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan Timestamp: 15:34 June 6, 2023

The canal running alongside Perry Road in the port town of Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, is adorned with vibrant hydrangeas and weeping willows. Fortunately, this peaceful canal still retains its original stonework, preserving its charm instead of being completely replaced with tasteless concrete.

I am captivated by the lush greenery, unique streetlamps, and the array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and antique stores that line Perry Road.

"Perry Road" is now a street that holds great historical significance as it was the path traveled by Commodore Matthew C. Perry of the U.S. Navy. Perry embarked on this very route upon his arrival in Japan aboard the renowned "Black Ships" during the final years of the Edo Period (1603-1868). His destination was Ryosenji Temple, where negotiations took place between Perry and Japanese officials, ultimately leading to the signing of the Japan-US treaty.

Walking along Perry Road not only offers a captivating natural spectacle but also provides a glimpse into the rich historical tapestry of Shimoda. As you stroll amidst the blooming hydrangeas and elegant weeping willows, take a moment to reflect on the transformative events that unfolded along this very path. It serves as a testament to the enduring connections between nations and the profound impact that a single route can have in shaping history.

my modern “if the poets went on a roadtrip with mr. keating” headcanons:

- mr. keating: drives like a bat out of hell (this man is literally airborne on the interstate)

- neil: in the passenger seat trying to teach mr. keating that google maps is easier than an actual map + has to turn down the volume of the music constantly bc mr. keating can’t hear anything (“you take a left up here-“ “WHAT?” *cranks music down* “YOU TAKE A LEFT UP HERE, CAPTAIN”)

- todd: got left at the gas station (they did turn around and get him but he just stares out the window behind the drivers seat the whole time in silence—still upset)

- charlie: behind the passenger seat on the aux and playing the most god awful music you’ve ever heard in your life (i feel like he would play a lot of underground music that no man has ever heard before except the artist that created it)

- knox: in the back complaining about the bad WiFi signal bc his awful selfies won’t go through to Chris (she definitely blocked him)

- meeks: in the back as well + binging on the snacks he brought with and watching a movie from the screen on the back of a seat (let’s be honest, he’s watching oppenheimer)

- pitts: “LOOK IT’S A COW” every 5 minutes (also in the back)

- cameron: locked in the trunk somehow?? (mr. keating isn’t aware bc they told him cameron was busy that day)

Canal along the Historic “Perry Road” used by Commodore Perry in 1854.

Step into the enchanting world of Japan's rich history as we delve into the fascinating tale of U.S. Navy Commodore Perry and his arrival on the legendary "Black Ships." Legend has it that Perry himself walked along the pathway that winds alongside this canal, leading to the Ryosenji Temple. It was within these hallowed grounds that the momentous Treaty of Peace and Amity between the U.S. Government and the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate was inked back in 1854.

Adorned with elegant willow trees and time-worn stone pavements, you'll find yourself surrounded by a vintage ambiance created by the rows of Western-style buildings and ancient houses from the Meiji and Taisho periods. It's no wonder that this area has become a beloved tourist hotspot, drawing visitors with its eclectic mix of antique shops and charming cafes.

Prepare to be captivated by the unique architectural style known as Namako-Kabe, famously associated with the region of Izu. These striking walls feature a captivating black hue adorned with a raised white diamond pattern, a testament to the early ingenuity of weatherproofing techniques. As you stroll alongside the canal, you'll be treated to a fusion of Namako homes and shops alongside traditional wooden structures, creating an architectural feast for the eyes. Architecture enthusiasts, be sure to keep your camera at the ready, for every step promises a perfect photo opportunity.

Immerse yourself in the captivating charm of Shimoda. Let its rich past and architectural wonders transport you to a time long gone, and embrace the opportunity to witness history firsthand.

Literally the only reason why I haven’t drawn this man more is that I’ve been trying to figure out how exactly I wanna go about it, which is kinda hard considering that not even canon material does it consistently.

#opening cutscene benny looks different from in game benny #and all roads benny looks like a completely different person panel to panel #his hair isn’t even consistent #the only uniting factor among them is that they all look vaguely like someone tried to draw matthew perry from memory #I guess that’s what you get when the most recognizable part of a character design is a piece of clothing lol #my art #fnv #fallout #fallout new vegas #benny gecko #benny fnv #benny new vegas
